The key takeaways are that the creator made South Park crochet patterns as a wedding gift for a friend and provides detailed instructions on how to make the characters of Butters, Kyle, Kenny, and Stan.

The materials required are various colored yarns, a 3.5mm crochet hook, fiberfill, white felt, yarn needle, sewing needle and thread, and black embroidery floss.

The basic head is constructed by starting with a magic circle and increasing rounds until 42 stitches are reached, then decreasing back down to close the head. Instructions are provided to stuff the head as it is constructed.

South Park’s Butters, Kyle, Kenny, and Stan Pattern

By: Edward Yong

I created these little guys for one of my friends because he asked for the South Park characters as
a wedding gift. Even though I thought it was a strange gift I honoured his request. Cartman was
the first character I made so he’s a bit rough looking. Cartman is another pattern so he’s not
included.

This is the base pattern for all the other characters pictured above (i.e. Butters, Kyle, Kenny, and
Stan) and the corresponding embellishments. If there are any corrections to the pattern please let
me know and I will update it!

Anyway, I used a 3.5mm (E) Hook and 10-ply worsted yarn for this pattern. My gauge was 6sc x
7 rows in an 1 inch square. This isn’t really a requirement for the pieces as long as the yarn and
hook are of the appropriate and equivalent size.

Most of the rounds for each piece will be joined unless otherwise stated. I found working in the
round did not create a nice division between the different colours.

- Beige, black, dark blue, light blue, brown, dark green, light green, orange, red, and yellow
coloured yarn
- Fibrefill

For Earflaps and Back of Hat:


Rotate the hat so that it is horizontal (i.e. flat portion of cap facing the left hand and open end of
cap facing the right). For the description below, each row will represent 1 sc on the hat working
upwards and around (i.e. every time a new row is started it will either be from a sc on the last rnd
of the hat or ss into a sc on the hat).
Row 1: ch 4
Row 2: sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2sc, ss into the next st on hat, turn (3)
Row 3: 2sc (work up the sc from the previous row and not along the hat), inc, ch1, turn (4)
Row 4: 4sc, ss into next st on hat, turn
Row 5: 4sc, turn
Row 6: sk the 1st sk, 3sc, ss, into next st on hat, turn
This finishes off the earflap as pictured below.
The next rows are to create the back of the hat.
Row 7: sc into next st on hat
Row 8: sc into next st on hat
Row 9: hdc into next st on hat
Row 10: hdc into next st on hat
Row 11: dc into next st on hat

Row 19: hdc into next st on hat
Row 20: hdc into next st on hat
Row 21: sc into next st on hat
Row 22: sc into next st on hat
This finishes the back of the hat as pictured below.

The following will create the other earflap.


Row 23: ss into next st on hat, ch 4
Row 24: sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2sc, ss into the next st on hat, turn (3)
Row 25: 2sc (work up the sc from the previous row and not along the hat), inc, ch1, turn (4)
Row 26: 4sc, ss into next st on hat, turn
Row 27: 4sc, turn
Row 28: sk the 1st sk, 3sc, ss, into next st on hat
F/O and leave a long enough tail to attach the hat onto the head.

Row 1: ch 11
Row 2: sc in 2nd ch from hook, 9sc, ch1, turn (10)
Row 3: 10sc, ch 1, turn

Rnd 1: 6 sc into magic circle, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (6)
Rnd 2: 6inc, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (12)
Rnd 3: *sc, inc* x 6, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (18)

Rnd 7-10: 36sc ss into 1st st, ch 1
Rnd 11: 36sc, ss into 1st st
F/O the dark blue yarn and weave in the tail. Attach Red to the joining stitch of previous round
and continue.
Rnd 12: 36sc ss into 1st st, ch 1
Rnd 13: 36sc, ss into 1st st
F/O and leave a long tail for attaching the hat to the head.
For Puff on Hat:
Using Red, make a pom-pom. I did this by loosely wrap the yarn around two fingers 10 times. I
removed the yarn from my fingers and tied a piece of yarn around the centre of the loops. The
piece of yarn will be used to attach the pom-pom to the top of the hat. Then I cut the loops on
either ends and fluffed up the pom-pom.

Basic Feet: (Make 2)


Using Black and working in continuous rounds.
Rnd 1: 6 sc into magic circle (6)
Rnd 2: 6inc (12)
Rnd 3-5: 12sc
Rnd 6: *sc, dec* x 4 (8)
Rnd 7: 4 dec (4)
F/O and leave a long enough tail to sew close the 4st opening and to attach the feet to the legs.
Do not stuff the piece as it will be flattened to make the feet.

Legs and Torso:


Depending on the character you are making, there are different colours to begin with. Use the
following chart to pick the colour.

Character Colour

Rnd 4: 15sc in back loop only, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (15)
Rnd 5: 15, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (15)
F/O the current leg and leave a tail. Repeat the above process to create a second leg. Using the
tail of the first leg, sew the two together before beginning the next round.
Rnd 6-7: 30sc, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (30)
Now it is time to make the torso of the character. This may require a colour change as specified
in the chart below. Attach the new colour to the joining stitch and continue.

Character Colour
Butters Light Blue
Kenny Orange (no change)
Kyle Orange
Stan Brown

Rnd 8-13: 30sc, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (30)

Rnd 15: *2sc, dec* x 6, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (18)
Another colour change is required for some of the characters to create the collar of the jacket.
Please see the specified colour change in the chart below:

Character Colour
Butters Light Blue (no change)
Kenny Orange (no change)
Kyle Green
Stan Red

Rnd 16: 18sc, ss into 1st st


F/O and leave a long enough tail to attach body to head.

Hand and Arm: (Make 2)


Depending on the character you are making, there are different colours to begin with. Use the
following chart to pick the colour.

Character Colour
Butters Beige
Kenny Brown
Kyle Green
Stan Red

Rnd 1: 6sc into magic circle, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (6)


Rnd 2: 6sc, ss into 1st st, ch 1 (6)
Rnd 3: 5sc, 3hdc in last st but do not finish the first 2hdc (i.e. do not pull through the 3 loops at
the end before next stitch) ensuring that before you finish the last hdc there are 7 loops on the
hook, sc, into last st, ss into 1st st, ch 1
Rnd 4: 6sc (ensure to go into the sc on the last st of previous round instead of the hdc), ss into 1st
st, ch 1
Begin stuffing the hand. Continue stuffing as you work on the piece.
Rnd 5a: 6sc in front loop only, ss into 1st st, ch 1
F/O and weave in tail. There will be another colour change. Refer to the chart below for the
specified colour for the character you are making.
Character Colour
Butters Light Blue
Kenny Orange
Kyle Orange
Stan Brown

Attach new colour to any back loop on Rnd 5 (I always attached it to the joining stitch from
previous colour to ensure the seam continues)
Rnd 5b: 6sc, ss into 1st st, ch 1
Rnd 6-10: 6sc, ss into 1st st, ch 1

Stuff the arm moderately and leave room at the top. Fold the opening in half to line up the
stitches then sc across the top to seal the arm closed (3sc). Ensure that the fold is with the length
of the hand and not perpendicular to it (i.e. the flat seam so line up with the thumb). F/O and
leave a long enough tail to attach the arm to the body.

Assembly:
1) Attach the head to the top of the body. I attempted to line up the 18st opening of the body
with the Rnd 15 on the head. Add extra stuffing and shape the body before closing off the
opening. This does not work on Kenny because the head is covered in the hoodie.
Attempt to position the head as best as possible so that the opening of the hoodie is lined
up with the body and faces straight out.
2) Attach the hat to the head. Angle the hat on the head of Kyle and Stan to designate which
side is the back and which side is the front. The hat may be a tight fit so slide it on as best
as possible. Pinning the piece may help with sewing it in place correctly. Kenny will not
require any positioning as the hoodie is part of his head. In the case for Butters, attach the
hair on top of his head.
3) With white felt, create the eyes. I cut out white ovals for the whites of the eyes and tied
French Knots with black embroidery thread for the pupils. You can try and use black felt
for the pupils but I found cutting out the tiny dots to difficult.
4) Position the eyes right in the middle of the head. The top of the ovals should be pointed
together while the bottom of the ovals should be pointed away. Sew the eyes to the head.
5) Using black embroidery floss, embroider on the mouth. I gave everyone a smile.
6) Using black embroidery floss, embroider a line down the middle of the torso for the
opening of the jacket. Kyle required some pockets so I used the floss for that as well.
7) Attach the arms to either side of the body where the head and torso meet. Ensure that the
thumbs on the hands are pointed forward.
8) Attach feet to the legs. Ensure that the closed end is the back of the foot and the first
rounds are the front of the foot. Line up the back closed end with the back of the leg.
Now it’s complete!

Hope you enjoyed making this as much as I did. I made several attempts at the various body
shapes. At one point I was about to throw this thing across the room but I think it turned out
great and am extremely pleased with the results.
And just in case for legal reasons....
