I loved Mario when I was growing up and I would play Mario 64 and Mario Karts for hours with my friends after school.  I usually chose Toad as my go to character for Mario Karts and I took competition with my friends very seriously. Dropping banana peels and knowing the shortcuts was key in my game play strategy!  So when a friend of mine asked for Bob-omb to be made for her kid, I jumped at the chance to create him and write up the pattern as it brought back happy childhood memories.

My version turned out great and was very well received by my friends kid.

Learn how to make him using these video tutorials, I have split them into part one and two as it was a long tutorial otherwise. 

Who is your favourite Mario character? Is there any other Mario characters you would like to make?

To make your Bob-omb you will need:

• DK Size Yarn
  • Black Yarn
  • White Yarn
  • Yellow Yarn
  • Blue Yarn
  • A little bit of Orange Yarn
• Crochet Hook – I am using my 2.5mm Clover Amour Hook *
• Toy Stuffing
• Yarn Needle
• Stitch Markers
• Pins
• Pair of scissors
