Hi everyone!  Here's another Mario related project of mine...actually I just noticed that the only projects I've posted here are Mario inspired!  I saw a project similar to this one on Ravelry and just had to have a go at it.  
This is a Piranha Plant scarf that I made for my bf's younger sister.  She's either a Junior or Senior in high school.


Our apartment kind of has a Mario theme going on...even the bathroom's decorated!



I'm kind of worried that she's too cool to wear this out.  Geek Chic is in though, right?  That kind of sucks if you're a real nerd-- because that's not cool.  It's only cool if you're pretending  Tongue

I used Lion Brand Jiffy Solids.  Originally I doubled up on the yarn when I made the green pipe, but it came out too thick and stiff.  So I started a 2nd green pipe without doubling up and it turned out soft and cozy.  

Here is the pattern for the Piranha Plant itself for those who want to have a go at this.  
Please do not resell the pattern or the finished product, thank you!

Green Pipe:
Chain until you reach about 5ft (or a good length you're happy with that can wrap around your neck), then work the rows in this pattern:

Once you're finished, use a yarn needle to sew in and hide all the ends of the yarn.
Using black yarn, SC around the border of the scarf.

Piranha Plant (make 1)
Beginning with red yarn
R1: 4sc in a Magic Circle (Do Not Join!)
R2: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in ea sc. (Eight)
R3: Ch 1, turn, *sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc* (12)
R4: Ch 1, turn, *sc in each of next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (16)
R5: Ch 1, turn, *sc in ea first 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (20)
R6: Ch 1, turn, *sc in ea first 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (24)
R7: Ch 1, turn, *sc in ea first 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (28)
R8: Ch 1, turn, *sc in ea first 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (32)
R9: Ch 1, turn, *sc in ea first 7 sc, 2 sc in next sc* (36)
To crochet more rows: On each new row, continue to add one more sc in between each increase
Fasten off, leave a tail to sew in and hide knot

With white yarn
~ SC around the mouth opening of the Piranha Plant –OR- use a yarn needle and blanket stitch around the mouth.
~ Make 10 spots (6sc in Magic Circle, fasten off) and sew on the Piranha Plant. –OR- cut the spots from white felt and glue on.

Leaves (make 4)
Using green yarn
R1: Chain 11
R2: In 2nd chain from hook: sc, sc, hdc, dc, tc, tc, tc, dc, hdc, sc
R3: Ch1, turn.  Then sc, hdc, dc, tc, tc, tc, dc, hdc, sc, sc.  Fasten off.
Sew leaves to Piranha Plant, then sew to scarf.

I hope this was helpful for anyone that wanted to make this!  Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.   Smiley

I like the scarf.  I like your place too.  Mario has been the only game I have picked up and I loved.  Is the plant's head crocheted seperate and then attached to the pipe?   good job!!

Yes it's a separate piece, I can write a pattern for it and the leaves too if anyone wants to try this out.  Just say so if you're interested  Wink
