Switch Things Up

I like to experiment with slightly different yarn weights and hook sizes, but keep the 2.5 mm hook if you want the original tiny size.

I sometimes add a tiny wire in each arm to make the arms slightly poseable — it changes the feel but can look adorable.

I enjoy using a darker taupe or variegated brown for the torso to give the scarf contrast a different look.

I recommend adding a small felt mouth or embroidered mouth if you want more facial expression.

I like to change eye size (12 mm or 10 mm) for a different scale of cuteness, though placement must be adjusted slightly.

I often crochet the scarf a stitch or two longer for larger heads to make it sit more naturally.

I sometimes embroider light eyebrow lines to change the character’s expression subtly.

I always use pins to check placement before sewing — it saves a lot of rework later.

I enjoy making a matching tiny blanket or cup cozy with the leftover taupe yarn as a set.

I recommend practicing the ear shaping on a scrap before committing to the final pieces.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when joining the scarf ends can result in a twisted loop; check carefully before joining and place a marker. ✗ Overstuffing the head early makes shaping the lower body and sitting position difficult; stuff gradually and moderately for a flat base. ✗ Forgetting to switch colors exactly where instructed can shift the scarf or torso color bands; place a marker at the color change round to maintain consistency. ✗ Not securing safety eyes tight before stuffing may cause misplacement; insert eyes between the specified rounds and secure washers firmly. ✗ Sewing arms or ears without pinning can lead to asymmetry; always pin and check placement with the scarf on first. ✗ Neglecting to hide yarn tails inside folds or seams can leave visible ends; weave tails between layers or hide them in sewn folds.

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.

Infos :

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. 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 just under the scarf, sewing the long tail ends securely into the body rounds.
  • Sew the feet to the lower front of the torso so the alien can sit upright on a flat surface.
  • Pin and sew ears above the scarf on either side of the head for symmetrical placement before permanently stitching.
  • Place the taupe scarf on the torso and sew the bone-colored flap to the scarf to keep it folded down; make sure the double crochet marker faces the front.
  • Sew a small nose with a short length of soft green yarn between the eyes and apply light blush inside ears with a q-tip or small brush.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use safety eyes rated for your finished project and secure the washers tightly before stuffing to ensure safety.
  • 💡Work gently when stuffing the head and torso so the doll maintains a stable flat bottom to sit upright.
  • 💡Keep long yarn tails when fastening off the arms, feet, and ears to allow for secure sewing in place later.
  • 💡Do not overstuff the torso; stuffing too tightly will prevent the doll from sitting properly and may distort stitch placement.
  • 💡When joining the scarf ends, ensure the loop is not twisted otherwise the final fit will not sit correctly on the body.

This chibi Baby Alien pattern produces a tiny, lovable amigurumi with a removable scarf and sweet ear blush accents. Perfect for gifting or decorating your shelf. 🧶✨ Keep it small, cute, and proudly handmade!

FAQs

What size will the finished Baby Alien be?

The finished Baby Alien is about 10.16 cm (4 inches) tall and about 10.16 cm (4 inches) wide across the torso, though size may vary with different yarn or hook sizes.

Can I substitute yarn or hook size?

Yes, you can use different worsted-weight yarns or adjust hook size, but expect the finished size and stitch tension to change accordingly; use the same yarn and 2.5 mm hook for the original size.

Where should I place the safety eyes for correct appearance?

Insert 15 mm safety eyes between rounds 10-11 of the body, spaced out by 8 stitches between each eye, as noted in the pattern for natural placement.
