Block #5 of the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—12 Block Crochet Along is the friendly Cow. As I mentioned in the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan introductory post, Minecraft is one of the most popular videos games. Ever. In it, players can explore, build, and live and fight in a 3D world. Depending on the mode of gameplay a user chooses, he or she can cooperate with or compete against other players, can fight creatures for survival, or can build and play with unlimited resources.
Just like the Minecraft Pig, Cows are passive mobs. They are found in grassy regions. And just like in the real world, Minecraft Cows can be milked or killed for leather and beef. The leather can be used for creating books or crafting armor. Cows can also be bred, producing, you guessed it, baby cows!
NOTE: Most of the blocks in the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—12 Block Crochet Along have been simplified from how the characters look in the Minecraft game. This is primarily due to the availability of yarn colors. There are only so many greens or browns or reds offered in any yarn brand! Also, many of the characters are a different shade from pixel to pixel. Frankly this would be painful to crochet. My son GKatt, who designed most of these blocks, kept the integrity of each character while simplifying them for crocheters.

When all the blocks are stitched, we’ll finish things up with Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—Joining and Edging.
