We will now start working on the legs. To start off you need to sc until you reach the middle of the body, it should only be around 10-12 sc to do so. Ch 7. Use stitch markers to help you split the circle into two, since we have 42 stitches for the body each leg should be 21 sc. Using stitch markers will help you know which sc on the other side you should join your chains to.

 Assembly::  Assembly Here are all your different parts, let’s put them together now!  now!  Use head to pinstheir to attachpearlized all the parts intended places on the body, this will make sewing easier since they won’t move around as much. Cut a piece of black felt into the shape of a mouth that would fit your alien friend and glue it on with the hot glue gun. When working on the eyes consider the types of eyes you will be using. If you’re sewing on buttons then you can leave that to the very end, but, if you’re using safety eyes then you should insert them in place before you completely sew the eyes to the face.

Buttons

Safety eyes
