No Gauge

*All of pattern is worked right side out. Use any colors you like. Or, make it in ww yarn, with a size F hook. It’s your alien! Gauge is not important. DO NOT JOIN AT THE END OF A ROUND!!!*

Key:
sc: single crochet
inc: increase
dec: decrease
ch: chain
st: stitch

When done with alien:
Give him to the little astronaut in your life as he is.
Crochet a chain long enough to go around your neck. Thread it through the neck of your alien. ALIEN NECKLACE!
Take a key ring, then chain 10. Attach to the alien. ALIEN KEYCHAIN!
Attach a pin to his back. ALIEN PIN!
Make a flying saucer purse to keep him in. (I’m hoping to get the pattern out for this soon!)
Make him lots of friends, then write a story about them.
