Glorp - the Alien 
Gleebirp xlotyl glirp klnoppik!  




If you need help along the way contact me help@mommymadecrochet.com


Materials

  • Size 4 chenille yarn in color of your choice (I used a yarn I found at a thrift store, use any yarn you want, adjust hook accordingly 👽)
  • Materials to embroider mouth - I used a small amt of embroidery thread
  • Fibers for felting eyes or embroider
  • Fiberfill
  • F hook (or hook you need!)
  • Scissors
  • Needle (to weave in ends/create features)
  • Small amt of cardboard to insert into base of feet
  • Pipe cleaners - I folded 3 in half and gently braided for stiffness in neck


Abbreviations

  • Ch: chain
  • Sl st: slip stitch
  • Sc: single crochet
  • Sc2tog: single crochet 2 sts together; decrease
  • Hdc: half double crochet
  • Camel st- crochet in the loop behind blo (Moogly has a great tutorial!)
  • F.o. : finish off


Notes

All terms American.   If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.  As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don't forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson 2020.



You may do whatever you like with your completed Glorp, phone home, prob something, sell them or even give them as a gift!  I only ask that you please not claim this pattern as your own, I worked hard to design my Glorp:)
