Block #2 of the Minecraft C2C Crochet Along is the Creeper. 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.
Not being a Minecraft player myself, I have been doing a little research to understand the Minecraft characters and video game lingo. According to the Minecraft Wiki, “a creeper is a common hostile mob that silently approaches players and explodes.” Sounds cool. And oh by the way, “mob” is short for mobile. So a mob is any lifelike character that can move and interact. Creepers are very distinctive in appearance (I know you’ve seen them!) and are sources of gunpowder. They can also become more highly charged, and therefore make bigger explosions, if struck by lightning. Cool again.
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.
You can find the other blocks here:
When all the blocks are stitched, we’ll finish things up with Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—Joining and Edging.
