My giant Minecraft-inspired crochet Creeper project gave me some more ideas. Here are a few from my studio “vault.”
In the first three photos (top row), the head is partly assembled. On the far left I see part of a hood. For example, a muffler or wide scarf seamed at a right angle to the scarf sides to create a hooded scarf. In the middle photo I see what a Creeper backpack might look like, and in the rightmost photo, a square bottomed bucket-style tote.
In the bottom left photo, I don’t know what YOU see but I see an ipad/laptop sleeve. I threw in the next photo so you could see what the individual pieces look like before seaming. They could be joined to create lots of useful items. Besides the obvious baby blanket, how about patches on jeans or pockets on sweaters? A bathmat might be just the way to startle awake first thing in the morning.
And finally, there’s the happy recipient in the last photo. He was 13 here. The completed Creeper head could double as a throw pillow, literally. (He threw it around a bit like he would while playing with a cubic ball in Minecraft.)
I love how big and sturdy it came out. Single crochet stitches are so versatile! (Double crochet in the UK and Australia). As with this Creeper crochet toy, it was the perfect stitch for Gallon Friend, a classroom aid for my son’s third grade teacher.
Hello! I love this and I want to make the exact same thing for my son! He requested I make him a creeper, but I am new to crochet and I wouldn’t know where to start. This is exactly what I was picturing making for him. If you write a pattern or at least some sort of intrusions or explanation of how to make this I will pay for that!
Hi Sasha, I replied to your question in Flickr but I don’t know if Flickr alerted you. I appreciate that. I learned while making it that I went about it the hard way! I’d need to design another one completely from scratch and then write up that one. Writing a pattern for it is not on my horizon, unfortunately.
