Mario 3 crochet blanket

That looks amazing! How long did it take? Whats the finished size? Ive done similar projects, and im glad to know that 2 double crochets per pixel works great! ive been doing 1 single crochet per pixel lol

With 2dc per pixel it still is a little stretched. Kind of like playing on full mode on a 16:9 display. But probably not that bad.
3W X 2H squares of double crochet is the cleanest pixel I've made but that ends up getting a little too big!
I think it took me about 3 weeks of putting in about an hour a day. I was kind of on and off with it though. Some days I would work for 3 hours, other times I'd do just a row.

Oh, I missed one question there.

The blanket is not terribly big.... It's about an even 3 foot X 3 foot. Won't keep you warm but looks nice draped on a couch or something. It would make a great baby blanket if it wasn't made of Red Heart brand acrylic yarn....

Amazing! Give yourself a huge pat on the back! The border works with it aswell!

Brilliant!! May I ask how big the blanket is? I couldn't really tell from the photo- I'd have one of those as a throw on my bed!
