Next, stand in front of your crafting table.

The game control to open your crafting table depends on the version of Minecraft:

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make an iron hoe, place 2 iron ingots and 2 sticks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making an iron hoe, it is important that the iron ingots and sticks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 iron ingots placed in the first row (the last box in the row should be left empty). In the second row, 1 stick should be in the middle box. In the third row, 1 stick should be in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for an iron hoe.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the iron hoe will appear in the box to the right.
