Head:
Okay, before I go on to the pattern, let me just say that I'm sorry it's kinda, well, tricky. Now, moving on!
Starting with "Head Spikes"
"Stitched" spikes: make 2 with red
Rnd 1) 6sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2) (inc, sc 2) repeat around (8)
Rnd 3) (inc, sc 3) repeat around (10)
Rnd 4) (inc, sc 4) repeat around (12)
Rnd 5) (inc, sc 5) repeat around (14) Change to black
Rnd 6) (inc, sc 6) repeat around (16) Change to red
Rnd 7) (inc, sc 7) repeat around (18)
Rnd 8) (inc, sc 8) repeat around (20)
Rnd 9) sc even (20) F/O, leaving a long tail on one, and a tail just a wee bit longer than your hook on the other.
Non-Stitched Spikes: make 4 with red
Rnd 1-9: Repeat rnds 1-9 of the stitched spikes, leaving out the colour change.
F/O two of the spikes with a long tail, one with a tail just a wee bit longer than your hook, and DO NOT F/O you last Spike.
Head: Main Part!
Rnd 10) sc into the first 10 sc of that last spike. Take the "stitched" spike that has the shorter tail and sc into the first 10 sc of it. Now take the non-stitched spike that has the shorter tail and sc in all 20 sc. Sc in the remaining sc of the other two spikes. (60)
Rnd 11) Sc even (60) Now, using the tails from your joined in spikes, sew the gaps in rnd 10 shut. Go ahead and stuff the spikes if you want to do so now.
Rnd 12-15) Sc even (60)
Rnd 16) (dec, sc 8) repeat around (54)
Rnd 17-21) Sc even (54)
Rnd 22) (dec, sc 7) repeat around (48)
Rnd 23-32) Sc even (48)
Rnd 33) (inc, sc 7) repeat around (54)
Rnd 34-38) Sc even (54)
Rnd 39) (inc, sc 8) repeat around (60)
Rnd 40-45) Sc even (60) F/O. Stuff head modertly. You want Wilt to have a 3D head, but don't stuff too much, as you want his head to be kinda-sorta flat. Stuff the other spikes in the same way, then sew them to the head. You want the "stitched" spike to be at the top of his head, then put the other two under that. Go ahead and weave in the ends on that head!
Right eye(the one with the straight stalk): starting with white
Rnd 1) 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2) inc around (12)
Rnd 3) inc around (24)
Rnd 4-7) sc even (24)
Rnd 8) dec around (12) start stuffing firmly.
Rnd 9) dec around (6) Change to red, finish stuffing eye.
Rnd 10-20) sc even(6)
F/O with a long tail. Insert your dowel rod into the eye stalk. You'll see that your dowel is a about an inch longer than your eye stalk. That's okay! You want it to be, as what doesn't fit in the eye ball and eye stalk is to be inserted into the head. Place the eye to the right side of the center-top of head. Sew in place.
Eye Lid for Right eye: with red
Rnd 1-4) Repeat rnds 1-4 of Right eye.
F/O with a long tail, sew to back of eye.
Left eye(the zig-zaggy one): starting with white

Rnd 5) dec around (6) change to red, place saftey eye between rnds 2 and 3, stuff eye ball.
Rnd 6-25) sc even (6)
F/O with a long tail. Fold your pipe cleaner in half, twist it together gently, and insert it in the same way as the dowel rod for the right eye. Place this eye to the left side of the center top of head and sew in place. Bend to look like Wilt's zig-zaggy eye.
Eyelid for Left eye: with red
Rnd 1-3) repeat rnds 1-3 of Left eye
F/O with long tail, sew to back of eye.

Putting the foot together!
Step 1) Using the first long tail from the bottom of the foot, sew one side of the shoe to the sole, going from row 1-30 of both, using double whipstitch(just double up your whipstitches). Repeat on other side of foot with the other long tail, going from row 30-1, stuffing the shoe/foot as you go.
Step 2) Using the black tails from the tops of the shoes, sew the 3 black stitches on each side to the sides of rows 31-32.
Step 3) Still using those tails, sew the white part to the black part on each side. Now weave in all those ends, stuff the top of Wilt's high top, and move on to the next part!
Legs
Rnd 1) With white, join onto the top of the shoe at some point in the back with a single crochet. Working evenly, sc 11 more times around the top of the shoe. (12)
Rnd 2-30) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change to blue.
Rnd 31-32) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) F/O blue, change back to white.
Rnd 33-36) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change to red.
Rnd 37-38) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change back to white.
Rnd 39-40) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) F/O white, change back to red.
Rnd 41-100) sc even, stuffing as you go (12)
F/O with long tail. Sew to bottom of body, with inside of leg at about rnd 2 of body.
Detail Work
Step 1) Using the pics as reference, add the stitch detail to Wilt's "stitched" head spikes, and his left arm over top of the rnd of black.
Step 2) Start heating up your hot glue gun, and cut out you felt peices! You'll need a black oval for Wilt's Right eye, a white number 1, a slightly smaller blue number 1, a big white smile, and 4 small white ovals for Wilt's shoes.
Step 3) Glue the blue number 1 to the white number 1, then glue that to the front of Wilt's body. Alterntly, you can just paint the smaller blue number 1 onto the white number 1, then glue that onto Wilt in the same way once it has dryed.
Step 4) Glue the black oval to Wilt's Right eye to give him a puple/iris(idk if it's one or the other).
Step 5) Glue on Wilts mouth, then paint the three "teeth lines" onto it with the black fabric paint once the glue has had time to cool and dry.
Step 6) With either stitching or black fabric paint, add in the shoe lace and toe details to the shoes, then glue the little white ovals to Wilt's high tops, using the pics as reference for placement.
And that's it! Once all the paint has dryed, and all the glue has cooled, you'll have yourself your very own Wilt!
As a cool side note, you can made the version of Wilt seen in the flashbacks from "Good Wilt Hunting" by making 6 of the non-stitched head spikes, two of the Right Eye, two Wrist Bands, and making a second arm, as follows below:
Alternet Left Arm: with red
Thumb: with red
Rnd 1) 6sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2) inc around (12)
Rnd 3-4) sc even (12) Stuff fingertip lightly
Rnd 5) dec around (6)
Rnd 6-14) sc even (6) Stuff thumb lightly
F/O with a tail a little longer then your hook. Set aside for now.
Fingers, make 3:
Rnd 1) 6sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2) inc around (12)
Rnd 3-4) sc even (12) Stuff fingertip lightly
Rnd 5) dec around (6)
Rnd 6-16) sc even (6) Stuff finger lightly
F/O the first two in the same way as the thumb, DO NOT F/O the last one.
Hand:
Rnd 17) sc in first 3 sc of last finger made, sc in first 3 sc of next finger, sc in all 6 sc of third finger, sc in remaining 3 sc of the other two fingers (18)
Rnd 18-20) sc even (18). Using the tails from your F/O points, sew shut the little gaps made in rnd 17.
Rnd 21) sc in the first sc of hand, sc in all 6 sc of thumb, sc in last 17 sc of hand (24)
Rnd 22) (dec, sc 2) repeat around (18) Using your F/O point, sew shut the gap made in rnd 21. Start stuffing hand lightly.
Rnd 23) sc even (18)
Rnd 24) (dec, sc) repeat around (12)
Rnd 25) sc even (12)
Rnd 26) (dec, sc 4) repeat around (10)
Rnd 27-100) sc even, stuffing moderately as you go (10)
