Luma from Mario Galaxy

Mario Galaxy is still one of my favorite games. I received it for Christmas when I was in high school, and that whooooole winter break I played it. I loved the Lumas most of all. Their shape, their ship, their music, their NOISES, oh it was all too cute. I remember my dad briefly watching me play and even he was like. Oh. Those star things are cute.

Free Goomba Amigurumi and Christmas Boot Crochet Pattern

I love these goofy guys from the Mario series. I especially love how much more personality they have in Mario Odyssey, stacking them up to see the girl goombas, etc. Too cute! So I made some goomba stacks of my own, as well as a Christmas Boot (throwback to the green boot from NES Mario games).
Without further ado, here's a free pattern!

I don't even know how to coherently relate each item to the next. We have from penguins to ballet slippers, I've been busy making them all!

Charmander Pokemon Crochet Pattern

These Charmanders are stocking stuffers for a class at a local school who were in need of some cheering. I specifically designed them to be easy to make and easy to give away. 

I wanted a quick, cute, and efficient Pokemon pattern. Something that kids would recognize, or if they didn't know Pokemon, would still like. Oddish, Poliwag, Voltorbs, all those round, easier Pokemon were a no-go. I finally settled on Charmander. Even if you didn't know or like Pokemon, he could still be thought of as a dragon or dinosaur. Also, he is DARLING so there.

So after creating NINE of him and tweaking the pattern over and over, here it is! His body and head are connected, saving some time. I did some facial sculpting just by weaving yarn back and forth through his eye sockets, but if you like the straight forward approach you can omit that.
