Okay, I’m not going to lie. This Minecraft C2C Crochet Snow Golem Pumpkin Head Block is probably the hardest block on this afghan. Or at least the most time-intensive one. The Ghast ranks second. And, I know it’s hard to see, but there is both brown and black on the eyes and mouth. You’ll see it better on the chart.
Okay, again. Why is a block that looks remarkably like a jack-o’-lantern called a Snow Golem? Golems are beings made from stone, clay, and other substances, then brought to life. In Minecraft there are two kinds of golems: Iron Golems and Snow Golems. A Snow Golem is brought to life when a carved pumpkin is placed on top of two blocks of snow. Snow Golems help protect the player from hostile mobs.
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.
