 Introduction
I would like to thank you, for choosing to purchase this pattern. I hope that you will be fully satisfied
with it and, above all, that the effect of your work will be exactly as you imagined. Remember that if
you have any questions you can email me: krawka.blog@gmail.com.

Crochet alien when finished is 21 cm tall (8.2 inches). I've put wires in his arms, legs and tail, but if
you are doing this as a toy for a child (My little son loves monsters and aliens, but he is afraid of
squirrels :) I strongly recommend you to skip wiring, make a safe plush toy instead and sew
everything twice as firmly as you would normally do especially nails and teeth.

 Materials
List of all the materials you will need for this project:

 yarn ( I use 55% cotton yarn which measures 174 yards (159 meters) for 50 g, weight Sport /
5 ply (12 wpi), Gauge 24 to 30 st is 4 inches (10 cm)
You can use any colors you like , but here is the list of colors I used:

o graphite (very dark grey) -base color

o light grey - belly and head patches
o black - outline and lines on patches
o white - nails, teeth

If you want to know more about the yarns or colors I chose, send me an email.

 3,0 mm (D) hook,

 2,0 mm (B) hook for nails and teeth
 wires - I've put wires in hands, legs and tail - it would be best if you would have a wire with
black outer jacket.
 cotton wool or other stuffing
 old black stocking :) It is not essential, but it would be best here to put the white stuffing into
a black sock, this way stuffing will not be visible from the outside.
 needle, thread, scissors, etc.

 We have all the parts we need. Let's sew them
together.

With black yarn make lines on head patch

(see the photo for reference)

Sew the patch on top of the head. Please remember

the back part of the head (where you finished making
the head) should be pointing down.

(see the photo for reference)

Stuff the lower mouth but only to the half.

Sew it to the head.

When sewing this side part of the mouth I strongly

recommend you use a single strand taken from the
yarn you used to make the part - this way sewing will
be that much better.

Take the side part and put it between jaw and head.

(see the photo for reference)

Sew the side part to the mouth and head.

Sew it on the other side of the head too.

 Head with mouth should look like this.

Cut the loose yarn from 10 teeth

With white thread sew 4 teeth on the lower mouth,

sew it as firmly as you can.

(see the photo for refernce)

Sew six teeth on the upper jaw (head).

(see the photo)

With black yarn make lines on the belly patch just like
you did with the head one.

Sew the belly to the body.

 Put the hook in the middle of finger and pull the end
of the nail through.

(see the photo for reference)

Sew the nail to the finger and cut the loose end of
yarn from the other side.

Make 12 fingers.

Stuff the foot (It's the marked part). You don't have to
stuff the fingers.

Sew three fingers to the open end of the foot. Do that

with the other foot two.

 Prepare a wire for the legs if you want to use it. It
should go all the way through the body and neck.

For each leg we will use foot we made earlier and two
parts called 'leg' earlier in the pattern. Stuff one of
them very tightly (in will be lower) and the other just a
little bit (it will be higher)

Put the leg parts on the wire. Foot firstly than more
stuffed leg and less stuffed leg on the end.

Sew each part of the leg to each other.

Do the second leg too.

Put the leg wires inside the body and through the
neck. If you used stocking it might be a bit hard, you
need to put the wire between the stocked stuffing and
crochet.

Sew the legs to the body.

 Prepare a wire for the tail. It should be a bit longer
than the tail and the ending together.

Stuff the end of the tail and the tail around wire.

Put the protruding wire inside the body at the back.

Sew the tail to the body.

neck like the one from the legs.

Stuff hands and sew three fingers to each of them.

Put the hand and then stuffed arm on the wire.

Sew hand to the arm.

Place the arm and put the wire in the body through
the neck.

Sew arm to the body.

 Stuff the neck more if needed.

carefully put the head on the wires - again you need

to put wires between the stocked and crocheted
layer.

Sew the head.

Stuff the spines. Remember we will use two columns

of them each column in that order: S spine, L spine, S
spine. So the larger one in the middle.

Start with sewing the upper spines.
