Mario Monday - Super Mario Bros. 2 Scene - Princess Peach

 Another graph today. As we said we are sharing the last group of scenes for the Super Mario Bros. 2 CAL (Crochet A Long). This is the graph for Princess Peach! And today she is in the Dessert with the Shyguy! We have two graphs here, we have one with the shyguy and one without it. If you haven't crocheted the other dessert graphs you can skip him on the other graphs also. As always the dessert sand is optional and a note will be made of that in the section below dedicated to the colours.

Colours Needed/Recommended:

- Pink (Dusty Rose)

- Brown (lighter than chocolate)

- White

- Black

- Burgundy

- Background Colour

- Sand (Gold or special yarn that creates the same effect)

Creating Your Own Blanket

 Today we are really going to look at what goes into making a blanket. The Mario graphs work well because the Mario Video Games are in what they call "8-bit". That means that it is all small little "box" that make up the image. And that is what a graph is. They are boxes coloured to make up an image. Those images can be small (like the Mario Graphs we are sharing this year), or quite large like a full blanket. But they all work on the same principle.

(Example of a Square Graph Grid)

Keeping this in mind, this will help you create layouts for your blankets with these Super Mario 2 Graphs. The main thing to remember is that you want to put the same sizes together. So if you are using a 25 x 50 landscape graph you need to match those measurements to make the blanket even. Now this doesn't have to be the exact same. For example, you can use two 25 x 25 graphs to make up the 50 side of the first graph. But you want to make sure everything lines up properly.

Mario Monday - Super Mario Bros. 2 Scenes - Luigi in the Clouds

 As we said last week, this month we are sharing the last of these scene graphs. And today it is Luigi's graph. So finally we have Luigi in the clouds with the Hoopster. And we have two graphs this week. One with a cloud and one without, again you only need to crochet one (even if you are doing all the projects). You can find the second graph below with the cloud, the cloud is white so you do not need added colours.

Colours needed/recommended for this graph:

- Blue (Light Navy)

- Green

- Light Green (Darker than lime)

- Dark Green (about a Medium)

- White

- Black

- Burgundy

- Background colour

Character Graph - Small - Toad

 This is our last small graph! And of course, we saved Toad for last. As with the other graphs, no matter which pathway you have chosen you need to crochet this graph also. All these graphs are going to be the "border" to blanket number 5 (or blanket two once you have chosen your pathway). But we will comment more on that in a different post.

Colours needed / recommended:

- Blue (Light Navy) - White Skin Tone (Darker than the rest) - Background Colour
