About This Among Us Crewmate Amigurumi Pattern
This Among Us crewmate pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters who want to create a fun gaming-inspired amigurumi. The pattern features a unique body shape with a bone-top hat detail that captures the iconic look of the crewmates from the game.

Why You'll Love This Among Us Crewmate Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it brings one of my favorite games into the world of crochet! There's something special about transforming a digital character into a tangible, huggable creation. The quick work-up time means you can make an entire crew in different colors, and the simple construction makes it satisfying without being overwhelming. I find the bone-top hat detail particularly charming—it adds personality and makes each crewmate feel complete. Plus, watching the iconic shape come together as you work is incredibly rewarding, and seeing fellow gamers' faces light up when they recognize what you've made is priceless!
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with this pattern to create a whole crew of unique crewmates! One of my favorite modifications is adding small embroidered details like a visor or different colored highlights to make each character stand out. You could even create tiny accessories inspired by the game—think mini backpacks or tools attached to their sides.
For a fun twist, try making the bone-top in different colors instead of just white. A rainbow bone-top or one that matches the body color creates an interesting visual effect. I've also experimented with adding small felt pieces for more defined visors or using safety eyes positioned where a visor would be for a different look.
If you want to make your crewmate poseable, consider inserting thin wire through the body before stuffing—just make sure the ends are secured safely if gifting to children. Some crocheters add weighted pellets to the bottom of the legs for extra stability, which works wonderfully for larger versions.
The color combinations are endless! Create the entire rainbow of crewmates, make themed sets with your favorite color palettes, or even customize them with your friends' favorite colors. Each one takes just a couple of hours, so building a whole crew for a gaming party or as gifts is totally achievable in a weekend. The simple construction means you can really let your creativity shine through color choices and small personalized details!
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Not maintaining consistent tension when switching colors can create gaps or puckering where colors meet in the pattern
✗ Overstuffing the body can distort the characteristic Among Us shape and make the legs unable to support the weight
✗ Forgetting to slip stitch off before creating the second leg results in incorrect leg placement and an unstable base
✗ Skipping the instruction to sew the bone top through back stitches of row fourteen leaves it loose and prone to falling off
