Switch Things Up

I enjoyed the tiny scale of this Baby Alien and I love how quickly one comes together.

I recommend trying different color combinations for the scarf because I like the contrast it creates.

I sometimes add a tiny blush to the cheeks for extra personality.

I find using a 2.5 mm hook gives a firm fabric, but I also experiment with slightly larger hooks for a softer finish.

I usually stitch the eyes a second time from the inside to ensure they are secure.

I prefer stuffing gradually to avoid lumps and to shape the head better.

I often pin the ears and scarf in place before sewing to check symmetry.

I like to make a matching tiny blanket or keyring version when I make multiples as gifts.

I sometimes make the scarf slightly wider to look more like a little collar for some color variation.

I encourage you to personalize details like the nose and blush to make each alien unique.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers at the start of rounds can lead to uneven shaping; use a marker at the first stitch of each round. ✗ Overstuffing the body causes the doll to be too rigid and unable to sit; stuff gradually and avoid packing the bottom too firmly. ✗ Forgetting to change yarn color exactly at the stated round will shift the scarf line; change color right after completing the round indicated. ✗ Not keeping a long tail when fastening off for sewing makes assembly harder; always leave a long tail to sew pieces securely.

Info :

Do not fasten off. The length of my scarf was around 3 inches and the width was almost 4.5 inches. You should have ended up with a shape that resembles a cup cozy. Fold in the top portion of the scarf in half making the scarf layers twice thick.

Info :

Put your hook through a stitch of the outer edge of the scarf and pull the loop from the inner edge through to the outer edge stitch.

Info :

Now continue stitching both edges together until you get to the end. Fasten off with a sl st and keep a medium sized tail. With the tail hide it in between the two sewn folds. The scarf will not be sewn onto the doll. You should be able to take it on and off of the doll.

— SCARF EDGE :

Info :

Now it is time for the bone colored edging on the scarf. With the bone colored yarn, pull a loop through the top edge of the scarf and ch 1

RND 4 :

Info :

Fasten off with a sl st and keep a long tail. Sew the bone colored flap to the taupe scarf to keep the flap down. Where you see the double crochet on the edge, that marks the front of the torso so when placing it on the alien make sure that portion is facing the front.

— ASSEMBLY AND DETAILS :

Info :

Starting with the arms, you can measure where you want to place them by putting on the scarf and seeing where you want the arms to stick out.

Info :

Once you figure out where you want to place the arms, which should be on either side of the torso, take the scarf off and sew on the arms where you measured you wanted them.

Info :

Put the scarf back on and now measure where you want to place the ears. The ears should sit right above the scarf and on either side of the head. I used pins to help me figure out a good placement for them. Sew on each ear.

Info :

For the feet, sew them onto the bottom torso of the alien right up front.

Info :

Take a medium length of soft green yarn and make a nose on the alien's face by sewing on top of two holes in between the eyes.

Info :

With the blush on your make-up brush or q-tip lightly place pink coloring on the inside of each ear.

Info :

VOILA! You have yourself a Chibi and most of all Kawaii Baby Alien!!!

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach arms to the torso on either side beneath the scarf opening; measure placement by putting the scarf on and marking where they should stick out before sewing.
  • Sew ears on each side of the head right above the scarf; use pins to test placement and make sure ears are symmetrical.
  • Sew feet onto the bottom front of the lower torso so the doll can sit upright; use the long tail saved when fastening off for secure stitching.
  • Sew the bone colored flap of the scarf to the taupe scarf to keep it folded down; align the double crochet edge to face the front of the torso.
  • Embroider a small nose between the eyes using a medium length of soft green yarn by sewing over two small holes.
  • Lightly add pink blush inside each ear with a makeup brush or q-tip for subtle inner-ear coloring.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially during increases and decreases.
  • 💡Stuff gradually while crocheting; avoid overstuffing the base so the amigurumi can sit upright.
  • 💡When placing safety eyes, insert them between rounds 10-11 spaced out by 8 stitches as noted to achieve the correct expression.
  • 💡Keep long yarn tails when fastening off pieces you plan to sew on later; they make assembly neater and easier.
  • 💡Fold the taupe scarf layers before stitching the edges together so it resembles a cup-cozy and is removable.

This chibi Baby Alien pattern is a delightful little project that makes a perfect pocket-sized gift. Follow the step-by-step rounds and photos to achieve a neat finish, then add blush and a little nose for personality. 🧶🪄💚

FAQs

What size will the finished Baby Alien be?

The finished baby alien amigurumi is about 10.16 cm (4 inches) tall and about 10.16 cm (4 inches) wide across the torso. Size may vary slightly depending on yarn and tension.

Can I use a different yarn weight or hook?

Yes, but changing yarn weight or hook will change the finished size. If you use a different yarn, choose an appropriate hook and be aware the scarf and eye placement may need adjusting.

Where should I place the safety eyes?

Insert 15 mm safety eyes between rounds 10-11 of the body, spaced by 8 stitches between each eye, as indicated in the pattern for the shown expression.

Is the scarf sewn onto the doll?

No, the scarf is constructed as a removable piece that is stitched into a folded cup-cozy shape; a small bone-colored flap is sewn to keep it folded but the full scarf is removable so you can take it on and off.
