Pac-Man!!!!
Around January this year a friend of mine hinted that he would like me to make him a Pac-Man toy. I ended up designing him not only packman but also a full set of ghost to go with it. After showing off on Craftster and Flickr many people begged for the pattern. So here is is at long last the Crocheted Pac-Man brought to you free thanks to the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial- NoDerivs 2.5 License.

Aw, Carey. It’s a blog! Your stuff look great and lil ugly is just too precious.
how do you get the pattern? i am confused. am i missing something? i want to make these! they are so darn cute.
Wanted to say I am sorry. I changed my domain over this morning and the link to the pattern broke. It is fixed now. I hope you all enjoy.
I love it!! Not only am I a Pacman fan I love to crochet!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. Thank you sharing.
Just wanted to say thanks for the pattern…I ju made the pac-man in just one day since your instructions were so clear. Tomorrow I start on the ghosts….
Very unique thanks for sharing
I looked at this pattern, but in the PDF, the graphic in the upper right seems to cover some of the words in the instructions. Can you help me with the lines that are missing?
“Finishing
Trace and cut out the shape of one of the mouth
sides on cardboard 2 times.
With whip stitch, sew the two flat edges of the mouth
halves together.
Line up the corner of the mouth halves with the
corner in the yellow body. Sew bottom half of mouth
along the edge of the body.
Place cardboard cut out flat against the bottom of
the mouth inside PacMan’s body and stuff the
bottom of the body so that it holds the cardboard
flush against the bottom of the mouth.
Sew on black button eyes as shown in picture.
Stuff the rest of the body and place second
cardboard cutout so that it will be flush with the
where the top of the mouth will be. Then sew top of
mouth to the body. Weave in ends.”
does that help?
Thank you SO much… they are sweet (hope I can make them) and your free pattern is very much appreciated.
Hi! Just wanted you to see the pic of my completed pacman set, (along with a Mario star, for added coolness!) These are for my husband for xmas, per his request.

They look great! Sorry I did not approve your comment faster. Oppies. Love the star to go with them.

I just found this on gnatonawindshield’s blog and let me say as a child of the 80’s that you rock. Thanks for creating this pattern and offering for free.
Just posted about your awesome crocheted Pac-Man characters on geekcrafts.com!
thank you so much for the great pattern! i found the link on the craftzine blog. your pattern is awesome!
Hi, if you don’t mind, I’d like to post a link to this pattern from my blog.
Thank you,
Melisa
thanks for sharing! my husband just lost it – he wants me to make these so he can make a mobile for our baby-to-be.
Carey, I met you today at the Craft party. I’ve been looking through your blog and I’ve gotta say I love your critters! So adorable! I also realized that I downloaded your pattern MONTHS ago (although, since I am awful at following patterns, I will admit that I haven’t actually made them yet).
It was great meeting you!
I want a Pac Man!! You’re awesome

HI im a genious an pac man rules
Your work is marvelous!!/
Hey nice I like to see that people are talking about pacman now a days.
hello! i love this pattern…but i’m having some trouble with it. is there anyone here who has made it who might be willing to give me some pointers? should i be joining the rows? if anyone is willing to help, could you please email me at allisanrio@yahoo.com? THANKS!!! : )
Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also…
That’s so cool! I remember creating my first crochet pattern, “back in the day”, and it was pacman and his ghosts. Yours is much more realistic!
haha that looks really cute! I will have to make that for my daughter
That’s awesome! Have to get my grandma to make them for me, I don’t have to co-ordination to pull any crochet pattern off properly
Eh. I was wondering. . . For PacMan, do I increase every round? Or every 5 sc? Because, I’m on round 8 and have 640 sc… Thats a little big. Any help?
You increase 5 sc in each row. So row one would have 5 stitches, 2 would have 10, 3 would have 15 and so forth. The same goes for the ghost.
