It's a Polyp...really.

THIS is what happens when I procrastinate:

ALIEN POLYP PATTERN

Okay, I used regular red heart worsted weight scrap yarn and an F hook. 

This is amigurumi style so count around in a spiral and don't ss join your rows together. I also used safety eyes, which I got in a swap and am now IN LOVE with. You can do whatever you like for embellishments etc. 

stitches:

ss slip stitch

sc single crochet

dc double crochet

hdc half double crochet

f/o finish off

BODY

round 1- do six single crochet in a magic ring

round 2- 2sc in each sc (12)

round 3- 1 sc in first sc then 2sc in next sc around (18)

round 4- 1 sc in first 2 sc then 2sc in next sc around (24)

round 5- 1sc in first 3 sc then 2sc in next sc around (30)

round 6- 1sc in first 4 sc then 2sc in next sc around (36)

round 7 working in back loops only 1sc in each sc around (36)

round 8-16 (both loops) 1sc in each sc around (36)

(I attached my eyes between row 10 and 11)

F/O

BASE

make bottom exactly as rounds 1-6 and then F/O

ATTATCH

hold flat bottom to bottom edge of body. with complimentary color join with a ss. 

working in one loop from each part do:

hdc, 3 dc, hdc, ss, all the way around. 

stuff before you get too far! 

If you want the wavy bits to be bigger, go around again in the same pattern. 

F/O and weave in tail. 

CURLY HAIR

chain 11 

3 hdc in second chain from hook

3hdc in each chain to end of chain

attach to top of moster head. 

MODIFICATIONS

Aside from colors and size of hook, you can pretty much do anything with this one. More curlies on the head, arms, fins, flippers.... go crazy!
