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.
i don’t know why but my sackboy just can’t stand straight :<
sounds like it has to do with where you are placing the legs
can you please make Gaara (from Naruto) tutorial videos? it would be great and am very grateful all of your projects… thanks to you, now i can crochet and of course make some dolls for myself :”>
thank you so much for this pattern.
your instructions are so very clear and you’ve really inspired me to design my own dolls.
keep up the good work
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?
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
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)
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
hope that helps!
Mine turned out really round on top and really small what could I have done wrong please tell me so I can fix it
Thanks for sharing all of your little characters with us. Know my grandsons will love some of them.
The first Part isn’t aviable in Germany, because of the Music

Can u make a tutorial on a girl?
I have right here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7LOcuqRCOM
I need help I’m just starting and it keeps ending up weird can you help me
What do you need help with?
It keeps trying to curl up and it looks nothing like the one in your video
The edges are curling
Never mind I got it but is it supposed to be curving upward
On the eyes can you put them on before you stuff the head and start the body
You can if you use safety eyes instead of buttons.
What would I have to do in order to make the body just a bit bigger
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.
Width wise
Can you make a video on how to do other characters from full metal alchemist especially alphonse
I can try when I get my camera
How did you do Edwards clothes from the neck to the jacket
The Edward elric sackboy
Mine is turning out really small and round on top of the head is it supposed to be like this
What video did you show how to change colors
when crocheting sackboy
How do I change colors around the neck
How did you do Edward elric red jacket
On step 21 is that 1sc or 2sc
If it doesn’t say how many rows does that make it one row
Yes
Thank you and I don’t think mine turned out right its really small and the head is really round on top
How did you do the emblem on the back of Edward elrics jacket
On step 21 can it be in the back loops all the way around if you turn it while you work
Also on step 21 is it 1sc or 2sc
Yes
On step 21 is it 1 sc or 2sc
1sc.
Is the pattern like this 1sc, 2sc, 1sc, etc
Yes, when it says to repeat it that is what I meant.
I am trying another pattern and I’m stuck. I was wondering if you could help me, please. The pattern says to work 4sc into a magic circle, can you please tell me how I am supposed to do this?
I have a video on how to do this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3-JpqvgMXo&list=PL7E4C61559BB5D88B
Thank you. Now how would you do ears for the sackboy
on the sackboy design how would you make a mouth that opens and closes
I want to wait until I get a decent camera before I show how to do that. I want to make a proper video tutorial on it
okay i can wait
Thanks for being patient
