Block #11 is the Minecraft C2C Crochet Spider. Ugh. I am not a fan of spiders, but they do seem to show up in a lot of stories, usually as huge, terrifying monsters. They make really good monsters! Think the spiders of Mirkwood in The Hobbit. Or Shelob in The Lord of the Rings. Or Aragog and all his offspring in the Harry Potter books. So many big, ugly, frightening spiders!
Minecraft Spiders are actually neutral mobs and in well-lit areas will not attack the player unless provoked. Spiders do become hostile at night or in low-light areas such as caves.
Spiders have several advantages. They tend to be faster than most other mobs, they jump into their attacks, and they can climb walls. They can also crawl through cobwebs and have multiple eerie glowing eyes. Fortunately, if you have a sword or bow and arrow Spiders are not difficult to kill and don’t inflict as much damage in their hostile state as other hostile mobs.. Just don’t let them surprise you from above!
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.
