Tiny Power Star Plushie

After making my Super Mario Power Star Pillow I wanted to make a tiny version, so I made this one! It's based on Teena's pattern for stars.

Pattern

Materials
Small amount of worsted weight yarn (I used Caron Simply Soft Sunshine)
F hook
Tapestry needle
Small amount of black felt
Fabric glue

Key
Magic Ring = tutorial here
st = stitch
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch

Star (make two)
9 dc in a Magic Ring, sl st into first dc and pull ring closed
ch 1, (*2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc* in next st, sl st into next st), repeat () around
Leave a long tail on one or both stars for stitching them together.

Weave both stars together using the whip stitch in the inside loops only (or your preferred join method). Begin stuffing when one arm of the star is left, finish weaving, continuing to stuff as needed. Fasten off yarn end and weave through the plushie to hide the end.

Cut eyes in the felt and attach with glue.

Super Mario Power Star Pillow

Since I made my Legend of Zelda Triforce Pillow, I've wanted to make more geeky pillows. However, I couldn't think of one I wanted to make until I thought of doing a Super Mario star, but I couldn't find one out there, so I found April Dravin's "Twinkle Star" pattern and added some eyes.

I used an F hook with Caron Simply Soft Sunshine, so this might have turned out larger if I had used a larger hook or a thicker yarn.

I want to make another one with pointier tips. I'm not sure why mine turned out so rounded, but I think it makes it look almost cuter in a way. Or maybe it's just the eyes.

Super Mario Toad Mushroom Hat

This project was made by my mom!

This is an original piece by my mom. The inspiration came from these mushrooms over at WolfDreamer's blog. Instead of working the Toad hat from the bottom up like the mushrooms were, the hat was done cap down.

The yarns used for this project were Impeccable Kelly Green, Impeccable White, and Red Heart Soft Off-White. The five white circles were made from the white yarn and sewed on. The eyes were made by gluing on black felt. The base of the mushroom was crocheted with the off-white yarn.

I will be posting the pattern for this soon, so keep an eye out!

Super Mario Hat

This project was made by my mom!

The pattern for this hat was written by Laura Michels over at Crazy Crochet Lady.

The hat took less than one ball of Red Heart Red yarn, and a small amount of white yarn for the logo background. The M was cut out of red felt and sewed on. I love the way the hat turns out like a hexagon due to the evenly spaced increases. That almost gives it stability, especially since the Red Heart yarn is a bit stiff.
