Make Your Own Sackboy [Part 1]

[@FourDozenEggs]

Man, KZbin 6 years ago. Back when things were simple. The amount of nostalgia that can hit you when you click on an old video that you watched when you were little can be off the charts.

Your creation is alive.

[@Atomic4Peace]

I remember the day I showed this to my mom when I was a kid, back when I was really into LBP i wanted my mom to make me a sackboy. She did follow your instructions but in the end it ended looking like if Sackboy got leaned and starved to death lol. But I loved her for making it for me and for trying, thanks for making this for me and my mom to bond over together lol thanks for the memories! :)

[@GoldenJellyBean]

Awww, I'm glad I helped you guys. Thanks so much for commenting. I wish I still did KZbin but now I'm trying to revive my website. I may make videos again when my kids are a little older.

[@DestinedDeath416]

You made my childhood. I remember when i was ten id sit in my room with yarn everywhere trying to crochet sackboys ❤ you're truly timeless and precious to me

[@Rossy__]

A note to those who have questions about increasing and decreasing: "2sc in each sc" simply means to make two single crochets in the next stitch. Make your first sc, then instead of making your next sc in the next stitch, make it in the same stitch you made your previous sc. "1sc in the next 2sc" means a sc decrease. Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook. Hope this helps!

[@neonstrength1]

Wow I just had the urge to make a Sackboy thank you for this

[@GoldenJellyBean]

You're welcome!

@@GoldenJellyBean hello from the future

[@matthewtb4340]

Man it’s 2020 and I remember seeing this 4 years ago, how times have changed

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@juankfrank No you don't have to make slip stitch after the 10 rows. So when the pattern asks for "2sc together" you just pull yarn through two stitches and then pull yarn through the three loops on your hook. When you are done decreasing, you should end up with only one stitch.

[@ShortAndSalty]

Hi I know this video is old but I’m commenting to tell you that this pattern has single handedly kept my fuel for crocheting going. I use your pattern so much to make dolls into other characters like your link and ezio, that I’ve memorized the pattern at this point. So thank you so much for sharing your work and being so amazing. :)

[@GoldenJellyBean]

It means so much to me that my patterns help. Keep crocheting ❤

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@Hoshikomai Please view my intro videos first. I show how to do the simpler stitches in those videos. Let me know if you need more help =)

[@FMJ1400]

I watched this soo much as a kid lol, glad its still up! Sends me back

[@GoldenJellyBean]

Aww, thanks so much for this comment! This makes me want to make more dolls. Have a great day!

[@FMJ1400]

@@GoldenJellyBean please do! I'll be sure to watch!

[@sahdeeyah]

After a good 3 weeks, I finally finished! I didn't make fingers though. They were much too frustrating for me! Nubs are good enough :3 Thank you!

[@Rossy__]

What the means is sc for 5 stitches, then sc inc. Sc inc means to sc twice in the same stitch. I refer to the 2sc in 1 as a sc inc because you're increasing your stitch count by squeezing 2 sc's in one stitch each time you sc inc. Hopefully this helps. I'm sure either one of us can help you if you have any more questions.

[@si123603]

i looked it up for you. the brand for the needles you used was chibi, i found the same ones, they're called Tapestry Needles. Darting needles don't bend. :) love your vids, keep it up.

[@emilymeijer3349]

this is from 5 yrs ago! im so happy its still online! im making this for my bf's bday

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@VampArtemis Well, the back stitch would give your work a different look and texture to it. The doll would contain visible lines and it would start to curl inwards just a little because you're only utilizing one loop. But after you stuff it, it should still look like a Sackboy head. It might be a little longer because using only one loop would make your work more flexible.

[@xRainProductionsx]

oh my gosh i just finished the top part of the head and the rest of the head look so easy!!! thanks

[@kevindealba4134]

You are so amazing at that....... I want it because no one can make it as good as you:-)

[@MrJay822]

My first time crocheting, so i'm going to make a small one. I just love sack boy!

[@XChippsssX]

A marker thread o.o why didn't I think of that? YOU, MA'AM, ARE A GENIUS!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial :D

[@FullMetalPiglet]

@yayllow Well, if you increase the size of the head, you just need to increase the diameters of everything else to compensate for it. Also, instead of doing 10 rows for the head you should make it a little longer since the diameter is larger.

[@hallelujah59]

As I know NOTHING about Crocheing (Sry if bad spelled, swe ftw xD) I must say I enjoyed looking and hearing you mumbling about single croches in one stitch ;D

[@skylansspringer]

I think a cool thing about making a sackboy is since he us customizable you don't have to use brown.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

I'm trying to post a video on viewers questions, but I haven't had the chance to record it yet. Please be patient, I'll have it up soon :)

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@sevilyelhsa It's been a long time since I made this video :P The pattern might be more accurate in my other sackboy videos :)

[@rascalnotwascal7737]

I was like 11 or 12 when I first came to this video.. here I am at 24 coming back to learn how to make my girlfriend a sackboy haha 😄

[@SraTacoMal]

Lol, what I need to be doing tonight is to be writing down all of these directions so I can do this in class.

[@sorathepowerful]

he's sooooooo cute!!,so mushy!!,so...I don't know what say more. But, I'm sure,I'll never forget this tutorial!! the cutest sackboy! sorathepowerful

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@Jeffa101 In my L Sackboy video I showed how to do it slower I think. And I believe there is also a Questions from Viewers video that shows how to make the circle. And it doesn't matter which size you start with. Any large size would be fine for beginners.

[@KankriV]

O. M.. G!!!!!!! BEST SACKBOY EVER!!!! I MEAN THIS IS THE FIRST TUTORIAL!!!!!! I mean this is the first episode of your channel I have ever watched and I'm crying! I subbed and liked! Enjoy!!! I love little big planet but I don't have a play station! I can't choose between a play station and a gaming computer! I think the gaming computer is better but I don't get to play little big planet on it sadly but in the future I will get one! Sorry for wasting so much time! Love your channel!!! Bye!

[@deucestrutter1]

This is something I am going to teach my daughter in Home School!!!! Thank you!

[@rominareveco2891]

🙂

[@freyapearlriley2425]

How was it?

[@skoth9500]

Once I learn on how to do croshes I will try to make a sackboy based on his model Yes that mean I will make separate parts and stich them together like in the game but it's gonna be hard on shaping the body parts but I will try my best to make him/her small like in the game(btw in the game covers it shows how big sackboys hight and head width be so yeah until the next 3 to 5 years I will try because I Nevers have time to do it

[@heavymelidth]

Hi, thanks for the video, I have done my sackboy, unless isn't like yours but is really nice, thanks

[@GoldenJellyBean]

You're welcome ^^ Oh, and btw, you can make around two sackboys if you get the 364yds of yarn :)

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@tozza900 Yeah you can if you want ^^ For the crochet hook, you shouldn't use something that is too large for the yarn. There will be holes in the doll.

[@perryclark5222]

you should make a website and sell these. (i want one but i dont like sewing/knitting) there awesome, great job

[@DoctorJ1337]

WHAT? Your a genius! That is the coolest thing!! Have you made a chao from the sonic games? That would be awesome!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@TheSilentPrincess I don't know how to knit dolls. Sorry about that. I'm glad you liked the video =)

[@DestinyMusgrove]

You Are a true talented person... I draw myself :-) u should do more sack boy Giveaways... I'm eager to win. I never won one and i just heard about this little big planet game and i love it

[@JakeLikesJoking]

you make it look so easy, very fluid hand movements, but i cant do any of that myself =(

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@letterbombxxx Pull yarn through the next 2 stitches and then pull yarn through three loops on your hook. That's pretty much what I did to crochet 2 stitches together. This is called decreasing =) I hope this helped.

[@darkplus8928]

Question, can you do a video on how you used your yarn marker to help keep track of your rows?

[@xXPhantasyMoonLiteXx]

whenever i get the money to get all this. I am totally doing this. Thank you for sharing this. :3

[@noahn4336]

Omg thanks. Me and my family were supposed to do a huge art project by starting small and building on it a while back. Nobody did anything and i want to make the sackboy and the pod with the ps3 controller and make moon and earth globes and hang up small light bulbs and stars like in the game.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

Omg, a life size sackboy would be so awesome. I'm totally doing this. Will be updating on facebook about this doll :) Not sure what type of sackboy though, might just be regular for now. Thanks for the idea btw ^_^

u r so awesome..i love lbp and now im gonna make one!!! thanks for the tutorial!!!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@jdmusselman I tried to find a brown color that matched the game character the best. You can use a lighter one if you want. I actually made a lighter brown one and it looks just as cute =)

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@UnhappyRc I did 2 rows where you crochet only in the back loops. Then I did normal single crochets for 10 rows.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@xcookieaddiction Actually I tried to go to the website I used to go to, but I can't find them either. I'll keep you guys posted on that when I find them. Sorry about that. Oh and let me know if you find them before I do =P I got the eyes I was using at a website called the Button Drawer. And the button name was Boise B. When I went back onto the site I couldn't find them :(

[@TheHarveyKids]

Are there any updates on where to buy these buttons?

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@@TheHarveyKids I usually search on Etst. Or go to Joann fabrics.

@GoldenJellyBean Oh ok i will keep supporting you because I think what your doing is really great. You have such a nack for what you do and a true artist you are. Take care and keep in touch Josh

[@Rossy__]

sc = single crochet. It says so in the video description at the beginning of the pattern.

[@roma0o]

WOOWW!THAT's IS AWESOME!!!5 STARS!!

[@TT-mk4xy]

i don't know if this makes sense but is there a way that you could explain what happens when you do an increase, or decrease. In the sense of, what should someone who is attempting to make their own patterns understand about increases and decreases and how they should use them to achieve their desired shape?

[@RainbowBrightFun21]

you should have written instructions as well so just in case someone cant sit at the computer and do the whole thing with you step by step jus a suggestion :) love your work tho im still learning how to reach into my imagination box and make stuff on my own im still using other peoples patterns and inspiration but i hope to get like you some day cause thats awesome

[@m_ie8487]

thank you for making this tutorial and still being active on youtube! i love lbp and sackboy ❤

[@scotty2dadout]

you should make a video explaining how to do all the stitches you do.

[@lisalittle8718]

Can you do a tutorial of a larger size Sackboy? I want to make some for Christmas to give to kids with no Christmas. I can’t follow patterns sadly but can follow video tutorials! Thank you! ❤

[@ilikeferbies]

you did a really nice job!!

[@brivera882]

Awwww sackboy!!!! I love him

[@tamaki2011]

i was just learning how to crochet, (i forget now..-_-,) and i was just making a random thingy-mabob, and it was starting to kind-of buckle inwards, so i filled it with string, i finished it, and i have a ball now!

[@KankriV]

I did everything you said in this video and the 2nd part! I made a pretty cool sackboy! but for some reason he developed this chubby cheek facial feature and I love it nWn also I named him ghost! is it alright if I send a picture to your gmail account to show you what ghost looks like?

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@xWishfirex 1) No it doesn't. 2) Your stitches might be tighter than mine. But what you can do is to count the number of stitches to see if you have the right amount. If you do then you're doing the right thing. 3) It does get a little difficult to create stitches in the first couple of rows. Just create the stitches and then it'll be easier as you go along. I hope this helped :)

[@Plantinus]

Wow this is awesome, you seem good at this whole knitting business.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@mrsmoon711 Your stitches might be too tight. Try to loosen them up and see if you can get the hook through them. Don't pull too hard when you finish a single crochet.

[@BleuTheMilotic]

@TwilightFlip It depends it could take from a hour to days depending on experince time you take for details but if you just one throw a sloppy one together maybe a hour or 3

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@Hoshikomai Try to make the other fingers a little bit smaller so that you can fit all the fingers in.

[@vincienn]

I got inspired by this video :) Thank you for teaching me how too make the SackPerson i'm gonna make loads of this now when i'm bored o3o ( even though this video is old :DD )

[@iSamanthaLee]

This is so easy to follow!! Thanks!

[@coughsnif]

wouldnt it be easier to keep the marker in the stich where the row begins? that way you dont have to move it everytime.

[@MultiThat1dude]

its a good thing my mom loves to knit. so i have most of this. wounder how difficult it will be to make this...oh well i'll try my luck and yes im a guy that knows how to sew a little

Hi! I just love your tutorials, right know i'm starting with a kratos sackboy, but i have a really hard time trying to find a similar yarn to the one you used, maybe you could show how thick it is for us who don't have that brand in our contry (i'm from Peru btw). Thanks!

[@KCtheDragonite]

Hello! I love your videos and I've made multiple Sackboys, the thing is I could never find the perfect eyes to use. Could you please post a link to where you get the buttons? or where you go to purchase them. Thank you!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@letterbombxxx It is about half a foot and it took me about 6 hours to make it.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@Hoshikomai 2sc per stitch just means that you are going to do 2 single crochets in one stitch.

[@oskarkulig1345]

Very Cool And Creative 😀

[@TwilightFlip]

How long does it usually take you to complete one sackboy?

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@TheKiller611 No you don't. You can use smaller crochet hooks ^^

[@TT-mk4xy]

This is really great! How'd you learn how to crochet so well?!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

Yup, that's the pattern. So just repeat "1sc, 2sc in sc" until you reach your marker.

[@oly355]

man, youtube is my religion. you can learn to do anything! I learn how to make a pyramid head costume, a sackboy and learn how to make cool boardgames frigen cheap!

[@MrYoungtom]

Hi there! Love love love this pattern but the head always turns out really round. *sad face* Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Too many stitches? Or does it begin with the magic circle? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@TheKoolNFunny The Sackboy in the game is knitted.

[@liamx102]

you should work for the company and sell the sack-boys your good at it and soooo patient

[@KatAndCompani]

You want to grab both loops. Pretty much assume that you grab both unless otherwise specified.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@ChicoFox88 It's one of the Crochet 101 videos.

[@MaxBuster123]

@TylerandNat3 you can buy sackboys from game an game station for like £5 an theres lots to pck from :D

[@fatsmiley8DI]

I'm attempting to follow this pattern and I was wondering, when you are doing the top of the head, should the crochets come out evenly? like, when you 1 sc in 5sc then 2sc in 1sc, should the last crochet be the double? because when I finish a round, it's usually on the 2nd or 3rd crochet of the repeated step.

[@TrailBlazersInc]

I would like to make a giant sackboy..around 2 or 3 ft ..how would I go about crocheting that?

[@gumjuice2368]

probably do more stitches?

[@xvmeleevx]

I would like to see it if you do it. I'd suggest increasing every step by the same amount all the way down. But get the top of the head to the size you want first by just sc twice in every stitch each row. I think. I'm not 100%. I'm still learning

[@gumjuice2368]

+Melissa Mitchell calm down its just a suggestion!!!

[@Rossy__]

Ohh, ok. Yeah, your terminology is different than what I use. I'll just use something like: 5sc - 1scinc. Which would mean do 5 sc's, then do 1 scinc. It keeps it simple for me while I'm counting stitches in each round. Thanks for the correction though, Nikki!

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@xRainProductionsx Um, it takes me about 6 hours or so to make one. It really depends on your current skill level. I'm not really sure.

[@GoldenJellyBean]

I spent roughly $25 on the whole thing. Excluding the scissors because most people have those already.

[@ahmadlovely2001]

thats awesome i just wish i know how to make awesome stuff like that cause im sooo interested

[@GoldenJellyBean]

@Spacenerd9 I might make a tutorial on that or just put a text or image tutorial on my website.
