Crochet Hacky Sack

April 3, 2017 by Bethany 20 Comments

The idea for today’s free crochet pattern is brought to you by my husband Dallas! He was a real whiz with a hacky sack back in the the day (still is!). It’s funny, and really cool,  how you can be married to someone for almost a decade but still learn little things about him/her. He can keep this crochet hacky sack going for a while, and it’s fun to watch him teach our 5 year old his mad skills!  I was never good at it, but it’s fun to stand around in a circle laughing, chatting and kicking around a foot bag (fun fact: “foot bag” is the generic term for a Hacky Sack).

The Boy was having so much fun! Unfortunately, he is like me in that he gets frustrating quickly when things don’t come easily, but I think he will get it soon.
I think we found our  new family game.

    OMGosh! I can’t believe this is in my newsfeed today. Literally, 2 days ago my oldest grandson said, “Hey! We need hacky sacks! They’re so much fun!” He’s about to turn 23… and wants to teach his little brother to play. THANK YOU!!!

    What else can I use to fill the hacks sack instead of corn kernels or dried beans?

      Small beads would work!

    So glad you shared this pattern. We participate in Project Christmas Box and I like to make boxes for the older kids. I messed around trying to get the right size hacks sack, but it just wasn’t quite right. I’ll be whipping up a few of these this year!

      As indicated in the post, I used popcorn kernels, but I think beans would work as well.

        Please, do not use beans or rice and anything else that puffs when wet. Not only will it absorb moisture, but can also rot.

        Either use steel BB’s {this makes for more of a trick/stall bag} or get the plastic pellets from: http://www.footbagshop.com/plastic-footbag-filler.html {These are typically better for passing games and good to do a full 90 – 100% fill to keep the round shape better}.

    Exactly what do you do with hacks sacks, I am an Aussie and have never heard of them?

      It’s a game! You stand in a circle and kick it back and forth to the different people standing in the circle. You can also get pretty fancy with the kicking by using the sides of your feet. It’s pretty fun when you get the hang of it.
