Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

All of my Nintendo Washcloth pattens are discontinued. If you added the patterns to your Ravelry library when they were available, the files should still be there for you to use. However, as they feature trademarked characters I do not own, I no longer distribute them to anyone, on or off Ravelry. Thank you for understanding!

It’s hard to resist the lovable helplessness of Toad. Even though he usually needs Mario to save him, and despite his squeaky voice, he has a certain charm.

This pattern includes a chart for the stitches as well as alternative written-out instructions. I made the test cloth black because I had black cotton yarn I needed to use up, but bright colours would certainly be appropriate for such a cheerful guy! It’s a more complex pattern than most textured washcloths, but still very quick and easy to knit.

All the Nintendo-themed washcloths are designed to be exactly the same size (25 x 25 cm/10 x 10 inches), so they can also be used as afghan squares and they should all line up nicely with one another. The charts included can be used as double-knitting templates as well by treating RS knit stitches as colour A and RS purl stitches as colour B, excluding the garter stitch edge. Note that for double-knitting you will need twice as much yarn (70-80 yards of each colour) because you are basically knitting two squares at once.

Enjoy!
