Crochet Super Mario(or Luigi) Pattern

   So I've been working on a crochet Mario on and off for the past few days. Lately I've been getting so many ideas for projects it's hard to concentrate on just one. I just want to do everything, and obviously it's not possible to do it all at once. I hope that someday all the projects I have in my head will be realized.    Anyway, here's is my Mario pattern :)
