Bobby the Alien (For Beau)

Pattern notes for "Bobby the Alien" Amigurumi for Beau. Also (other than antenna) it looks somewhat like a brain slug from futurama.

I made this little alien for my nephew Beau yesterday. He had a lot of scary doctor's appointments and I had hoped this little alien guy would help him be brave and give him a little company. I added a little magic "love" while making him and Beau seemed to feel that energy

Supplies:
mc - green yarn
black yarn
white yarn
Hook - Size I-9 - 5.50mm
Yarn Needle
Fiber-fil

The yarn I used for the MC was a VERY old skein of Red Heart "4-ply hand-knitting yarn - 100% Virgin Orlon acrylic fiber - A "Wintuk" Product - Color: 669 Mint Julep - dye lot 279-7544" (I'm thinking from the 70s maybe hehe) Honestly, it's more like a very bright fluorescent green! I also used a small amount of white and black yarn - both just plain, simple RHSS.
