Amigurumi Alien
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice
GAUGE: EXACT GAUGE IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THIS PROJECT.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: | sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook. |
NOTES: Alien is worked in continuous rnds; do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed.

| Amigurumi Alien Reviewed by jennifer reichert on 2008-07-07 |

| This pattern was super easy and turned out adorable! I made to go with a baby gift and stuck a bell in with the stuffing to make it a baby rattle. I have had several requests to make more! Great pattern for a beginner, although I did have to improvise the last round on the body... it seems something was left out.
