Sackboy for Michelle's nephew

My nephew Jaxon turned 4 a couple of days ago, and since he's a huge fan of Little BIG Planet, I made him a Sackboy. It was a bit of a project in a hurry, so I didn't knit or crochet the Sackboy, like I would have liked. Instead I used a pair of old cotton socks. I don't think I got the ratio of head to body size right (body should be much smaller compared to the head), but overall the toy looked enough like Sackboy to be immediately recognizable by Jaxon's parents (but oddly enough, not by Jaxon himself...).


Since Jaxon is a huge hockey fan, he decided that the yellow hat/toque I made for Sackboy is a helmet, the vest his jersey, and he requested a pair of skates to go with the uniform. Here's how the skates turned out too:
