Crochet Minecraft Creeper Hat
My kids love Minecraft, and so when I offered to crochet them a Minecraft hat, they were thrilled. This creeper hat is really pretty easy to make, and you could whip one up in about a hour.
I made a kids version and an adult version. The adult version is slightly larger, and the creeper pattern has been slightly enlarged.
These hats fit my 6 year old kids and myself and my husband, so the sizing is pretty versatile.
