knit

Break yarn, leaving a 40in (100cm) length. Thread

through sts on needle, draw up tightly, then

oversew side edges of finger together.

Embroider

Use this stitch to neatly sew

Sackboy together.

RING FINGER

Next row Using remaining length of yarn, K2

from left-hand needle, turn and work on these 6

sts only.

*Next row P3, turn and work on these sts only.

Next row Knit.

Thread yarn through sts on needle, draw up

tightly, then oversew side edges of finger

together.**

Mattress stitch

MIDDLE FINGER

Next row Using remaining length of yarn, K1

from left-hand needle, turn and work on these 4

sts only.

Work as given for ring finger from * to **.

Keep the whipping

stitches nice and

bold – they’re

part of the

essential

detail.

INDEX FINGER

Next row Using remaining length

of yarn, K 2 sts from left-hand

needle. [3 sts].

St st 2 rows.

Thread yarn through sts on

needle and draw up tightly.

When sewing seams

on toy projects, use

small stitches and

matching yarn.

Work a gathering thread through

every stitch along base edge, draw

up tightly and fasten off.

Use yarn remaining at tip of each

index finger to oversew side edges of

finger together and round thumb, then mattress

stitch arm seam, stopping 1in (2.5cm) away from

top edge. Leaving fingers and thumb unstuffed,

stuff hand and arm, then join remainder of seam.

Work a gathering thread through every stitch

along top edge, draw up tightly and fasten off.

Use beige yarn to embroider uneven whipping

stitches. First work round top of head on 5th

decrease row, pinching knitting between finger

and thumb along this row as you embroider to

accentuate flat top of head. Now work a line of

stitching down each side of head.

Work a line of stitching down each leg seam,

Also work a line of stitching round each wrist and

up inside of arm, from wrist to top edge.

Use Click to sew arms and legs securely in

place, then use beige yarn to

embroider whipping stitches up each

side of body and round top of arms.

Mark eye positions with pins,

placing between 2nd and 3rd

decrease rows and spacing 2in

(5cm) apart, then sew buttons

securely in place and remove pins.

Draw out a single strand

from a length of black yarn

and use the remaining 2

strands to embroider mouth with

split stitch, working a 4in (10cm)

long, slightly curved, line.

Thread approximately 20in (50cm) of

yarn on to your needle and secure it by

weaving it down the edge of one piece

to the point where you will start

stitching, then bringing it to the front

between the first and second stitch.

Now lay both pieces to be joined

together on a flat surface and insert

the needle between the first two

stitches on the other piece. Bring the

needle back up through the opposite

piece between the two stitches on the

next row up. Keep stitching in this way

all the way up the edges to be joined,

pulling nice and tight on the yarn every

two or three stitches in order to bring

the fabric together.

TO MAKE UP

Unless otherwise specified, sew seams and join

pieces using mattress stitch, working with right

side of knitting uppermost. A one-stitch knitted

seam turning has been allowed on most pieces

to accommodate this method.

First spread a little glue on back of zip teeth to

seal, and leave to set. Insert zip between side

edges of body piece and pin in place. Draw out a

single strand from a length of Click and use the

remaining 2 strands to sew knitting to zip, using

backstitch and working one knitted stitch in

from edge. Remove pins then, with zip running

up centre front, fold base edge of body flat and

sew across. Stuff body firmly.

Cut four 3in (7.5cm) lengths of straw for neck

support, hold together and bind closely with

Click, securing ends with spots of glue, then push

finger into stuffing at top of body to make a hole

and insert support, leaving half extending above

top of body.

Join head seam, starting at gathered top edge

and stopping 1in (2.5cm) away from neck edge.

Stuff firmly, then join remainder of seam. Push

finger into stuffing at base of head and, with

head seam running down centre back, fit head

on to neck support, then join neck edges of head

and body.

Join seam on each leg, starting at gathered top

edge and stopping 1in (2.5cm) away from base

edge. Stuff firmly, then join remainder of seam.

Use Click to sew arms and legs securely in

place, then use beige yarn to

embroider whipping stitches up each

side of body and round top of arms.

Mark eye positions with pins,

placing between 2nd and 3rd

decrease rows and spacing 2in

(5cm) apart, then sew buttons

securely in place and remove pins.
