I made two, one for each of my minecraft obssesed kids. As you can see by the picture, they loved them.

I had a little trouble with the head square and ended up working as follows
1) as written
2) as written
3) sc 3X, 3sc in corner; repeat from around (24 sts)
4) sc 5X, 3dc in corner; repeat from around (32 sts)
5)-12) as written

Worked the rest as written. Used black felt for face and stitched it on. I skipped the plastic canvas.

Thank you for this pattern!
