Alien in
Spaceship
I used
worsted weight yarn and a 3.75 mm hook. Weights below are based on worsted
weight yarn, which has about 50 yards per ounce, in case you want to figure out
yardage for another weight of yarn. (The alien in the yellow spaceship is made with two strands of a lightweight DK and an H hook)
Alien Color: .25 oz
Spaceship
main color: .35 oz
Spaceship
Accent color: .15 oz

Change to
spaceship color. In Round 12, use spaceship accent color for 3-dc bobbles (BOB)
Place 1 eye
between rows 5 & 6, centered between the antenna. Place two more eyes
between rows 7/8, with 2 stitches between. Embroider a smile below the eyes.
Optional: you could just use one big eye. It’s an alien… have fun and be
imaginative! Once eyes and embroidery are done, stuff the head.
