Christmas is drawing near and I have decided that I like making things for people, instead of buying them. Usually it is cheaper to just buy the yarn to make a winter set or quality dishcloths. I mean, the average cost of a scarf and hat set is at least $12, for a decent one. However, you can garuntee that someone else will have that same exact set. When it comes to a teenager, who likes to stand out, at school, making something, is the best way to go. Especially, when I can get a pound of yarn for $7 at the craft store and make three hat and scarf sets.
My brother-in-law, who is a teen loves minecraft. He plays it all the time. It is kind of like a computer lego simulation. So, I decided that I would make a "Creeper Scarf" for him. Now, before you say anything, the Creeper is one of the 'bad guys' on Minecraft. They are green and pop out of nowhere, while you are trying to build your home and take care of the sheep that randomly spawn in your house.
Here is a picture of the scarf:
I borrowed the pattern from
Ravelry.
Pattern by April Garcia. This pattern, and the items made from this pattern, are intended for personal use only as the Creeper image is a copyright of Mojang. I did add more rows than what the pattern called for.
I am trying to come up with a nice pattern, for a hat that matches the scarf but using only the colors. I am not sure that he would want a "Creeper Hat" and the ones I have seen have not been done well.
