Minecraft Mini Cross Stitch Block Pattern Series: Part 1 – Axolotl

While making my Minecraft block cross stitch patterns I had the idea to also turn these cross stitch blocks into 3D cubes like my Minecraft crochet corner to corner 3D blocks. The first of these I have completed is definitely one of my favourites – a Minecraft Axolotl block.

Keep an eye out for more Minecraft cross stitch cubes over the next few weeks.

• When cross stitching the cube sides, make sure to leave at least a 4cm gap between each of the sides for cutting out later on.

• Once you have completed your 6 cube sides, cut out the cubes leaving a 2cm gap around the edge of the sides.
• Take 2 of the sides and sew to join using 2 strands of light pink embroidery thread and by completing a whip stitch into each of the backstitches down the side edges of the two sides.

• Complete with the remaining sides leaving one side unsewn, place in your stuffing and finish closing the gap. If you want to use a solid piece of foam instead of stuffing insert the foam before joining the last side piece.
