Crochet Baby Alien Plushie Tutorial

This plushie can be crocheted following a detailed tutporial below. The design includes modification in features to get a round and chubby body, a cloak, and tiny eyes that bring the alien to life.

The method for joining the cloak to the back loops is effective, giving the plushie a clean and professional look.

The tutor suggests it’s a great project for market sales or as a handmade gift for friends. You'll need basic crochet supplies like a 4mm hook, stitch markers, and chunky yarn.

Starting the Head: The head begins with six single crochets in a magic ring, increasing up to 42 stitches in seven rounds. The plushie is built with alternating single crochets and increases.
Body and Color Change: After the head, the tutorial moves to the body with a color change to beige for the alien's overalls. Round 13 involves working into the back loops to create a defined edge for attaching the cloak later.
Adding Safety Eyes: The eyes are placed between rounds 6 and 7, approximately six stitches apart.
Finishing Touches: The tutorial concludes with making the ears, cloak, and final assembly. Ears are created using a magic ring with single crochets and sewn onto the plushie.
