I’m absolutely thrilled with how cute that these little aliens turned out!!! Aren’t they just out of this world?! (OK, so I’m not great with jokes, LOL). But, I’m sure that you will definitely want to make this cute little Alien Crochet Pattern!
Not only did I make 1, I made 3! A whole little trio of aliens. A blue one, green one and even a cute little pink one!
I made 2 out of regular #4 Worsted weight yarn and 1 out of Premier Yarns Parfait Chunky yarn. The worsted weight ones are approx. 12” tall and the chunky one is approx. 20” tall.
I cannot get over how soft and squishy this alien is made out of the Parfait Chunky Yarn!
I absolutely love it! Isn’t it the cutest?!
They work up super quickly and the pattern is pretty simple.
