My Minecraft Obsession has come to an end….now we need to talk about finishing. The options are endless. I found a great blog post on Getting It All Together by Moogly. She shares 12 different ways to get those squares all attached and into one big afghan.
I went around each square with black using a single crochet border and then used the same black yarn to whip stitch them all together. The border and seam being the same color really gives it a nice finished look.
Of course before finishing it up I did graph out a name to use as a banner for the top of my afghan, to give it that extra something.
Here is a little extra something that you can add to your finished afghan! Minecraft Banner (This one is perfect for those of you who are still doing the graphs in single crochet, the design has more detail)
Update…Here is one that can be used for those of you who have done the CAL in c2c Mini Minecraft Banner by Crafty Ridge (you do lose some of the detail but it still looks great)
If you are still in need of all the patterns for the 12 squares of My Minecraft Obsession scroll to the top of the page and put Minecraft in the Search bar or click here!
Don’t forget to share your finished work with me over on Facebook or Instagram! I’d love to see your finished afghans.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I just finished this for my son and it’s amazing. I didn’t even know how to tapestry crochet before this so thanks for the new skill! I wish I could show you a picture but don’t know how to load one here. We made 2 changes, he wanted a diamond sword so we changed the coloring and he wanted a Blaze instead of a sheep so I followed your creeper pattern and made a blaze. Thank you thank you thank you, this is by far the most awesome thing I’ve ever made…besides my kids LOL

This one I did in sc. However, I also created the “mini” graphs for those who wanted to make it in c2c. You can see all of the individual posts for the FREE graph patterns

Thank you so much for your excellent design. Just finished the afghan for my 6 year old grandson, who is the spitting image of your model (red hair and all). Must say design was easy, however, border was a bit trying (with about 35 balls of yarn hanging at a time) 🙂 Thanks again

What is the finished size of this blanket? It is sooooo cool!

It really depends on what hook you use and your tension. I believe my squares were about 15″ each so about 45″ wide plus a bit more for the trim and borders. Length was a bit over 70″ I think. You can adjust it depending on your gauge though.

My squares look more like rectangles. What can I do? What it’s wrong? I used sc, should I used sc?
Thanks for the pattern

That’s all about tension. Maybe do a swatch. If it’s longer than it is taller maybe you could do 2 rows for every row in the graph.

What did you do for the back of this blanket? Did you carry your yarn or not?
LikeLike
It is a mirror of the front. I don’t carry my yarn much I use yarn bobbins for most of it and drop the color I’m done with to the back. I hope this makes sense. I know that there are lots of videos on YouTube. Search crochet graph with bobbins. Mikey at The Crochet Crowd is great to learn with.

Hey there! I know this post is older but hoping for some advice! I’m an avid crocheter and love making silly hats and amigurumi but I haven’t done a graphgan before OR had to join squares for a blanket. My squares are coming out BEAUTIFULLY (thank you again for the graphs) and I’m nearing the time to join them all. What technique did you use to attach all of your squares? I’m not finding a method I like that looks very clean so far where the blanket will still lay flat. Thank you!

I used a whipstitch in the same color as the border. Hope this helps.
