Tek the baby alien
By Teresa Alvarez (May 2012)
About copyright: It's really something great when people like what I have designed. You can sell the final item or whatever you like, but it would be nice to reference where you found the pattern! If there is anything you do not understand or there are any mistakes, please, send me a message! As you can see in the way I write, English is not my first language. So, you could come across some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies@. Sorry and my apologies! I wasn't sure about writing this pattern, the reason is very simple: it's very easy, even it can be said that it isn't a proper pattern... The novelty is that I have used fabric yarn =t-shirt yarn = trapillo =trapilho = tek-tek = tirela. Only a few meters and 20 minutes later, the alien was born. ABOUTYARN: Fabric yarn, trapillo yarn. Around 15. ABOUTGAUGE: It is not important, as far as you are consistent with your tension. ABOUTHOOK: I've used a 6 mm hook. YOU WILL NEED: Yarn fabric. Two black eyes. Stuffing. Tapestry needle. Black yarn for the mouth
ABOUTCROCHETTERMS:
I've followed the US terminology. Stitch: st Chain: ch Slip stitch: sl st Single crochet: sc FLO: Front Loop Only BLO: Back Loop Only

All the pattern is worked in spirals, so do not join at the end/beginning of a row. Body Round 1: magic ring, 6 sc (alternatively, 2 ch and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook) Round 2: 2sc in next 6 st, (12 sts) Round 3: [2sc in next stitch, 1sc in next st.] repeat 6 times (18 sts) Round 4: sc in each st across (18 sts) Round 5: [2sctog, sc in next 1st.] repeat 6 times (12 sts) Round 6: [2sctog] repeat 6 times (6 sts) Stuff body Round 7: [ch 5, sl st in 2nd chain from hook and in remaining ch until the base is reached, sl st in any st of previous round] repeat 4 times
