Crochet Mario Granny Square Blanket

Crochet Mario Granny Square Blanket

My son and I were scrolling through Pinterest one evening looking at crochet patterns. He loves Mario so I knew he would freak out when he saw the picture, sure enough he saw the picture and excitedly asked me" Can you make that for me?!" Of course I said yes. :)

This blanket is 252 squares,  you can choose any granny square pattern you like to get the pixel look.  My plan is to have it finished by Christmas for him. 

Here's the link to the pattern

So far I have 7 black granny squares four rows long. I will update as I go.

Have fun making this awesome blanket!
