Free Pattern Friday! Ms. Pac-man

Happy Friday! I love Friday before a long weekend! Labor Day is Monday, everyone can sleep in, there's lots going on and I should be getting a lot of crochet time in too!




This month's free pattern is inspired by the recent SUPER iam8bit show in LA. When I was little, the arcade on the square (yes, I'm from a really small town) had Ms. Pac-man. I always wished the in-game Ms. Pac-man more closely resembled the voluptuous technicolor creature painted on the side of the game console. The round yellow ball with a red bow on one side was just a tiny bit less realistic.




Ms. Pac-Man
Here's what you'll need:


Materials:
Worsted weight yarn (yellow, red and black)
Black felt
Polyester fiberfill



Tools:
Size E crochet hook (or your favorite size)
Yarn needle
Embroidery needle
Craft glue

Key: 
ch: chain 
sc: single crochet 
sl st: slip stitch 


Body: 
R1: With E hook and yellow yarn, make and adjustable ring. Ch 1, and sc 6 into the ring. Pull ring closed.
R2: Work 2 sc into each st around (12)

R3: (2 Sc into next st, sc into next st)* rep to end of the round (18)
R4: (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 2 st)* rep to end of round (24)
R5: (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 3 st)* rep to end of round (30)
R6: (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 4 st)* rep to end of round (36)
R7-8: Sc into each st around (36)
R9: Sc into next 18 st, sl st into remaining 18 st (36)
R10: Repeat R9
R11: Ch 18, skip next 18 st, sc into next 18 st (18)
R12: Sc into next 18 ch, sc into next 18 st (36)
R13: Sc into each st (36)
R14: (Sc2tog, sc into next 4 st)* rep to end of round (30)
R15: (Sc2tog, sc into next 3 st)* rep to end of round (24)R16: (Sc2tog, sc into next 2 st)* rep to end of round (18)
R17: (Sc2tog, sc into next st)* rep to end of round (12)
R18: Sc2tog around (6)
Fasten off yarn with a slip stitch. Cut yarn tail and weave into last row of stitches, pulling tightly. Set the body aside.


Mouth (Make 2)
R1: With black yarn, make an adjustable ring, ch 1, sc 3 into the ring, and pull closed (3)
R2: Ch 1, turn. 2 Sc into each st (6)
R3: Ch 1, turn. (2 Sc into next st, sc into next st)* rep across row (9)
R4: Ch 1, turn. (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 2 st)* rep across row (12)
R5: Ch 1, turn. (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 3 st)* rep across row (15)
R6: Ch 1, turn. (2 Sc into next st, sc into next 4 st)* rep across row (18)


After making the two mouth pieces, you will have two semicircles. Seam them together to make one larger circle. 
Sew the seamed black mouth insert into the opening of the body. Stuff as you close up the last few stitches. 
Cut two small circles (about the size of a pencil eraser) from black felt. Cut two eyelash pieces from black felt. They should be shaped as shown in the photo. Glue the eyelash pieces to the back of each eye, then glue the assembled eye to each side of the body. 
Embroider lips onto the body. Starting in the middle of the mouth opening, make several long stitches going to the left and the right. Repeat for the bottom lip.
Use black yarn to embroider a beauty mark on one side of the body. A French knot will make quick work of this.


Red Bow Tie:
With red yarn, ch 4.
R1: Sc into 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, ch 1, turn (3)
R2: Sc2tog, sc into next st, ch 1, turn (2)
R3: Sc into each st, ch 1, turn (2)
R4: Sc2tog, ch 1, turn (1)
R5: 2 Sc into next st, ch 1, turn (2)
R6: 2 Sc into next st, sc into next st, ch 1, turn (3)
R7: Sc into each st, fasten off, leaving a long tail (3)
Weave long tail through to middle of bowtie. Wrap center of bowtie with yarn tail and then weave tail back into bowtie. Use the yarn tail to sew the bowtie to body. Weave starting tail through bowtie and hide within body. 



Cute, right? You want to PLAY Ms. Pac-man? Here you go!

    2. No, you chain 18 and skip the slip stitches, single crochet into the first single crochet after the slip stitches. Hope this helps 😅

  11. Hello, first of all thank you for the free pattern. I just finished the male version using this pattern, but I had a little problem. At R9 and R10, when slip stitching, my pacman was left with some kind of belt on the back, so it doesn't look really round. It's one of my first projects, so I could be to blame for it, but I wanted to let you know anyways. Thanks again.

    1. same problem here. I think there is a typing error. however, I edited the pattern this way
      R9: Sc into each st around (36)
      R10: sl st into next 18 st,Sc into remaining 18 st (36)
      so sl sts correspond to lip.
      no more belt. very rounded pacman :)

  12. This is great, they're coming out super cute. Thanks to Anonymous for the pattern fix. I'm just wondering how to sew the mouth on like you did? When I sew it on, either with black or yellow yarn and do sort of a whip stitch around to attach the mouth, the contrasting colors don't look very good. How did you make the stitches invisible to attach the mouth? Or if anyone has any ideas on how to do it? Thanks :)

  20. Big error in the pattern. I also got the belt look across the back of the body. Ripped out my work and corrected row 11 on my own.start with 18sc, not the 18 ch. Fixes the problem and looks like the picture. This turns out really small. I'd like to try my hand at this with plush yarn to make it bigger.

  31. A Green personality type is a peaceful, composed individual. He is generally quite introspective and interested in understanding himself and others. Greens are frequently very intuitive and have a strong sense of empathy. They’re normally good listeners and can be very perceptive. Greens are often the ones individuals come to for advice because they are good listeners.
