Notes

Frequently asked questions

In what order should I assemble Mario?

Head with ears, nose and mustache first; then hair cap with sideburns; body from the shoes up with the overalls bib, straps and buttons; arms with glove cuffs; and finally the hat with its embroidered M.

How do the color layers of the legs work?

BLO rounds mark each transition — shoe to trouser (round 4) and trouser to red shirt (round 15) — leaving front loops free for the pants edge and the bib to be worked into.

What is the 'g' stitch in the arm round?

A small thumb bump worked in one stitch (bobble-style); the left and right arms place it at mirrored positions.
