I just dropped the Pupa. This is ridiculous!

For fans of Rick and Morty, if you haven’t yet seen Roiland’s new Solar Opposites on Hulu, you’re missing out. I HATE EARTH.

This one is dedicated to everyone over at https://reddit.com/r/SolarOpposites. Thanks for your encouragement to publish the pattern for this wild and crazy lil’ guy before he terraforms the Earth.

This pattern design in US crochet terms may not be distributed or sold as your own, but feel free to sell a finished item made from this pattern.

First the Pupa eyes are made, then the bottom base circle, then the body from top to bottom.

As we go, the mouth and arms are made in place once we reach the area where they are located.

This pattern is eight pages of row-by-row directions, and contains many close-up photos of what to do where.

skills: know how to chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), single crochet in front loop only (sc flo which is the loop closest to you), single crochet decrease (sc dec = sc2tog, instructions included), work both flat and in-the-round, read a tapestry/intarsia color chart

As a crochet pattern designer for 20+ years, you can crochet this with the confidence that it has been gone over with a fine tooth comb.

Feel free to contact me with pattern-related questions (that are not technique-based meaning Google-able) and I’ll typically get back to you within 24 hours.

Enjoy, and stay wild.
