Waluigi Crochet Doll / Wrist Cushion

For a few months now I’ve been using a Unicorn crochet wrist cushion that I made and it has helped lower the pain I sometimes got from over internet surfing. My husband saw it and wanted one for himself but asked if I could do one with his favorite Nintendo character. I agreed as it was the first time he had asked me to create something with crochet and I thought it would make for a fun project…until I found out who his favorite character was! His name is…

…Waluigi, and as you can probably tell, it’s not the usual cute looking thing that I try to make on this blog. But with Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought it would make a great gift and so I tried my best to recreate this goofy and creepy looking guy. Here’s the end result:

In this project, I mainly used the cotton yarn and polyester filling. But for the bottom part of the legs, instead of stuffing with polyester filling, I’ve used the small green beans so that the weight can allow Waluigi to do more funny postures.

Have you ever made a crochet gift to your Valentine on the Valentine’s Day? I would also love to hear about your projects 🙂
