Much like many people around March/April, I read Project Hail Mary, saw images and trailers for the movie, and became obsessed.
This is the result of that obsession, four months later – I’ve crocheted myself a huggable Rocky.
I combined the book and movie designs for him, for a few reasons – book Rocky’s body was going to be easier to crochet, and I love movie Rocky’s odd, smaller leg so much.
Working out how to crochet a triangular prism was definitely a challenge, but I love how the whole leg looks!
Like Appa, I used cotton yarn and cotton stuffing to make him. Unlike Appa, he’s a little bit smaller (which my arms are thanking me for!).
(I think he likes flowers – you probably don’t get many on Erid.)
Also unlike Appa, I did write a pattern as I was making Rocky. I would like to write it up and release it here at some point, but please let me know if it is something you would like to see! If there’s interest, I’ll try and prioritise it over Lewt (my other crochet pattern that is (ahem) still in development).
Anyways, see ya!
