Mario Sweater Vest Pattern

Block out the next two months of your calendar:
the Mario Sweater Vest pattern is ready!

The instructions come in one size, at a finished waist circumference of 40 inches. That should comfortably fit anyone with a waist size of 36–38 inches. If you happen to have different proportions, no worries. A plain knitting chart is also included that you can use in conjunction with almost any sweater pattern of your choice. If you need a bigger size than the chart will accommodate, just repeat the sky and rocks on the sides. A great place to find knitting patterns is Knitty. They have lovely patterns for women, men, and children, and they’re all free so it’s a great place to start. If you find a pattern using a gauge of around 26-28 stitches = 4 inches, you should be able to use the KnitPicks Pallette yarn in the materials list. Otherwise, you’ll have to find yarn of a different weight to use.

The Mario Sweater Vest pattern is coming soon, I promise! In the meantime, you can satisfy your nerdy/crafty urges with this adorable (and free!) Super Mushrooms knitting pattern, designed by the talented Emily B. Miller. It looks like a great way to use up some of your yarn stash while getting your nerd on. Now all you’ll need is a question block to put them in. I bet if I Googled hard enough I would probably find a pattern for that as well!

Baby Link Outfit – Free Pattern

I made this baby-sized Link costume as a baby shower gift for a couple of close friends. Both are huge fans of Zelda, and they are expecting their first child very soon. After posting it on Craftster I was absolutely blown away by the response it received—over 30,000 hits in just one week, and before long dozens of blogs from Geekologie.com to Kotaku.com and even GayGamer.net wrote about my nerdy little outfit! (I love the GayGamer logo, by the way! Would it be inappropriate to call it fabulous?)

You can download the pattern on our Free Patterns page. Now you’ll be able to dress up the infant of your choice as Link! Don’t have an infant handy? Make a Baby Link Outfit anyway! Your significant other just might make a baby with you just to be able to dress him/her up as Link!
