You must be here because you (or a human in your life) is a big fan of the game, Among Us! This mafia-type game gained a ton of popularity during 2020, and I have a feeling that lock-down during Covid had something to do with it.
Note: Please do not copy/redistribute any part of this pattern as your own. Feel free to sell your finished products in small quantities - I only ask that you give credit to help support my work :). I would also love for you to share photos of your cute creations made with my pattern by tagging me on Instagram #curiouspapaya. Thank you!
MATERIALS:

LEGS (in the base color you choose):
RND 1: Make a magic circle and (SC) x 6 [6]
RND 2: (INC) x 6 [12]
RND 3: BLO - SC all around [12]
RND 4-6: SC all around (3 RNDs total) [12]
Fasten off. Repeat rounds 1-6 to create the second leg. Do not fasten off the second leg since we’ll be joining pieces.
RND 7: ch 2 and join the legs. Sc around both, including the ch. [28]
BODY:
Stuff the body as you go and be sure to stuff the legs first. I like to roll up the fiber fill stuffing so they perfectly fit in the legs.
RND 8-15: SC all around (8 RNDs total) [28]
RND 16: (5 SC, DEC) x 4 [24]
RND 17: (2 SC, DEC) x 6 [18]
RND 18: (SC, DEC) x 6 [12]
Stuff the very top of the body after row 18 using a pair of sharp scissors to push the stuffing down. Fasten off and sew the opening closed.
BACKPACK:
RND 1: CH 10. Starting in the second CH from the hook, HDC into each ST. Work on the other side of the chain and HDC into each ST. [18]
RND 2: BLO - HDC all around [18]
RND 3-6: HDC all around (4 RNDs total) [18]
RND 7: BLO - SC all around [18]
Fasten off. Leave a tail for sewing the backpack closed as well as for fastening it onto the body of your crewmate. Lightly stuff. Sew closed using the BLO.
GOGGLES (in light blue yarn):
RND 1: CH 9. Starting in the second CH from the hook, HDC into the next 8 STs. Work on the other side of the CH and HDC into the next 8 STs. [16]
RND 2: HDC all the way around [16]
*Helpful color changing tip: On the last stitch of RND 2, yarn over as if doing a HDC stitch and go into the next stitch. Then, yarn over in the NEW color. This will make the color change less steep.
Change to black yarn.
RND 3: BLO - SC all around. Keep the yarn tension loose to avoid cinching the goggles. SLST into the first stitch and leave a tail before fastening off. [16]
Change to white yarn. Create a highlight on the goggles by weaving your
yarn through diagonally.
ASSEMBLY:
- Sew the backpack onto the body with the part that you chained facing the top since it is neater.
- When sewing the goggles on, mark it with pins so that it stays centered. Sew it on through the BLO.
That's it! Your crewmate is finished! I love to feature people's creations using my patterns on my Instagram if you'd like to post/tag me :)
