Proudly display your own handmade Pac-Man plush! | Source: The Woobles

Pac-Man, the Cherries he chases, and Blinky the ghost have never been cuter — these iconic video game characters have become adorable crochet plush! 

The Woobles is a company that offers a variety of craft kits centered around the art of amigurumi, a crochet craft with Japanese origins that produces small stuffed plush. The Woobles’ inventory includes kits that beginners can use to make tiny animals, but the company has recently moved into the world of pop culture collabs. Its most recent collaboration features iconic Pac-Man characters and elements, and it is already sold out!

The Pac-Man x The Woobles collection came out just last Thursday. It was originally announced exclusively to customers who had signed up for new product alerts. It sold out within hours, but don’t worry! If you can’t resist these Pac-Man crochet projects inspired by your favorite arcade game, you can join the waitlist now to know as soon as stock refills. The collection includes a Pac-Man Crochet Kit, a Blinky Crochet Kit, a Cherries Crochet Kit, and the Leader of the Pac Bundle that includes all three together. 

The kits are designed to be beginner-friendly and include everything crafters need to make the amigurumi plush. With pre-started yarn, stuffing, a needle, a stitch marker, an optional included crochet hook, and a crochet pattern, you won’t need to make any extra trips to the craft store. The Woobles also offers a series of video tutorials and virtual crochet office hours to assist anyone struggling with the projects.

While you wait for Pac-Man, Blinky, and the Cherries to return, there’s a whole assortment of other crochet bundles from the Woobles keep you occupied! The company previously partnered with the Miffy brand, and there are still some kits from that collab available to purchase.
