Crochet Minecraft Creeper
I made this crochet Minecraft creeper for my kids' birthday this year - along with a ghast and a couple of TNT blocks. They are really into Minecraft and also into stuffies, so it seemed like a natural choice.
This creeper is super cute when he's finished, and he's soft and huggable.
You can make your creeper with any worsted weight green yarn and a bit of black yarn for the face.
Crochet Minecraft Creeper Pattern
Here is the Minecraft creeper crochet pattern.
Gauge for this project is not important.
Materials
- 3.75 mm crochet hook
- 2 balls of Cascade 220 Superwash yarn (2 x 219 yarns) or other light worsted weight yarn in green
- scrap of light worsted weight yarn in black
I used light worsted weight yarn and a 3.75 mm hook. You can go smaller or larger, and you will get a slightly smaller or larger stuffy.

Finishing
Holding two sides together, and SC along the edge, joining the 2 pieces..
Repeat for all 4 rectangular sides to create a rectangular prism. Attach top and bottom by holding each side together with one side of the rectangle body and SC around.
Stuff with polyester filling before SC-ing the final edge closed.
Note: you want your SC “seams” to be on the outside of the creeper. This gives it a more “blocky” shape, making it more like an actual Minecraft creeper.
