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.
