One of my niece’s friends is a Mario fan: he wears t-shirts, ha has many Mario video games. He is crazy about him!. This boy is very special and I thought a giant Mario would be a good birthday’s gift.
There are many free patterns for taking inspiration. The one I love the most is:

by Wolfdreamer.
I want to remark that I haven’t copy her pattern. My Mario is double size. I saw her final result and wrote a new pattern.
Wolfdreamer’s talent is impressive and I love her designs!.

The more difficult part to crochet and assemble is the face. The eyebrows, the moustache, … quite a lot of details.
I went for a full doll, what I mean is that the trousers can be taken off and we have a full toy with legs.
