About This Dead Crewmate Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern guides you through creating the 'defeated' version of an Among Us crewmate, complete with the legs, lower body, and the protruding bone cross-section. It uses a clever construction method starting with the legs and joining them to form the body. The bone section is made separately with two bumps joining into a shaft, then expanding into the 'meat' cap.
The design uses worsted weight cotton yarn for a clean, defined finish. The pattern includes detailed instructions for the leg join and the bone shape, resulting in a seamless look.
Why You'll Love This Dead Crewmate Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it captures such a specific and funny moment from the game that every player recognizes immediately. It is a quick and satisfying project that looks much more complex than it actually is, especially the bone detail. I really enjoy how the leg join creates a seamless body shape without complex sewing. It is the perfect way to use up scrap yarn for the bone and meat colors!
Switch Things Up
I love how easily you can customize this pattern to match your favorite in-game colors! Simply swap the Red yarn for Cyan, Yellow, Pink, or any other crewmate color to build a whole collection of fallen comrades.
Want to make a 'Ghost' version? Try using a light blue or white yarn for the body instead of the standard colors, and skip the bone/meat section to create a rounded top (you'll need to improvise a dome shape!).
I often experiment with the 'meat' color as well—while dark red or aubergine is accurate, a bright pink or dark purple can add a fun, stylized comic book effect to the design.
If you want to turn this into a keychain, simply use thinner sport weight yarn and a 2.0mm hook. The smaller size creates an adorable miniature version that can hang from your backpack or keys.
You can also use the bone pattern separately! It makes a great prop for other spooky Halloween decorations or as a funny accessory for other plush toys.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Twisting the chain when joining the legs will cause the body to be misshapen; make sure the chain is flat before crocheting back into the first leg.
✗ Overstuffing the bone part can make it look lumpy instead of smooth; stuff the narrow bone section gently with small amounts of fiberfill.
✗ Not counting stitches after the leg join often leads to an uneven waist; double-check you have exactly 36 stitches in round 10.
✗ Sewing the bone top too loosely will show the stuffing; use tight, neat stitches when attaching the top piece to the body.
