1-up mushroom beanie

#1

Hello all! Following my path of nerdcore knitting, I’d like to present you with this pattern for a beanie bearing resemblance to the holy 1-up mushroom of Super Mario Bros fame. (You can also sub in yellow for green and brick red for tan to get a Growth Mushroom beanie)

As of now, I haven’t made it, but am about to cast on. I’m hoping that purling the eyes will allow me to not rib the entire base.

Oh I bet it’s cute! Share the FO in What’cha Knittin’ when you’re done!

BTW… .how many do you cast on? :??

#3

Sorry, it’s 108 with a final circumference of 24" using US7 needles (should be an Adult large, I hope)

Also, what’s FO stand for?:think:

#4

Thanks! That is really large, but if I make it I’ll see if it can be adjusted.

Finished Object = FO…we used that when we share a finished project. :thumbsup: If you see WIP that means work in progress if you’re not done yet.

#5

Ah, I see. I just got off work, so I’ll see if I can size it down for an Adult Small (96 st)

#6

That would make for a very cute beanie! I love Mario alot, and just found a pair of arm warmers that would go well with this. I’ll have to dig around in my stash to find the yarn for it. :wink:

#7

Cool. I’m also making patterns for a Goomba and a Koopa Paratroopa whose wings fold down to cover the ears… ya, that one’s gonna be tricky =p

#8

Okay, I have never done colorwork before, but I may have to learn to do so, just to knit this.

I love it! Please do keep us posted with pictures and possible errata! I’m going to subscribe to this thread so I can watch. :slight_smile:
