This pattern recreates the Minecraft Skin of Yogscast member Nilesy. You can find this magnificent mother hubbard here: https://www.youtube.com/user/nilesyrocks

Needles: Set of 5 US #2.5/3mm dpns

Yarn: 25-50g light worsted weight / 8 ply yarn in each of the following colours- light pink, mustard yellow, light brown.
Small amounts of light worsted weight/ 8 ply yarn in each of the following colours- blue, light grey, dark grey, green, dark brown, white, black.
A thick, black yarn for the hair. I used Moda Vera ‘Gypsy’, which is essentially thin strips of polyester cloth. If you’re unable to get this, any heavyweight yarn (or even a black t-shirt, cut into strips) will work just as well.

Gauge: 28sts/40 rows = 4 inches
