Crochet Stick Man Pattern Instructions

This pattern is made predominantly in rounds, working from a magic circle. The main stitch used is a single crochet (US terms). If you are new to crochet, you can find guides to how to make these stitches here:

• Magic Circle Tutorial
• Basic Crochet Stitches And Techniques

The pattern will begin by being written in full terms, with abbreviations in italics. Thereafter the abbreviations will be used, once they have been established. The stitch count in each round is given in brackets at the end of the instruction.

Crochet Stick Man’s Leafs

I made various attempts at the crochet leaves for Stick Man. And I have to admit, I fell flat. Very flat. I mean to the extent that I am not even going to share photos of my attempts with you, as they were unidentifiable as leaves. Amorphous green blobs, with strange wavy edges simply weren’t going to cut it here. So I went back to my very favorite crochet leaf pattern and used that instead.

So to make your crochet Stick Man’s leaves, you will need to pop over to Attic24 here.

The triple layer flower pattern has a leaf tutorial at the bottom of the page. Follow it using a 2.5mm crochet hook, brown DK yarn for the spine and a green DK yarn for the rest of the leaf. If you haven’t come across Attic24 before, then I highly recommend a good snoop around the site while you’re there. It’s brilliant.

Joining Crochet Stick Man Together

You are now ready to join your Stick Man crochet toy together. Lay out the following crochet Stick Man pieces:

• 1 Body
• 2 Arms
• 2 Fingers
• 2 Feet
• 4 Leaves
• 2 Eyes
• 1 Nose

First few the feet onto the body. Using your brown yarn and needle, weave around the base of the leg and attach the foot, toes pointing forwards. Next sew the fingers onto the arms. One on the bottom, one on the top.

Then sew your leaves on. A pair on top of his head towards the back, and another pair underneath one of his arms. Use your crochet hook to pull the loose threads helping to secure the leaves of your Stick Man crochet toy in place. Finally pin the arms, nose and eyes in the position you would like them in.

Sew the eyes on using white yarn, working carefully around the circumference of each one. Remove pins as you secure each side to keep them level and in place.

Then using your brown yarn, very neatly sew the nose onto the center of the face. Sew through each single crochet stitch in the final round to ensure that it is tightly joined.

Last of all, sew the shoulder of the arm only your Stick Man’s crochet body. Check the angle of the arm as it’s a static fix, so you won’t be able to move them after you are done.

I hope you enjoy making your Stick Man crochet toy as much as I did. When you’ve finished, why not share a photo of him on my Facebook page or via Ravelry! You can also check out a totally lovely review of this pattern on Ravelry here.
