My digital game interests and my physical craft interests collide with surprising regularity, though. This is the 21st century, after all, so instead of joining groups that meet in person in church halls, I am in a crochet-specific Discord group as well as subscribed to several different crochet subreddits. And if there is one thing I have learned from them over the last few weeks, it is that people cannot stop making the crewmates from secret murder gameAmong Us.

This does not sound a concept someone would play a round of and then immediately go “I MUST RENDER THIS IN A WOOL/ACRYILIC BLEND!”. And yet, this is what you get if you search for ‘Among Us’ onr/crochet:
I think the popularity of Among Us “amigurumi” (for so these little stuffed figurines are named, after the Japanese art of crocheting little creatures out of yarn) is that a) the Among Us spacebeans are somehow very expressive in spite, or perhaps because of, their blank features, b) they are very cute little fellows, and c) they are an easy shape to fashion out of, well, most things. Crochet would be my go to, but you could also make a crewmate out of mashed potato or hair collected from brushing your cat. That would be weird of you to do, but I’m not judging you, I’m just saying, youcoulddo that.
Also, everyone has much more consistent yarn tension and stitch size than I do.
As a parting note, I want to venture that you, reading this, would be able to make a crocheted Among Us crewmate even if you’ve never crocheted anything before. There are so many patterns onEtsyandRavelry, too, even fortiny accessoriesfor your tiny wool friend. G’wan, admit it. You’re sort of tempted, aren’t you?
