The final block in row #2 and the 6th in the Minecraft C2C Crochet Afghan—12 Block Crochet Along, is the Skeleton. Just like the Creeper, the Minecraft Skeleton is a hostile mob (mobile entity). They chase players and shoot arrows when close enough and in a direct line of sight. Both Zombies and Skeletons are spawned in darkness and can’t go in the sunlight. They burn if they do! Skeletons drop bones and/or arrows from time to time. The bones can be used for bone meal to grow crops or can be given to wolves to help tame them.
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.

I love this pattern! My daughter dose too. This is my first time doing C2C stitch and my first project I am self taught during lockdown. I hope I’ve done justice to your pattern.I can’t get the photo to load but it looks kinda like yours
Congratulations! The first time is definitely a learning process, but it definitely opens up all kinds of fun patterns. I’d love to see your finished afghan. You could email the photo to lucinda@swishandstitch.com.
