The Katamari Prince pattern has been a long time ambition of mine because I have a lot of clump spirit. The pattern is a Nerdigurumi original made in my usual array of worsted weight cotton yarn. The head and body were done with a 3.75 mm hook and the legs and arms with a 3.5 mm hook while the antenna and red ball were done with half strands of yarn and a 2.5 mm hook. An actual Katamari pattern will be coming up soon!

NobyNoby Boy is quite possibly my most favorite video game of all time. This is a pattern I originally posted to the now defunct Noby Noby League thread at the EU Playstation forums. It was originally stuffed with catnip, nicknamed “Crappy Crappy Boy” on account of the cretinous facial features and was presented to my cat Lucky (pictured above) for her to murder. Now it lives in shame in a crag by the litterbox, having been thoroughly used, abused and discarded. The pattern did make it’s way on to Kotaku and from there sort of all over the interwebs, which is sort of fabulous, but I have improved and tweaked it a bit because it was perhaps overly simply and a bit more wangish than I was happy with.

This next one, not filled with catnip, has earned earn a slightly less pitiful fate and resides at my mom’s place, enjoying a leisurely retirement. The pattern is available after the photos. He can be made as short or as long as you like, and a long wire through his body could make him poseable. Pretty much any color can be used for the body segments including a solid single color, but the head and butt should be pink for 1P, blue for 2P, orange for 3P and green for 4P.

This pattern is a Nerdigurumi original, free for non-commercial use. The Goomba character belongs to Nintendo (obviously) and I make no claim to it’s awesomeness, although I did convert it’s image to the marvelous crochet goodness you see before you.

This particular fellow is stuffed with catnip and will likely suffer the same fate as the real Goombas did, although at the hands of a hepped up kitty cat, versus a hepped up Italian plumber.
