Roberta the Astronaut

Amigurumi Pattern Designed by Abby Sy

Introduction
Create Roberta the Astronaut with this pattern! To see the photos in more detail, just zoom in on your PDF reader!
The difficulty level of this pattern is Intermediate. This pattern in written in US crochet terminology. The finished toy
measures to be about 7.5 in (19cm) tall.
I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for this toy, but you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to
the weight of your yarn. For this pattern, I used roughly 40g of Misty Grey (a little less than one skein of yarn), 18g of
Dolphin Blue (< half a skein of yarn), 10g of Melon Sorbet (< 1), and 35g Champagne White.

Gauge: 5 Round Circle = 2” with a 3.5mm hook

5-Round Circle:
1 6sc in magic circle
2 (inc) x 6 [12]
3 (sc, inc) x 6 [18]
4 sc, inc, (2sc, inc) x 5, sc [24]
5 (3sc, inc) x 6 [30]
Gauge isn’t super important for amigurumi, but I included it just in case you want to check your gauge. Being a little off
should not affect the final product too much.
Please read through the entire pattern before you proceed in case there is anything you do not understand. If you come across
any issues with the pattern or do not understand something from the pattern, please do not hesitate to email me at

*Please note that the patterns are worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.

Backpack Back Panel
with Champagne White yarn

Down the side: 17sc, across the bottom: sc3 in the corner,
14sc, sc3, up the side: 17sc, sc3 into the first st of Row 19
(this is now the end of your round)

Connecting the Back Panel to the Backpack:

• Line up the corners of your back panel to the corners of your backpack. Working into the next st of
your back panel, insert your hook under the FLO. Then, insert your hook under the BLO for the
corresponding stitch on your backpack (not the corner stitches), sl st. Continue doing so until you get
to a corner.

• When you get to the corner, you will be working the 3-stitch corner of the back panel with the 1-stitch
corner of the backpack.

Do so by: (inserting your hook into the next back panel stitch (FLO), the backpack’s corner stitch (BLO),
YO and draw up a loop) x 3 until you have done that for all 3 of the back-panel corner stitches. You
should have 4 loops on your hook, YO and draw the loop through all 4 of the loops on your hook.

• Continue slip stitching all the way around, making sure to stuff the backpack before completely closing
the hole off.
• When you finish the final sl st, fasten off and weave tails in.

• Pin the Arms to the side, making sure to position the thumbs so that they are pointing forward, and
sew in place.

• Connect the ends of the Shoulder Strap together by sewing the ends to each other towards the back of
the Head. Sew the Strap onto the centre of the backpack. I sewed mine on 7 rows from the top.

• Lay the Belt Strap across the belly to determine the placement. Sew both ends of the Belt Strap onto
the Backpack. For the end that doesn’t have a tail for sewing, just weave the tail end (from the end
that does) through the Backpack and have it come out on the other side.

• Pin the Shoulder Patches onto the shoulders and sew in place.
• Pin the Leg Patches onto the legs and sew in place.

 • With Champagne White yarn, embroider a curved line and a dot (think a really curvy exclamation
mark) onto the top right area of the Head.
• Optional: Cut out some felt shapes and glue them onto the Chest Control Panel.
