A whole village, stitched into your socks. Tiny houses, villagers, fences and fields of beetroot, carrots, and potatoes. Wheat stacked high, sheep and chickens wandering about — and, of course, a dirt block for the toe.
Every classic element of the game we love, reimagined in yarn. Just like in the world of pixels, this pattern is free — because creativity should be shared.

Whether you start at the cuff or the toe, the path is yours to choose. Build, explore, and wear your adventure one round at a time.

The colorwork charts use mostly two colors per round, keeping things simple and meditative. A few areas use three or four colors, but you can easily duplicate stitch those parts afterward if you prefer.
