For anyone that is interested and is having a hard time with the arms: I found a bit of an easier way for beginners. I made the arms separate from the body because it made it much easier to make them and then sew them on with yarn. Also I kept finding that my arms were oddly shaped so here is the pattern I used that made it more proportional: CH 2 SC 6 around SC twice in each stitch Crochet in back loops for 6 then front for 6 1 SC in each x 5 rounds Continue with normal pattern.

Maybe I'm not that smart.. But I don't understand the arm part.

U have a future. U have talent, u should embrace it. This is the best sackboy I have seen. The hands are more like mittens though. But really good.

I remember back in 2011 I watched this video religiously and made dolls for myself. Thank you so much for all of your work!

This is probably the coolest tutorial ever! Thank you so much for doing it!! I'm new to crochet, but I definitely plan on making a Sackboy :) GREAT WORK!

Ill bet anything. if sackboy came to life, he would be VERY happy to have been made by hands as creative as yours. with these tutorials, i just cant wait to try!

Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this tutorial. I was inspired to learn to crochet from your Altair doll linked from Kotaku. This sackboy was the first thing I've ever crocheted and I think it turned out really well thanks to your good instructions. Thanks again!!

I made one of these but used your Link pattern. It was really easy to follow and it turned out better than I thought I was going to do! Keep up the awesome work!

Such a beautiful sack boy! I can hardly wait to make my own! Great tutorials!

First off your videos are well done and your sackboys are so detailed! ^_^ I've been crocheting amigurumi for a while and something that helps when you're closing up a shape is to do a running stitch through the last 6 stitches, pull tight, then tie it off and hid the tail of the string. It makes the bottom really secure and close tighter so you can hardly tell! Hope this helps. ^_^

I am so grateful for these videos, thank you very much! The music you have put with it makes it such a relaxing experience :)

This is awesome!

Thank you so much for this! I was getting so confused no matter how many times I watched that part over and over.

Thanks so much :D I learned it from my mom who learned it from a friend of hers. I started when I was in elementary school. Actually, I learned how to knit first and then I got more interested in crocheting. My sister is more into knitting than I am. I'm actually thinking of creating some knitting tutorials...I'm not sure yet. I only know how to make scarves..lol. Cool, your mom should make YT tutorials :)

I crocheted this for my brother. Although at first I did the things in the reversal of the obvious( I picked up puffy yarn, though the size of the doll became bigger and now its teddy-bear-like) my brother is happy:)

If I created this sac boy, I would not be as good as you! Great job!

without a doubt the best homemade sackboy on here. Some don't look quite right. Your one looks perfect. :)

I'd like to thank you very much for this tutorial. I've made my first sack boy, and he's looking fantastic, especially for my first one. The only real problem I had (apart from using too small of yarn, which lead to making a really small but cute sackboy) were the fingers. Your video on that was helpful but I still had to improvise, meaning my sackboy only has three fingers (mostly it was my fault because of the thin yarn). All in all, great tutorial, I'll use it again to make a bigger one.

This great nice calm slow no crazy music. Thank you so much!

you are so clever! you are better at making them then the ones you buy from stores

This is the best sackboy on youtube :D

Omg. I never comment on videos but I just had to for this one. YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you so much!

Wow you are amazing at crocheting. Thumbs Up!

you are very good at this , It is very cool

When she says,"turn your work around and o what you did in the first row", which first row is she referring to? Is she just saying to make 1 single crochet in every stitch for 13 rows?

wow. you are a reely good sewer and dool maker. if i had to have anyone to make anything made of yarn for me i would pick you over my own grandma. :)

You are amazing at making that!!!!

AWW how cute! Me and my mum watched it and REALLY enjoyed it Though i wish my mum could Crochet as good as you thanx

Thanks so much i love my sack boy!!

Sackboy is adorable! I wish I could crochet.

your really good you deserve a reward:)

@Reebol At which time is this at?

This is so cute!! I live little big planet and I cant wait for LPB 2 :D

This is pretty amazing.

That looks so legit. o: I believe I'm going to go and learn croshay now.

I made it to :) From your video its amazingg!! thank you :)

thanks so much for this tutorial my sackboy came out great!

Hi, I'm very confused on step 14 of the written tutorial and video. When you say chain 1 and then turn the work around, repeat what was done in the first row, what do you mean by that? I have done the: 2 sc in each sc for a row, then 1 sc in each sc for a row. So should I then do: 2 sc in each sc for a row, then 1 sc in each sc for a row, chain 1 and then turn the work around, repeating the steps of: 2 sc in each sc for a row, then 1 sc in sc for a row, chain 1 then turn the work around, until I have 13 rows. OR Should I then do: 1 sc in each sc for a row, chain 1 then turn the work around, repeating the steps of: 1 sc in each sc for a row, chain 1 then turn the work around, until I have 13 rows. Thank you

Amazing tutorial! Thanks so much!

Wow this is really good. You are an artist! I'm a big fan of little big planet and the sackboy character. I just wish I could make this as good as you :-( Keep up the good work!

well done ,amazing job !!!!

Thanks your videos are very useful

your so talented

omg i totally want one. u make the best sackboys. i always see these really poorly put together ones but urs are the cutest. if u made me one i would pay u for it :)

WOAH girrl, you are very amazing... that video need to be subscribe !!!

Hi when doing the sackboy fingers do you go down a hook size? If so what size hook did you use? Thanx

this is so awsome because its ur toy u CREATED

how do you make the body do you do 2c the whole time?.............i got lost and mines look messed plz let me know right away and can you make a video plz on how to add hair

@GoldenJellyBean what chain do you use to make the neck?

at first i was like "oh yeah gonna make myself a sackboy" watched this then i was like "never mind"

@randompocketsand I don't actually know. I haven't really incorporated them into the design of the doll. If you have a string long enough, you can take a needle and take it to the top of the head and make a loop for the key chain ring.

So cute!!

I was starting to make this and then I realized I was running out of brown yarn, so I was like crap it's just going to be green because this time I'm going to actually finish something I've started!!! :D Great video, I've subsribed!! :D

is picking up stitches and continue crocheting the same as starting a limb from a slip stitch then sewing on?

for starting the arm, i'm unclear about the first line of stitches, when you go around, to make the circle do you stitch on two rows or do you make the circle just from one row. hope that made some sense, help is greatly appreciated

Hey, I have a question about crocheting the arms. At 5:45, when you say to crochet and repeat for 2 rows, do you mean sc one in each stitch or 2 sc in each stitch, like how you were doing in the row before.

do you stuff the body with filling as well or would u not bother, and alos what bout stuffing the arms and legs! thanks XXX

hello. i have a question. i make a sackboy but without a ziper. must i do the filling in the belly or still not?

jelly i need help arond the arms when u say pick up 6 sc do u mean in a line or in a crcl

Are these for sale? I'm interested and can't make it

Can I have the one that you made 32 speedwell lane PLM MASS

I'm glad you found this useful ^_^

I will follow the steps today and my mum will do it to me :))))

@randompocketsand For the other strings you could tie them together and cut the the excess so that you won't see them as much when you open the zipper.

Wooow , this is awesome , i vant this 😊

How did you keep the eyes secure after sewing them? Did you tie a knot or something vefore hiding it inside?

hvere didt u buy the garn and the eyese :)

It's so cute I want one :D

Awsome! Nice Sackboy! (y) ..and video too. ^^

im having a hard time getting the arm right. once i get to doing the first single stitch for the 3 rows, after doing the back loop, front loop part, the arm is getting really wide and it doesn't look right. could you tell me what im possibly doing wrong?

Could you please put these up for sale on eBay or another site?

Mine keeps wanting to spiral. Is that normal? And how do you make really tiny fingers? Mine only need to be about two stitch widths, but it is way too small to see what I am doing. I just made the hands like mittens then defined them later with a darker thread.

where did you buy the button eyes?

Please respond :) Im confused about the part where you begin crocheting the arm; when you say 6sc in the front loops, are you reffering to the inner loops or the outer loops? Likewise with the next 6sc. Thanks.

cool love it may get my granny to try and make me a sackboy

Ich liebe es. Dass ist echt toll ich werde auch ein sackboy trial machen. Weil du hast mich inspiriert das ist toll große klasse das ist toll große klasse.

No problem!! I hope it helped!! :)

How could you not like this vid ppl

hi umm what do you mean by do what you do on the first row? i dont get that part.. plx help!

On the arm part where you are just stitching through one loop are you putting two single stitches through each stich or just one?

learn watching your sackboy tutorial last year i make my first sackboy it was cool. now am trying to do my 2 sackboy but am doing something wrong the head is bigger than your and when i am on the decreasing row is to big so i have to do like 8 or 9 row to see the shape of the neck HELP PPLSS

@fashionpuppe I don't know what's wrong with it but I just tried it and it played for me. You could try again, maybe it's a KZfaq thing. KZfaq has always been a bit glitchy.

Um, at 2:19 you say ch 2 and do a slip stitch to continue the body then 2 ch together until you reach the marker but you do not have one and I took mines out too so I am confused. Is that the beginning of the round where the chain and zipper are.

Would you be up to sell these and in your description you want donations

Which part is spiraling? I'm going to try to make an updated video for making the sackboy hands. The hands are kinda like tiny gloves.

@viper2426 Which part are you confused about?

how long did it take to make it

amazing!

Next level.. 📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📂📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁📁

Do you stuff the body also???

It looks soo much better than the ones you buy that are soo expensive! We 14 year olds have only enough allowance you know!

@Zacharuni for the top of the head, you'd have to keep increasing until the desired size, maybe double the amount of rows if you wanted it twice as big..trial and error :) a larger hook and thicker yarn would help

if you want to add a mouth how do you do it?

ITS AWSOME

i had an wasome idea!!! im gonna make a sackboy out of rainbow yarn!, and he will be colorful!!

That's cool, you should show a video on your completed sackboy when you're done :) I'd love to see it ^_^

Can i buy one of thoose from you?

Hi, I tried replaying the video a bunch but im still not sure what you mean by backloops for the top half and the frontloops for the bottom half. Is this the same as the inner loops for the top half and outsideloops for the bottom half (where outside and inner refer to the circle)? And is it just those two rows where you stitch into a single loop or do you continue this for the whole arm? Thanks for making these videos =)

Wow!, I do apologize on this one, this is gonna ba a really late reply, but better late than never, right? :). It's great that you learned from your mom! I'm sure she was the best teacher for you :) You've really been crocheting for a long time then, no wonder you're so skillful ^_^ I would love to watch your knitting tutorials too, even if you can only do scarves haha, don't worry about that. I don't know, my mom does crochet really, really good, but she doesn't like computers at all...lol.
