Amigurumi Alien Reviewed by Kayla Walters on 2011-08-25
This was really fun and easy to make! My alien turned out soo cute. I didn't stuff his arms or legs though since they are so small and I added a little blue heart on my alien just to give him a little more cuteness (not that he really needed it!). I was a little unclear about how to attach the antenas, so I just used one piece of yarn, weaved it in and tied knots to make it stay. Overall, I am really happy with the pattern and love how my alien turned out (he's a gift for my 3-year-old step-son).
