Little Alien Amigurumi Free Pattern
Written by Freddy Goat Design Team
Are Aliens Halloween-y?
While making this little alien amigurumi, here at Freddy Goat, we got into a long running dispute — are aliens Halloween-y??? This all arose when Goat tried to market our free alien pattern as a Halloween give-away.
The dispute goes something like this:
Goat: They are totally Halloween-y. They are scary.
Freddy: I don’t think they’re scary. Plus, roaches are scary. Are they Halloween-y?
Goat: People dress up as aliens for Halloween.
Freddy: You can dress up as a doctor for Halloween. That doesn’t make doctors canonically Halloween-y.
As you see, we just go round and round, so we’ll leave it up to you to decide. If you have strong feelings about it, drop us a comment.
Whether you’re making Lil Alien for Halloween or not, we hope you enjoy the pattern!
Before we get started, this is what you need:
- 2.75mm(US C-2) crochet hook
- Aran or worsted weight yarn:
• Color A (lower body and legs)
• Color B (head stripes and suckers)
• Color C (headstripes)
• Color D (tongue) - Tapestry needle
- Stuffing
- Snap eyes
5-rnd gauge circle = 1.75”/4.5cm Gauge isn’t terribly important in amigurumi, so it is okay to use a slightly larger hook if that is all you have. However, you don’t want to see stuffing through the stitches, so don’t get too big.
- Magic ring (MR)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Increase (inc)
- Invisible decrease (invdec)
- Change color
- Invisible join
- Work in BLO
- Draw closed
