The Nerdiest Sweater Vest in the World

Knitting stitches are basically pixels, right? I took that idea to the extreme, and converted a screenshot of Level 1-1 from the original NES Mario Bros. game into a ginormous knitting chart made up of over 10 sheets of tabloid paper taped together, which I used to make a sweater vest for my video game-loving husband.
Update
Well over 100 comments were posted by people eager to get their hands on a pattern. So always true to my word, I made one. You can download it here. We will be having a photo contest in conjunction with GameCity for the most interesting photo of your completed Mario Sweater Vest in March and April, so get knitting!
Getting a Custom Colour of Yarn
I found the best selection of colours of yarn at KnitPicks, which has almost every colour you could imagine. Almost.
I looked everywhere, and couldn’t find the bright green that I needed for the pipe and small bush, so I ordered an extra skein of white and dyed it with chartreuse acid dye to get the colour I needed. All that to knit a pipe and a small bush! But I think the result was well worth it.
Front
Back
Making the Sweater
I just made up the armhole and neckline shaping as I went along, and held up the half-finished sweater in front of my hubby to make sure the shaping was working. I left live stitches on the shoulders on stitch holders while I finished the rest of the sweater, so that they could be grafted together at the end for a seamless finish, and then picked up stitches along the armhole and neckline edges with a circular needle to knit the ribbed trimming.
The design wraps seamlessly around the sweater from front to back. I originally knit the row of rocks (or are they bricks?) around the bottom of the sweater using a Fair Isle technique, but the whole thing ended up bunching up to about half it’s intended width. So in the end, I cut that section out, knit 16 rows of plain brown, seamlessly grafted the two sections back together again and then embroidered the pink and black lines that make up the pattern of bricks using a stitch that mimics knit stitches.

That looks great ! I would be very interested in a pattern.
Isis on January 2nd, 2010
OMG this is the best thing ever! I am learning how to knot at the moment, and can only make scarves ( really basic ugly ones at that), but this is AMAZING! like Joey Lawrence Whoa!
Autumn on January 2nd, 2010
I love it! Write up that pattern for sure!
elociNNicole on January 2nd, 2010
LOVE! I love this so much! I sincerely hope you get all of your comments! I need to make this for myself! You rule!
myklia on January 2nd, 2010
Definitely write a pattern and extra kudos for dying to get the one color you were missing.
melanie on January 2nd, 2010
I LOVE this and would totally be up for a pattern. It’s beyond my skill level to knit with so many colors, but I’ll learn it, if only for this project!
Courtney on January 3rd, 2010
My hub would LOVE this. He’ll probably see it on one of the many sites he visits, and I’ll guaretee he’ll want one. A pattern would be awesome, and awesome job!
joan on January 3rd, 2010
I am very interested in a pattern! This vest is AWESOME!
Christa on January 3rd, 2010
Love it! All of my children have been Mario fans from the start. Beautiful work. You could sign me up for the pattern request.
meghan on January 3rd, 2010
even just the charts would make me piddle on the floor a bit.
love it!
laura on January 4th, 2010
seriously, i don’t think people realize the kind of incredible work that goes into making this vest. the fact that you dyed the yarns is even more astounding (especially because of your level of accuracy in the color matching!). I go to school for this sort of thing (fiber & textile design) and could never expect this kind of brilliant outcome. I LOVE IT! FREAKING ADORKABLE!!!!!<3
sukigirl on January 4th, 2010
I think it’s amazing! I’d love to tackle something like this and would
love if you posted a pattern.
Thanks so much suki
Lyndzi on January 5th, 2010
Holy WOW. This is spectacular. I showed my gamer-fan boyfriend and “I want to knit this!” He was like, “I’m sorry, I love you, but I would get the shit beat out of me if I wore that,” and I responded with, “Not for you, for me!” ^___^
Please post a pattern! <3
Paul on January 5th, 2010
This is going to sound fake, but I assure you it is not. I am doing a “500 days of sweater vest” adventure. I would love to include this in my quest. The office will pay for the shipping back and forth. we’ll only have it for one day. if you are at all interested in participating, please contact me. you can follow me at 500sweatervests on twitter. thnx.

Tracy on January 7th, 2010
That’s so cute, my son would be beside himself if I knit him one. Unfortunately I can only knit big, not very straight rectangles. He’ll have to be happy looking at the picture.

DragonsCat on January 8th, 2010
Actually, I’d just love a description of how you put your own pattern together. You didn’t just go one to one, pixel to stitch, I’m guessing (since Mario’s not squished and all!)? Did you use software to help put it together and print it out?
Manxa on January 8th, 2010
I don’t wear sweatervests and even I would wear it.
“Get on my horse!”

Onizuka-GTO on January 12th, 2010
Woah, that’s…..amazing!
Extremely nerdy, but so full of win.
Also I guess it keeps the poor bloke from straying which i suppose is what he signed up for, but hey at leased he looks good doing it…i think…. lolol
Sandy on January 13th, 2010

I would love one or a pattern of one. I would buy one if you made it. Here is my contact Info ath401@gmail.com. Please get back to me that would rock
Sammii on January 14th, 2010
Make it a Hoodie and I’m sooooo buying it. Best thing ever! ^^
Janey on January 14th, 2010
My kids would be beaten to a bloody pulp if they ever wore this….anywhere. Ever.
Itsumishi on January 14th, 2010
I think my Jealousy meter just broke.
First of all. Greatest. Sweater. In. The. History. Of. The. Universe.
Secondly. You made this for your husband?! You are an amazing wife of truly excellent character!
mepsipax on January 14th, 2010
That is freakin sweet. I know that kids would get beat up but adults would be admired…. well in my mind they would be.
Cookie on January 15th, 2010
Awesome job!
To everyone requesting a pattern though – get over it! Make one yourselves, lazy ppl!
I think Ms Seamstress is catering way too much to you all by making the pattern herself. Gah!
jrace70 on January 15th, 2010
I will never know knitting, but surely that is the most awesome thing in the knitting world!!
Now where can I get one…
Rob_Stan on January 15th, 2010
I love it, we’ve got a couple of pet DBA’s in the offfice and they would look super great. Quite fancy one myself – and I don’t mean the sweaters!!!!
Joshua on January 15th, 2010
Thanks for the share & keep up the good work! I look forward to another.
Adam on January 15th, 2010
LOL, this is exactly how HARRY POTTER should have looked like in the MOVIE! Thumbs up for the sweater by the way.
Rachel on January 15th, 2010
This is excellent!! I am thinking about doing something similar with old Atari games. How awesome would it be to have a sweater with the castle and dragon from “Adventure” on it?
K-L on January 16th, 2010
The sweater is plain amazing! I would LOVE to get the pattern, please e-mail me if you are interested in selling me the instructions!
Jess on January 16th, 2010
I would pay a LOT of money for one of those sweaters.
ck on January 16th, 2010
holy moley! how in the world did you get harry potter to agree to model for you? you guys have really upped the ante!
Edvin on January 18th, 2010
Realy cool work. I’ll probably get all the other comenters against me, but I think you should hold on to that pattern! If I had made something nearly as awsom as that I’d think twice before macing it avalabe for copying. But don’t get me wrong.. That’s just me. If you want to shear it then go ahead and do so. Shearing is a wonderful thing to do. I just don’t think that nagging should be your reason to do so, Giving in to nagging and shear something you’d really rather keep for your self gives a cinda bitter fealing. An idea could be to make another similar patern. That way you can shear and keep the uniquenes of you vest.
Anyhow. Really nice work once again. Keep that up! :)
nocturbuous on January 18th, 2010
Do want!
Rahly on January 18th, 2010
A real nerd would have spotted that, that is not Mario Brothers, but rather SUPER Mario Brothers. They probably would have played the original to know the difference, too.
Moulin Rogue on January 19th, 2010
Have you seen this? I think this girl has upped the ante: http://gegecrochet.blogspot.com/2009/03/mario-party-part-1.html
Cassi on January 19th, 2010
Amazing!
r on January 20th, 2010
Is your model the “real” Harry Potter? Since he was looking down, I didn’t see the scar on his forehead!
Donna on January 20th, 2010

@jonathan: Sorry, I can’t take any custom orders, but maybe you can bribe a knitter that you know to make one for you? ;-)

OMG! I want one so bad, I don’t even own a sweater vest let alone like them lol, but that is just amazingly awesome.

Lets be honest, we all think this is cute and nostalgic, but you women who want to design this for your man better think again; he is not some little toy dog that you can dress up and parade around… And if he seriously decides to wear this anyways, then he is just plain f%ck!n mad.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the great work Look forward to reading more from you in the future. I think it will be also nice if you add “send to email” tool so people can forward the articles to their friends easily.
