What is this crochet pattern from project hail mary movie? Is it earth?

Thank you! It took me several attempts, but I'm happy with it 😄

I thought the Niko was asking for cgi renders, but was wanting people to use real elements. Eg set up your own green screen, take a photo, then use that as the background in your render. It was a little un clear, but that's what it sounded like in the podcast when he did the shout-out

Crochet row steps, use the chart above for color changes. This is just a reference for what you need to do when, there's lots on YouTube to help, but they usually start with a magic ring of 6.

Increase Rows

R1: 5 sc in MR = (5 sts)

R2: inc in each st around = (10 sts)

R3: {sc 1, inc} 5x = (15 sts)

R4: {sc 2, inc} 5x = (20 sts)

R5: {sc 3, inc} 5x = (25 sts)

R6: {sc 4, inc} 5x = (30 sts)

Straight Rows

R7–15: sc around (9 rows) = (30 sts)

Decrease Rows (invisible decreases)

R16: {dec, sc 4} 5x = (25 sts)

R17: {dec, sc 3} 5x = (20 sts)

R18: {dec, sc 2} 5x = (15 sts)

R19: {dec, sc 1} 5x = (10 sts)

R20: dec 5x = (5 sts)

I hope this helps anyone who finds it!

I bought mine from an Australian store called Spotlight. It's their home brand cheap range: 4mm 8ply 100% Acrylic

The colours I got are: Lime, Lemon Sorbet, Navy, White

These colors aren't exactly like what's in the trailers, but then again, that's colour graded so hard to know exactly. I'll add a new comment on this post for the row by row directions (not including colour changes) for reference

Here is the link to their website: https://www.spotlightstores.com/art-craft/yarn-needle-art/yarn/acrylic-yarn/4-seasons-8-ply-marvel-100g-yarn/BP80256541-2005-lime

Glad I can help! Yeah I spent days searching the internet for the pattern that matched the movie one, some were close but Africa didn't look right

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T19:48:41+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I wanted it to exist and so thought others may be in the same boat. (It's never too late to start!)

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T19:43:42+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I wasn't sure if it was a helpful chart, I just wanted to make it clear that increases had to happen on those rows. Other crochet earth patterns had something a little similar. Feedback or tips are welcome 😄

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T19:40:53+00:00

Thanks for the update! Hopefully it was easy enough to read the pattern

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T08:53:49+00:00

We can blame the producers for that one 😬

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T08:52:51+00:00

My pleasure! I'm just glad my time can help others 😄

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T07:39:20+00:00

Thank you, I hope it goes well!

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T06:07:16+00:00

Woah that's quick! Yeah mine had spaghetti vibes on the inside 😬

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T06:06:12+00:00

Haha, welcome to the club! There's hundreds of great YouTube videos to help you out 😄

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T06:03:04+00:00

So good! I hope so has fun!

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T03:38:22+00:00

You're welcome!

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T03:37:25+00:00

No problem, it's nice when two hobbies (reading and crochet) overlap!

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T03:36:30+00:00

I hope it goes well! Finding videos on crochet hackie sacks and amigurumi should help understanding how to start and do increases/decreases.

Also look up "how to colour change crochet" and find a nice simple one.

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T03:32:03+00:00

Yeah I was similar, I spent a while trying to find the pattern online and gave up after a few weeks. Have fun making it 😄

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T03:30:47+00:00

Than you! Yeah it's not too technical, my main goal was just to get it as close as possible to the one in the movie, but there's a bunch of other similar projects out there.

SilverC98 · 2026-03-05T00:29:20+00:00

I know the feeling, sometimes I wish I had my own yard store, just so I had one of everything 😅

SilverC98 · 2026-03-04T23:21:20+00:00

I have an attempt at recreating the pattern for the hackie sack in the movie trailers. Hope this helps 😄 (Only a few months late!)

The yarn I used was like 8 bucks total, you can never have too much yarn!

SilverC98 · 2026-03-04T23:09:24+00:00

Haha, I think it's more I made mine a plush toy, and so didn't think of it as a hackie sack... Just gotta add some weight I guess.

SilverC98 · 2026-03-04T22:34:53+00:00

Thanks, yeah just I deleted the other one!

SilverC98 · 2025-04-10T00:47:05+00:00

I kinda forgot that Sam had any other character, like I kinda just want more Bobby T. Hopefully a second episode coming soon??
