Rick and Morty is one of my guilty pleasures. The first episode I ever saw was the Pickle Rick one where Rick becomes a pickle and can still do amazing things. Rick is so arrogant that it’s weird to say how fun his character is to watch.

As with a lot of cartoon characters, I had the thought – as many crocheters do – that I could crochet Pickle Rick. So here is the pattern to make your own Pickle Rick.

Need: dark green yarn, worsted weight

Hook size: 4mm or whatever size works best with your yarn

Suggestions for Rick’s facial features:

You can either use black eyes you can paint white and add the black dot for a pupil, or a small amount of white and black yarn to make them out of yarn.

Blue felt or blue roving(very small piece for eyebrows or a small amount of light blue yarn, or thread)
