  1. OMG! I just started doing cross-stitch again after about 10 years of a break from it, and I CANNOT wait to do this one! I absolutely LOVE Mario. I’m rushing to the store for supplies right now!
    You’ve inspired me to do one for Yoshi, my favorite Nintendo character 🙂 And my husband would love Link, but he’d never admit he liked cross-stitch, but I am going to have to do these for myself.
    I’ll post on my blog when I complete it and let you know!

  2. I love this!

  3. jessica: awesome! let me know when you’ve posted them…and if you make a yoshi pattern and want to share it id love to post it too!

Below is one of the patterns available for download: […]

  33. does anyone know how much it would cost to buy all the material to complete this project???

  34. assuming you have no supplies…approx.
    14 colors = $7
    needles = $4
    cloth = $5

    so easy less than $20.

  35. thanks, another question is if i want to add the mario in the green shoe, what would be the width and height of the cloth i should buy?

  36. one more question incase you haven’t answered the other one, how many thread of floss do you use to stitch each stitch for this project?

  37. two strands is the typical usage for cross stitch.

  38. Hey johloh, I don’t know if you knew this, but I did this pattern in Perler beads and added a Super Mario World sprite to the end! 🙂

  46. what is the size of adia id need in inchs please?????

  47. your aida can be whatever you want. 16 or 14 is the most common…14 is 14 stitches per inch, 16 is 16 per inch. so if you choose 14 itll be bigger.

  48. sorry what i mran is that youve put, 216 W x 64 H thats very very big if inchs and even in cm

  49. its not inches or cm. its stitches.

    you need to divide the stitches by the type of aida to get the overall size. one stitch isnt one inch.

    in aida 14, 14 stitches = 1inch.

  50. oh right ok i get it now duh sorry i was gonna say thats very big if its even cm lol

  51. next pay day which thank fully is tuesday im gonna go out any by the stuff to do this cant wait 😀 😀 😀

  52. i started this project today only cost me approx £16 which is good i think 😀 £4.99 for the adia and the rest in dcm 85p per colour 😀 just wondering how long its gonna take me to complete the white i think will take the time

  53. I’m starting on this right now! So excited!

  54. Love the pattern…my 9yo is a great fan, want to make this for xmas…could you send me the pattern in blackand white along with the direction legend? i couldn’t open the file…tia
    linda

  55. Okay—switched computers and all is working well….going to store to get fabric…..well first i’ll check stash…then floss then store…

    starting on this today as well…thanks so much for all of your effort

  60. Question…. On the symbol chart… What does dk, md, ul vy dk, and lt mean????

  61. Also… I am new to cross stitching… I purchased a 14 cloth and it seems from the finished ones on here that I bought the wrong cloth. Mine has much bigger holes in it than what I am seeing on here. Can I still make it work with what I have? HELP?!?!

    • I use aida 14. The smaller the number the bigger the project. The bigger the number the smaler the project. Any number will work.

      The number is holes per inch.

    This pattern is epic! I love it. But I can’t cross-stitch…

  65. Rebecca

    Thank you so much for posting this. I LOVE IT! I am looking for patterns for LEGO mosaics, especially for Mario since I am obsessed, but most of them have been done a million times. This is going to be physically huge for a LEGO mosaic but I am going to give this a try (hopefully) soon!
