Little Green Man Space Alien Applique
or Small Mask
By Debbie Williams
Size G hook
Worsted weight yarn
Note: you can probably do the pattern in crochet thread with a smaller hook like # 7, but I have not tested it.
Rnd 1: ch 1, 9 sc in ring, sl st in first sc, to join.
Rnd 2: ch 1, 2 sc in ea of first 3 sc, ch 5 (for eye), skip next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, ch 8 (for mouth), 2 sc in next sc, ch 5 (for other eye), skip next 2 sc, sl st in first sc of this round, to join.
Rnd 3: ch 1, sc in same as joining and next 5 scs, 5 scs around ch 5 of eye, dec over next 2 scs, sc in next 8 chs of mouth, dec over next 2 scs,5 sc around ch5 sp for next eye , join to top of 1st stitch
Turn (do not ch1) sl st in 2 scs, turn (you're back tracking here)
Rnd 4: ch1, sk 1 sc, sc in next 9 scs, sl st in next sc
Rnd 5: ch 1, sk 1 sc,sc in next 8 scs, sl st in next sc
Rnd 6: ch 1, sk 1 sc, sc in next 7 scs, sl st in next sc
Rnd 7: ch 1, sk 1 sc, sc in next 6, sl st in next sc
Rnd 8: edge-ch 1, turn, sc in next 19 scs /end rows, 2 scs in next sc (bottom of mouth) sc in next 11 scs, join 30 scs not counting turn ch. Finish off. Weave in and ends.
Extra Tip:
If you would like to turn this into a little mask, go around edge again in sc until desired "bowl effect " is reached. Tie a piece of yarn to each side (near top of each eye)
