Crocheting The Among Us Dead Body

Materials Needed:

White yarn (for the bone)
Dark colored yarn (for the body)
Crochet hook (size not specified in transcript)
Stitch markers
Yarn needle for sewing

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
sc: single crochet
inc: increase (two sc in one stitch)
dec: decrease (combine two stitches into one)
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)
BLO: back loop only
FO: fasten off

Gauge:

Gauge is typically not critical for amigurumi since they are stuffed toys; however, what's important is that you work with a tight enough gauge to ensure the stuffing does not show through the stitches. This usually means using a hook size smaller than what the yarn label recommends for the weight of the yarn.

Helpful Tips:

Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of rounds since amigurumi is typically worked in continuous rounds without joining.
Always count your stitches. It is easy to gain or lose stitches in amigurumi which can affect the shape.
Work through both loops of each stitch unless instructed to work in the front or back loop only.

Step by step Guide

Bone (Make 2):

Round 1: Chain 2. Into the first chain, do 4 single crochet stitches (sc). Use a stitch marker to mark the end of the round.
Round 2: Do two sc in each stitch around for a total of 8 sc.
Rounds 3-4: Do one sc in each stitch around, maintaining 8 sc.

After completing the first bone part (Part A), fasten off. Repeat Rounds 1-4 for the second bone part (Part B), but do not fasten off.

Bone Assembly:

Using Part B (with yarn still attached), join it to Part A with a single crochet stitch across 4 stitches.

Body:

With dark colored yarn, chain 2.
Round 1: Do 6 sc into the very first chain. Use a stitch marker to mark the end of the round.
Round 2: Two sc in each stitch around for a total of 12 sc.
Round 3: Pattern is "two sc in next stitch, one sc in next stitch" and repeat around for a total of 18 sc. Finish the last stitch with a color-change if desired (instructions for a color change are not clear in the transcript).
Round 4: Pattern is "two sc in next stitch, one sc in the next two stitches" and repeat around for a total of 24 sc.
Round 5: Work only in the back loop and do one sc in each stitch around, maintaining 24 sc.
Rounds 6-10: Maintain 24 sc in each round.

Half Backpack:

Chain 9 with the same color as the body.
Round 1: Do 8 sc across the chain, then continue on the other side of the chain with 8 sc for a total of 16 sc.
Work in the back loop only for one round, maintaining 16 sc.
Rounds 2-6: Maintain 16 sc in each round.
For closure, cut a long tail, stuff lightly, and sew it closed.

Backpack Attachment and Finishing:

Sew the half-backpack to the body, then close and weave in the ends.
Repeat the leg pattern for the other side and finish stuffing before closing the leg opening.
