The truth is out, aliens are here ! But just to give us love and tissues !

This PDF Crochet Pattern will guide you to crochet an alien tissue holder as shown in picture, made using soft acrylic yarn (DK / 8 ply) and crochet hook J (6 mm).

The alien works up quickly by crocheting it with 2 strands of yarn, held together. This will give a nice, thick and soft fabric to cover the package of tissues and for countless hours of cuddling !
If not using as a tissue holder, the alien will be a funny rag doll friend for the little ones in your life.
Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the tissue holder in the pictures. Wool or cotton yarn will be suitable too for this pattern. Finished size will be approx. (l x h) 26,7” x 5,1” (68 cm x 13 cm).
