There’s an Imposter, Among Us! Do you know who? Well guys, it’s my latest free crochet pattern, an Among Us Amigurumi from the popular social game! I decided to work up a basic crewmate Among Us crochet pattern, and as a bonus, I’ve even included the “dead body” pattern as well.
After doing the Fall Guys amigurumi pattern, I also got a lot of requests for this one as well.
Thinking about Among Us, I’d characterize it as a type of party game like “Mafia.”
You have a set of crewmates and they walk around the space ship carrying out their assignments. But “among them” are 2 imposters they must identify in order to win the game. The imposter goal is to either eliminate the crewmates or play sabotage on the ship.
Every time a dead crewmate is found, the body is reported and the crewmates have a group meeting. Crewmates can also call an emergency meeting as well when they want.
The fun comes during those meetings where everyone checks up on one another. Everyone casts their suspicions or doubts, or reiterates their innocence and sound off on their alibis.
At the end, the votes are cast and whoever has the most votes is ejected and you discover whether they are or were not the imposter. It’s an opportunity for persuading, bluffing, manipulating, or lying. Fun times!
Hmmm… Green is acting “sus”.
The design of the crochet Among Us Amigurumi is pretty simple. It’s a body in a spacesuit with a space helmet. The shape of the crewmate looks like the letter A with the 2 legs. I thought the game makers were clever to also use the crewmate shape as the letter A in their logos.
They also have a backpack they carry around.
The dead body looks like the body cut in half and a bone sticking out the center of it (it’s all very non-gory though). I like the creepy cute vibe of it!
Hope you have fun creating your crewmates with this Among Us Amigurumi pattern! Be careful though when you’re making your whole crew…there may be an imposter or two among them, just waiting to stab a crewmate in the back!

You will now sew the LEG SEAM down by folding it down in the center of the Body to create the 2 leg openings.
From where you left your last st, count 10 sts around. The 10th st is where you will begin to sew the LEG SEAM down. You will sew it across 4 sts. Cut a short piece of same colored yarn to use as a thread to sew down.
Now you should have 2 Leg Openings.
Stuff the Body and stuff as you go.

October 15, 2020 at 10:50 amMy son is having an online Among Us bday party (2020, amirite?) and we are dropping cupcakes off on his “guests” porches. This is exactly the kind of little loot keepsake I was looking for, thank you! I’m going to also try a scaled down version with DMC and a doiley-sized hook for a keychain version!
Ami Amour
October 15, 2020 at 10:54 amHappy Birthday to your son! What a year, and what a wonderful mom you are doing all you can to make his bday be a fun and festive on! 🙌💕 Ooh I’d love to see how it comes out with DMC floss. If you’re on Instagram please do tag me with your project @ami_amour

Sophie
October 24, 2020 at 8:46 amLove this pattern so much, was wondering how I could adjust it to make a bigger crew mate?
Ami Amour
November 2, 2020 at 10:53 amYou can use thicker yarn, or even try double stranding the current yarn that you have for a quick way to make into a bigger crewmate.
Sara
November 2, 2020 at 9:57 amOh wow thank you! This is great! Do you know how I might scale this down to about half size for Xmas ornaments??
Ami Amour
November 2, 2020 at 10:49 amYou might want to try working with some thinner yarn like dk weight or sport weight. If you’re up to more miniature crochet, even embroidery floss can work too! Xmas ornaments sound wonderful!
Lyle
November 8, 2020 at 1:26 pmI was on row 12 when I realized I was backlooping the entire time! Had to start over. Great tutorial! Very easy to follow as a beginner crochet-er. Thanks!

November 17, 2020 at 5:41 amThis pattern is so amazing. My daughter went nuts over it and is asking for more. Gonna be broke by Xmas . Thank you for this amazeballs tutorial, it was brilliant for a first time amigurumi-er. Shame I can’t leave a photo to show you what we came up with, would have loved to have shared the fruits of your teachings!
Ami Amour
November 19, 2020 at 9:32 pmOh thank you, I’d definitely love to see. If you’re on IG you can tag me @ami_amour or you can also tag me on Facebook as well. And I’m so glad to hear your daughter is enjoying your work!
Desiree
November 19, 2020 at 3:41 pmHow would you suggest fixing this to where it would stand up? I did forget to blo on the last row, but it shouldn’t have made that much of a difference should it?
Ami Amour
November 19, 2020 at 9:30 pmHi Desiree! Yes, doing a backloop I feels like gives it a ridge at the end rather than a curve so it’s a bit more helpful for making your amigurumis stand up. But if your amigurumi is already made, I recommend connecting a yarn back onto part of the body and then with a yarn needle, go down the body to the bottom sole of the feet, and take your yarn needle out, and go over a stitch and go back inside the body. And then sew and hide the end. You want it so that when you look at the bottom of the sole, it looks like a black hole, or some of the fabric gets sucked back to create a bit of a dip if that makes sense. Having that dip there I think will make your amigurumi more stable as well. So hopefully that can help! Good luck!

November 22, 2020 at 3:12 amAwsome. My children want me to make these. Sooo happy here. Thanx for sharing
Sarah Bennett
November 30, 2020 at 10:07 amSuper excited to have found this pattern! I recently found out about Among us at a dinner I had attended before , Thanksgiving!! I was thinking about making among us amis as an white elephant gift for someone I know.
Christina
December 6, 2020 at 2:38 amThank you! I had much fun making these for my boys! Easy, clear and great end result! Sending you wishes of good health and happiness 💜💜💜
Kitty
December 20, 2020 at 8:11 pmIs there any way to make it bigger? I like using the regular yarn, but i want to make it bigger for my son.
Ami Amour
December 20, 2020 at 8:13 pmHi, you can try double stranding your yarn and using a larger hook size as well to make it a bit bigger!
Mary-Anne F
January 22, 2021 at 10:09 amLove your patterns! I made a yoshi for my son last year and he still sleeps w it every night! If I want to make a larger one, could I double the pattern? As in, magic circle w 12, and double stitches in each row?
Ami Amour
January 25, 2021 at 10:16 amThat’s awesome to hear! It’s a bit tricky to double the pattern mathematically and it’s not just a simple matter of doubling everything unfortunately. I recommend for an easier way to make a larger doll to either double or triple strand the yarn, or use chunkier yarn. Best of luck to you!
Michelle Stephenson
April 8, 2021 at 1:55 amI’d like to thank you for that suggestion. My grandaughter has requested one abt 12 inches high (small pillow size I’m thinking). Much bigger than these sweeties. . Ideas.. ? I’m in Australia, we have a USA style yarn (4seasons) , 100% acrylic, 200g, (made in turkey) . I’d say its about a 12-14ply…
Ami Amour
April 22, 2021 at 10:17 amI would try using a super chunky size yarn to make a larger amigurumi. Or also try doubling or tripling your yarn strands as well to create a larger yarn to work with.
Darlene
December 13, 2020 at 9:00 pmThank you for the pattern!! I keep seeing the crew members online, now I can make a few for the Grandkids!!

December 16, 2020 at 2:40 pmThank you for sharing! My kids love these guys! Great stocking stuffer..I’ll be sure to tag you once I’m done.
Teesha
December 21, 2020 at 8:17 pmI love this pattern! It’s only the second time I’ve made an amigurumi and it turned out so well!
I was wondering if you’re planning to make patterns for the “hats”. I’m making this as a gift for my partner and he always wears the little wedge of cheese 🧀 but I have no idea how to get a shape like that.
Sara
December 21, 2020 at 11:54 pmI’ve just finished it and it looks absolutely amazing. Mine doesn’t stand on his own but i guess i put too much filling. Anyways i love your work thank you!
Lejla
December 25, 2020 at 11:13 amThank you so much, I’m very satisfied how it come out.

December 26, 2020 at 10:05 pmThank you for sharing your wonderful work. Such easy to follow directions. Making for the Grandkids and niece. Got lots of work to do! God Bless!

January 3, 2021 at 9:58 amI’m excited to make these for my grandkids, they love this game and play it all together, Thank you
Melissa
January 13, 2021 at 12:00 pmThis is the 1st time I ever did amigurumi at all. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I made a red crewmate regular sized then a few of them a bit smaller. My daughter won’t stop playing with them and wants me to make more… especially the dead bodies.
Catherine
February 15, 2021 at 10:46 pmTHANK YOU for the amazing and easy to follow tutorial. I’m recovering from a big accident and having the video to follow is a huge visual aid. I will have one happy little guy. If you make a video of the little dead body please let me know…. your videos are so clear and simple to keep up with.
Ami Amour
February 25, 2021 at 10:56 amSorry for the late reply, but that video of the dead crewmate is also available in my youtube channel as well!

February 27, 2021 at 6:27 pmHi from Malaysia! I just started this crochet journey last week and i found your blog is really helpful! Thank you so much for the tips, pattern, and your videos on youtube are very very helpful to me everytime i encounter some confussion. May i know how do i made this among us but a little bit smaller version? Thank you ami ☺️
Ami Amour
April 22, 2021 at 10:04 amI would just use a thinner yarn to make a smaller version!
Cory
March 3, 2021 at 2:30 pmThank you so much. I was able to make one to match my daughter’s character in the game. I added a little Mohawk to make it match. She absolutely loves it.
Ami Amour
April 22, 2021 at 10:05 amOh I bet that Mohawk looked so cute on her crewmate!
Hayley
March 22, 2021 at 9:29 pmI’m pretty new at crochet but your pattern is easy to follow. When I watch you crochet, you seem to keep your stitches loose but your stuffing doesn’t show through. On mine, I can see the stuffing through the crochet stitches. Do you have any tips for me?
Ami Amour
April 22, 2021 at 10:16 amI would try sizing down to a smaller crochet hook size and see if that helps!
Lorraine Willard
September 8, 2021 at 12:29 pmThanks so much for this pattern. My niece is desperate for one. Lol. She going to love them.
