Notes

I’m using this basic pattern to design a throw that looks like a Minecraft creeper. (Don’t ask me! It’s a robot thing my nephew is into.) All the different shaded green squares are supposed to look like pixels.

For each square: ch14. Follow instructions for 9 rows. Each square is approximately 4” X 4”.

The pattern itself is easy and fun to do, but I am beginning to hate making all these squares! -- Not sure how many I have now, but I know I need to do another skein’s worth. THEN, I am facing stitching them all together…..ugh! Hopefully, it won’t be too difficult……to be continued……

9/11/12 I’m finally stitching the squares together. Not as bad as I thought it would be…..Definitely going to take some time. Using the directions from “Invisible Seams” tutorial and it’s working out great. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/invisible-seam---...

9/17/12 - Whew! Finally finished. Happy with the final product. It will be a longg time before I do that much piecing again! I decided to put a black band around the edge to make it look more finished. I did a simple sc around and then dc around. Just enough of an edge without distracting from the main pattern.

The final piece is 56” X 64” with 11 squares by 12 squares.

Can’t wait to see what my nephew thinks!
