Nine blocks finished in the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan! And only three to go! How’s your blanket looking? As I mentioned in Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—Snow Golem Pumpkin Head Block, this Ghast block is the second hardest in the blanket. It has quite a few color changes that will keep you on your toes.

Minecraft Ghasts are hostile mobs that look kind of like tentacled ghosts. They float around the Nether (a fiery underworld-type dimension) with their eyes and mouth shut. When a Ghast comes within firing range of a player, it opens its eyes and mouth, screeches, and shoots fireballs every 3 seconds.

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:

• Steve
• Creeper
• Enderman
• Pig
• Cow
• Skeleton
• Zombie
• Villager
• Snow Golem
• Spider
• Iron Golem

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