Mushroom Scarf – Crochet Pattern

A new scarf I made!  1-up mushrooms from Super Mario Bros.  Here’s the pattern:

Row 1:  With Green Thread:  Ch 7.  Ch 1 turn, sc 7.  (= 7 sts)

Row 2:  Ch 1 turn.  (2 sc into next stitch), 5 sc, (2 sc into last stitch).  (=9 sts)

Row 3:  Ch 1 turn. sc evenly across.  (= 9 sts)

Row 4:  Ch 1 turn. (2 sc), 7 sc, (2 sc).  (= 11 sts)

Row 5:  Ch 1 turn. sc evenly across.  (= 11 sts)

Row 6:  Ch 1 turn.  (2 sc), 9 sc, (2 sc).  (=13 sts)

Rows 7 through 10:  Ch 1 turn. sc evenly across.  (= 13 sts)

Row 11:  Ch 1 turn.  3 sc (on last pull-through, use white thread).  With white thread (carry over green): 7 sc (on last pull-through, use green thread.  With green thread: 3 sc.  (= 13 sts)

Row 12:  (with green thread): Ch 1 turn.  Sc 2 together.  1 sc (on last pull-through, use white thread).  With white (don’t carry over green thread): 7 sc.  Cut green thread, leaving a 10 inch tail.  Sew green over to where you are now – sew it in the green section so you can’t see it in the white section.  Pick up this thread on last pull-through of the white stitches.  With green: 1 sc.  Sc 2 together.  Tie off green.  (= 11 sts)

Row 13:  Hook through the last white stitch, and pull the white thread through.  Ch 1.  Sc in same stitch.  6 more sc.  (= 7 sts)

Rows 14 through 16:  Ch 1 turn.  7 sc.  (=7 sts)

Tie off white.  Sew in loose ends.

For the outline, use black thread.  Hook into first green chain, and sc all around the outside of the figure.  When you come back to the first stitch, slip stitch, and leave a 12 inch tail that you’ll use to sew the mushrooms together later.

For the eyes, use black thread.  Cut off a length of thread about 5 inches.  Insert into the white section where you want the top of the eye to be, and sew through two rows down.  Do this twice.  Tie off on the side facing away from viewer.

For the spots, use white thread.  These instructions are for the main mushroom with one big spot and two smaller side ones.  But you can switch up the appearance of the spots to give the scarf some variety.

Big spot:

Row 1:  Make “magic ring”  (http://www.crochetme.com/forums/t/28917.aspx).  5 sc into ring.

Row 2:  Ch 1.  (2 sc) into each stitch of magic ring.  (= 10 sts)

Row 3:  [ (2 sc into next stitch), 1 sc.  ]  repeat 5 times.  (= 15 sts)

Slip stitch and tie off, leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing.

Small spots:

Row 1:  Ch 3.  Ch 1 turn.  3 sc.  (= 3 sts)

Row 2:  Ch 1 turn.  (2 sc into next stitch), 1 sc.  (= 2 sts)

Slip stitch and tie off, leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing.

Sew spots onto Mushroom.

———————–

Make 14 mushrooms total.  Using the tail from the black outline, sew the top of one mushroom to the bottom of another.  Make 2 pieces of 7 mushrooms each.  Then sew the tops of the top mushroom on each piece to each other.

And you’re done!   🙂
