Sackboy (Crocheted)

Post by Laialda »

My brother (the one I made the baby things for) commissioned me while I was working on said baby things to make this for his wife for her birthday at the end of the month. He was having a very hard time finding the true ones only for a reasonable price and finally approached me since I can crochet to make one for him. Just finished tonight I give you the Sackboy from Little Big Planet!

Since there was absolutely no reference to some type of pattern to be found anywhere I just made it up as I went and scaled everything in relation to his head, which I made first. Overall I'm very pleased with how he turned out ^_^. Now I know he doesn't have a silver zipper like the game has but that is mainly due to the fact that there are no silver zippers to be found in my area at the moment. Had every color imaginable but silver.....very strange.

He stands at just under 6 inches tall and his head is 7 inches in circumference. This means he fits wonderfully in the palm of your hand as he should! :D The zipper is functional, which is something I didn't see on any of the other I found, and his arms and legs all jointed so he can be posed a bit.

Materials: Weight 3 yarn, black doll eyes, black buttons and felt.
Time to complete: 3 Days but about 10-12 hours.

Aww this is really lovely. I think this was made to crochet from the start. I'm glad someone has made him. :D

Sadly I don't live in the UK I'm in the states so I'm not sure how much shipping would be, if I have a postal code to work with though I could get back to you with UPS shipping pricing cause I can look that up at my work. I'm going to make one to try and sell at the anime convention happening near me this coming weekend and I'm gonna try for $20. I've never sold any of my crafting stuff before to people besides my friends and I'm horrible at pricing things >.<

i think $20 sounds more than reasonable for the time you must put into making that
