PATTERN:
KEY: sc = single crochet
1. Create a magic circle
2. Then create 6 sc in the ring. Then make a slip stitch with the very first stitch you created.
3. 2sc in each sc.
4. 1sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
5. 2sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
6. 3sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
7. 4sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
8. 5sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
9. 6sc, 2sc in sc (repeat until marker)
10. 1sc only in back loops (Do this for two rows)
11. 1sc in each sc (Do this for 10 rows)
12. 1sc in the next 2sc; Crochet two sc together (repeat for 5+ rows or until the hole is small enough; it cant be too small or the head will bobble too much.)
13. 2sc in each sc. (For one row)
14. 1sc in each sc; when you reach the marker, chain 1 and turn your work around. (Do this for 13 rows)
15. Sew the zipper on.
16. Continue crocheting where you left off from step 14. Chain two and then slip stitch on to the next stitch to bridge the gap.
17. For this row, crochet only in the back loops. Crochet two sc together.
18. Then for the rows after that, crochet two sc together until the hole is closed. If there is still a gap left, sew it closed.
19. Pick up 6 stitches where the arm should be. Make sure that you are crocheting from the outside and not from the inside (this would be more difficult to do)
20. 2sc in each sc all the way around. You should be left with 12 stitches in the end.
21. Determine where the top part of the arm hole is from the bottom. Crochet in the back loops for the top 6 stitches. Crochet in the front loops for the bottom 6 stitches. (Repeat for two rows)
22. 1sc in each sc. (For 3 rows)
23. 1sc then 2sc in each sc.
24. 1sc in each sc
25. Then make the fingers. Subdivide the opening to create four fingers (small cylindrical pillars). Pick up a few stitches for the thumb.
26. Pick up 7 stitches in the places you want the feet to be.
27. 2sc in each sc.
28. 1sc in each sc for 8 rows
29. For this row, crochet in back loops only. Crochet two stitches together. Do this for both legs.
30. Then crochet 2 sc together to decrease the size of the hole so you can close it up.
31. Put in the eyes.
32. Hide all the strings. You can do this by inserting them all into the body of the sackboy.

The head I made has turned out really flat on top, and then REALLY wide, and short. I followed the pattern to a T, so what could have happened? If I keep closing the head up its gonna be really short, (about half the length yours appears) but if I add more rows for length the head is gonna be disproportionate to the rest of the body. What should I do?
LikeLike
Flatness: possibly havent stuffed him enough? it is a flat pattern untill you start doing isc all the way around, the stuffing makes it rounder 🙂
depending on the yarn and hook size you are using it will come out differently than shown, i use 8ply with a 4.0mm hook, GJB uses a 3.75mm hook 🙂 it will look short and wide untill you stuff it, stuffing makes everything better haha. if you still think he looks too short and wide, add a row or two, dont worry about trying to even out the pattern if it doesnt look too different. if you want you can just add however many rows you added to the head to the torso and arms and legs (i tend to make my legs a bit longer anyway)
hope that helps!

You can do (1sc in the next 2sc; Crochet two sc together) until you have 12 or 13 stitches left. Then you can make the rest of he body from there. I usually leave 11 stitches for the body. So to make the body wider you can have around 12 or 13.

Hello! I was able to follow your pattern really well so far (just need to finish the legs) but I do have one question how big is your sackboy because looking at your video your sackboy seems a lot bigger than mine and I used a 3.75 mm hook and worsted weight yarn like your pattern says 😮 How tall is your sack boy and how wide is his head?

Hi there!
This is a very great pattern and the puppet turns out so cute! I’m sure to make the Ezio Sackboy next. 🙂
However, I do have one small edit to your pattern:
14. 1sc in each sc; when you reach the marker, *2 sc in the last sc*, chain 1 and turn your work around. (Do this for 13 rows)
If you use this adaptation, you’ll get a nice straight edge for your zipper to sit next to, in stead of the staircase pattern you’ll get if you just chain 1. 🙂
Thanks a bunch!

Hello Goldenjellybean

Would you allow me to publish a french version of your pattern on my blog (with a few modifications of my own) ? I would, of course, name you as the original designer with a link to your blog.
