Strange Planet Being Crochet Tutorial & Free Pattern

In this video, you’re going to learn how to make this fluffy alien friend. This project comes with a free pattern and minimum sewing and it’s very easy to make. In the original pattern, I used cotton yarn and a smaller hook but in this tutorial, I decided to try and make the alien with velvet yarn and a bigger hook. I really like the result! In this video, you’re going to learn how to join the legs and arms of the alien. You’re also going to learn how to embroider the eyes. This blue Strange Planet Being is going to be a perfect present for a friend that enjoys the comics and memes.

The pattern is free to use and you can check it out down below.
