So, hubby has a new mobile for work, but wanted something to keep it from getting scratched in his pocket.
He is a fan of Minecraft so I thought I would try to make a creeper style cover.
This started with a trip to buy some yarn. I wanted something that wasn't just one shade of green to try to emulate the pixelated effect - this was much harder than anticipated, so I settled for the best I could find.
I couldn't see that there was a pattern for this, so made it up as I went.
The cover is made as one rectangle of single crochet. Mine was 27 stitches across and i just kept going until it was tall enough.
One it was done, I used black yarn to sew around the stitches to form the creeper face.
All that was left then, was for the cover to be sewn up et voila:
Not bad for an afternoon's work and Hubby was pretty pleased with the end result.
