In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a hay bale, place 9 wheat in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a hay bale, it is important that the wheat are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 3 wheat in the first row, 3 wheat in the second row, and 3 wheat in the third row. This should fill all of the boxes in the crafting grid. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a hay bale.
