Materials Needed: Your chosen yarn color (like orange!), crochet hook, stitch marker, stuffing.

Round 1: Foundation

1. Make a slip knot on your hook.
2. Chain two (1, 2).
3. Work six single crochet (SC) stitches into the very first chain. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 SC).
4. Pull tight to close the ring.

Round 2: Increase

Place your stitch marker to mark the end of the round. You will now make two SC stitches in each stitch around. You should have 12 SC stitches at the end of this round.

1. In the first stitch: 1 SC, then 2nd SC in the same stitch.
2. Repeat for all remaining stitches.

Round 3: Increase (2, 1 Pattern)

The pattern for this round is “two SC in one stitch, then one SC in the next stitch” (2, 1). Repeat this pattern all the way around. You will have 18 SC stitches at the end.

1. First stitch: 1 SC, then 2nd SC in the same stitch.
2. Next stitch: 1 SC.
3. Repeat this (2 SC, 1 SC) sequence around.

Round 4: Increase (2, 1, 1 Pattern)

The pattern for this round is “two SC in one stitch, then one SC in each of the next two stitches” (2, 1, 1). Continue repeating this pattern all the way around. You should finish with 24 SC stitches.

1. First stitch: 1 SC, then 2nd SC in the same stitch.
2. Next stitch: 1 SC.
3. Next stitch: 1 SC.
4. Repeat this (2 SC, 1 SC, 1 SC) sequence around.

Rounds 5-16: Straight Body

For these 12 rounds, you will simply do one single crochet stitch in each stitch all the way around. Maintain your 24 SC stitches. This forms the main cylindrical body of your Among Us character. After round 16, your body should be taking clear shape.

The legs are formed by working directly onto the body and then creating individual leg tubes. You’ll work a ‘leg seam’ first, then crochet each leg separately.

Leg Seam Creation

1. Chain five (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
2. Single crochet across these chains (you’ll have 4 SC in this row).
3. Slip stitch to join to the next stitch on the body.
4. Chain one and turn.
5. Skip the first stitch, then SC across the next four stitches (1, 2, 3, 4).
6. Chain one and turn.
7. SC across the next four stitches (1, 2, 3, 4).
8. Slip stitch to join to the next stitch on the body.

Once completed, you’ll sew this leg seam to the center, creating two distinct leg openings. Measure 10 stitches from the leg seam and sew it down over four stitches to form the leg division.

First Leg: Rounds

Working into one of the leg openings and across the leg seam, you will have 14 stitches for the first round of the leg.

1. Initial Round: SC in the 9 stitches on the body opening, then 4 SC across the leg seam. You should have 14 stitches.
2. Decrease Round: Begin with a single crochet decrease (SC dec). Then, work 5 SC stitches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Repeat this sequence (SC dec, 5 SC). You should have 12 SC stitches at the end.
3. Next 3 Rounds: Continue with one SC in each stitch all the way around. You will maintain 12 SC stitches. Start stuffing the body and legs as you go.
4. Final Decrease Round (Back Loops Only): Work SC decreases all the way around, but this time, go through the back loops only. You will make 6 decreases in total, closing the leg. Fasten off and sew the leg closed.

Second Leg

Repeat the exact same pattern for the other leg, joining your yarn to the second leg opening. Once both legs are complete and stuffed, hide all your ends.

The backpack is made separately and then sewn onto the body.

Start with: Chain 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

1. Round 1: SC across the chain (8 SC). Turn your work and SC across the other side of the chain (8 SC). Your last stitch will be the 9th on that side, giving you 18 SC stitches total around the oval.
2. Round 2 (Back Loop Only): Work one SC in the back loop only for all 18 stitches around. This creates a distinct ridge for the backpack.
3. Rounds 3-9: Work one SC in both loops for each stitch all the way around. You will maintain 18 SC stitches for these 7 rounds, building the height of the backpack.
4. Closing Rounds: Work 2 SC stitches. Then, in the back loop only, work 9 SC stitches.

Fasten off, leaving a very long tail for sewing. Lightly stuff the backpack. Sew the top closed, going through the back loop on one side and under both loops on the other for a neat finish. This long tail will also be used to sew the backpack onto the body later.

Using gray yarn, the space helmet is the final touch to your crewmate.

Start with: Chain 9 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

1. Round 1: SC across the chain (8 SC). Turn your work and SC across the other side of the chain (8 SC). You will have 16 SC stitches total around the oval.
2. Round 2 (Back Loop Only): Work one SC in the back loop only for all 16 stitches around, creating a ridge similar to the backpack.
3. Next 5 Rounds: Work one SC in both loops for each stitch all the way around. You will maintain 16 SC stitches, building the depth of the helmet.
4. Closing Rounds: Work one SC stitch. Then, in the back loop only, work 8 SC stitches.

Fasten off, leaving a very long tail for sewing. Lightly stuff the helmet and sew it closed the same way you did the backpack. This tail will be used to sew the helmet onto the body.
