Retro Video Game Plumbers Amigurumi Pattern

If you grew up with a controller in your hand, you are going to absolutely adore this project. I have put together a full set including both brothers, their iconic green pipes, and even some power-up mushrooms to round out the scene. They are the perfect size for a desk buddy or a nostalgic gift for the gamer in your life. Grab your favorite hooks and let's bring these pixelated legends into the real world with some soft, handmade charm.

Materials Needed for Retro Video Game Plumbers Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Begin by sewing the red body to the beige head, ensuring the stuffing is firm so the neck doesn't wobble.
• Position the dark brown hair base diagonally on the head and sew it down, then add the ears 5 stitches away from the eyes.
• Fit the blue uniform over the body, centering the front and back flaps, then attach the legs to the bottom of the uniform.
• Secure the arms to the sides of the upper body, using an optional wire insert if you want them to be poseable.
• Layer the moustache under the nose and sew the eyebrows just above the eyes to capture that classic expression.
• Assemble the cap by attaching the white emblem detail to the front before placing the whole hat onto the head.
• For the pipe, fold the fabric at the FLO/BLO lines to create the rim, then tuck the darker green section inside and stuff.

Important Notes

• 💡Use ball point pins during assembly to hold small pieces like buttons and moustaches in place before sewing.
• 💡If you are making these for young children, I highly recommend sewing all parts securely instead of using hot glue.
• 💡The 'Sealing Method' involves applying a small dab of hot glue to twisted yarn tails and pressing them flat with scissors to hide ends quickly.
• 💡For the pipes, adding popcorn kernels or small pebbles at the very bottom provides necessary weight for stability.
• 💡Check your stitch counts at the end of every round, especially during the complex folding sections of the pipe pattern.
• 💡Luigi's body and arms use the exact same stitch pattern as Mario's, just swap the red yarn for green.
