Sew the body to the head.

Hands (Make Two)

Do not stuff the hands, only the palms.

  1. 6 sc into magic ring
  2. inc * 6 (12)
  3. 12 sc * 4 rows
  4. (1 sc, dec) * 4 (8)
  5. 8 sc * 11 rows

Panties

Chain 52-55 sc (adjust to fit the waist circumference). Knit in rotary rows, adding lift loops: 1 loop in front of sc rows and 3 loops in front of dc rows.

  1. 52 sc
  2. 52 sc
  3. 52 dc
  4. 52 sc
  5. 52 dc

Alternate sc and dc rows until the desired length is achieved. Sew the edges together, put the shorts on the alien, and stitch between the legs to secure. For a better fit, thread yarn along the top edge and tie.

Antennas (Make Two)

  1. 6 sc into magic ring
  2. inc * 6 (12)
  3. 12 sc * 4 rows
  4. (1 sc, dec) * 4 (8)

Eyes

You can improvise with the eyes, making them convex or flat. For the eyes in the photo, crochet 3 lifting loops, then work 19 dc into a magic ring. Adjust according to your yarn type.
