With all your Minecraft character blocks finished, it’s time for Minecraft world to take shape. I love the whole process of creating an afghan—from designing, to buying yarn, to crocheting. But there’s something super exciting about this final step. Seeing all the blocks come together and finally be something useful is amazing. Let’s get this blanket together and make a Minecraft lover happy today!

Remember that you should have already edged each block with a row of single crochet. If you have not done this, do it now. The single crochet row makes it easier to match up stitches and sew the blocks together. The single crochet row should be done in the FOREST GREEN for each block in this Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan. And if you’re just getting started, click on over to the introductory post for the materials and a list of all the blocks.

Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan Layout

Begin by laying your blocks out in whatever order you wish. Make sure all of your blocks are right side up. It’s true that the blocks are reversible, however, the direction that the stitches lie is different on the front and the back. For a cohesive look make sure all of your blocks face the same direction.

If you want your blanket to look like the sample I’ve stitched, lay them out in this order (left to right):

Row 1: Steve, Creeper, Enderman

Row 2: Pig, Cow, Skeleton

Row 3: Zombie, Villager, Snow Golem

Row 4: Ghast, Spider, Iron Golem

Stitching the Minecraft Afghan together

You may join your blocks together by whatever method you prefer. I have used either a basic whip stitch or a flat slip stitch join. For this afghan, I used the flat slip stitch join. You can find a tutorial here. Join the blocks into rows first.

They should look like this.

So, so fun! Once the rows are joined, sew the rows together.

Now for the border! One of my favorite stitches for borders is the moss stitch. I especially like doing two rows of a color. It makes each color look like the teeth of a zipper. In fact, my son calls it the zipper stitch. For moss stitch instructions, see How to Crochet Moss Stitch.

When crocheting the Moss Stitch, I increase my crochet hook one size. For this afghan, I used a size I hook.

Work the following Moss Stitch Rows:

• 1 row FOREST as a foundation row
• 2 rows TRUE GRAY
• 2 rows CHOCOLATE
• 2 rows DEEP FOREST

And that’s it! Here you can see the completed afghan.

Finished Size: 43 inches by 56 inches

And here are a couple of my nephews who are Minecraft fanatics. They were pretty happy when I gave this Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan to their family.
