William C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern

William C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern

Create a fun and eye-catching personalized blanket with this C2C crochet pattern featuring Mario, the iconic hero from the Super Mario series, personalized with the name WILLIAM, making it a perfect custom project for a child or any Mario fan or young gamer.

This design showcases Mario in a playful flying pose, set against a bright sky background with soft, pixel-style clouds. His classic red cap with the “M,” blue overalls, white gloves, and expressive face are clearly defined using bold color blocks, giving the blanket a nostalgic, video game-inspired look. The character appears full of motion and energy, adding a lively feel to the overall design.

At the bottom of the blanket, the name WILLIAM is worked in large, block-style letters, making the piece truly personal and ideal for gifting. The clean white border frames the entire design, helping the vibrant colors stand out while keeping the look neat and balanced.

This pattern is perfect for creating a memorable handmade blanket for a boy named William, whether for a birthday, nursery decor, or a special keepsake.

Inside this pattern, you will find everything you need to make a cozy throw blanket. The main chart is divided into multiple pages for easy use, and step-by-step row-by-row instructions in English are included in two formats: color block charts and written instructions. You will also find a formulas section that explains how to calculate gauge, estimate yarn usage for the full graphghan afghan and each color, and adjust the final size using any yarn you prefer.

This pattern uses US crochet terms and is worked in the C2C (corner-to-corner) technique, crocheted diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. Due to frequent color changes and detailed shaping, this design is intended for experienced crocheters and is not suitable for beginners. The result is a detailed and expressive handmade throw, perfect as a gift or statement piece.

GRID SIZE: 100 × 120 squares.
