Materials: Yarn: Worsted weight in 3 colors: Color 1 (Alien) Color 2 (UFO seat, legs, dome top) Color 3 (UFO body) Crochet Hook (Size G) Tapestry needle Felt for eyes and dots on UFO (or your preferred type of eyes) Fiberfill (or your preferred type of stuffing) Felt glue (optional) Sewing thread to match Color 2. All parts of the alien and UFO are made in the spiral, there are no joined rounds. Mark your rounds with a stitch marker or safety pin. Gauge is not important as long as you keep your tension even through the entire piece. Using a smaller yarn and hook will give you a smaller doll, as well as increasing the size of yarn and hook will give you a bigger doll.
Abbreviations: st - stitch sc - single crochet inc - increase (place 2 stitches in next stitch) sc2tog - single crochet 2 stitches together Lines done in blue are stitches or special directions that are not repeated through out the pattern.
