Minecraft Pig, Sheep and Cow Pattern

 Wanna see more of my creations? Why not follow my facebook page?

First off, I want to pass on credit for this pattern. If Nerdigurumi hadn't uploaded this Creeper pattern then I wouldn't know how to make passable cubes. She has a fantastic site full of free patterns, and if you don't know about it, then where have you been?

Any way, this pattern came about after making a Creeper for my friend Alex, who then asked me to make the animals as well. It took some trials, but I'm proud of the result. Particually the sheep. He is my favourite.

Pattern is untested, any queries just message me and I'll try to explain/fix it.

You will need - Yarn in pink, white, tan, brown, and black
                       - Appropriate hook for your yarn to get tight fabric ( I used 8ply and 3.25mm)
                       - Plastic canvas
                       - Stuffing
                       - felt in pink, tan, white, black, light grey and dark grey
                       - small item to weight down toy (I used curtain weights)
                       - craft/ hot glue
                       - embroidery needle.
                       - fabric paint

Cheat Sheet

Ch – Chain

Sc – single crochet

Dc - Double Crochet
Tc - Triple Crochet

FO – Finish off

FLO - Front Loops Only - crochet into the front loops of stitch

BLO – Back Loops Only – crochet into the back loops of stitch

Dec – decrease by putting hook into front loop of two stitches to be brought together, yarn over and bring through all 3 loops on hook. Also known as an “invisible decrease.”

MR6  - Magic Ring plus starting number of stitches. If you don’t know how to do a Magic Ring, I suggest you Google/ YouTube it.

Rounds are joined at the end of each round.

Sew legs to underside of body. Cut a large square of pink felt for the underside, small squares of felt out for the nose and eyes, and a small triangle shape for the ears.  Look at reference pictures online for a better idea. For the horns, I took a rectangle of felt and rolled it up.

The patches of white were dabbed on with white fabric paint and a brush to give it that pixelated look. The patches appear on the same place with all cows, if you want to be accurate, or you can wing it :D

Good Luck!
