Steve

I have four kids, ranging in ages from 3 to 18, they all love Minecraft but especially my eldest daughter who would happily spend her days running from Endermen and building fountains, houses and gates...I hold high hopes for her future career as an architect. She wants a Minecraft themed birthday party next month and although I saw a few patterns for Creepers, no one has made a Steve doll, until now:

Knit in one piece, from the feet up. Doll stands at approx 7"

Here's how to do it:

I used 3.75 mm needles and standard DK wool
