About

Jamie's mad about computer games, particularly Minecraft and I fancied a challenge. I used the outline pattern shapes from a cardigan I made my six-year old daughter; modified the size and stitch used; then created chart after chart of minecraft characters / items. Before this, I never would have imagined I would find myself crocheting a pork chop! I spent about 4 months planning the design and 3-4 months crocheting (with quite a lot of frogging and design-tweaking). I was very pleased with the result, less pleased with the mild Winter, which has meant not much wear.... I'm hoping it will stretch.

  Thank-you. Sadly, I expect Mojang would have copyright expectations if I wanted to make money from this...

  I think this pattern would be very popular if you wanted to sell it!

  Thank-you, would have been harder if Minecraft figures weren't so squared off! S
