Now the fun part!
I actually dont like this part.... I am bbad at stitching together qWq

1. Stitch the ears on I did the top of the ear on the 3rd row of the head *2 stitchs away from eye
2. Stitch arms on the body I did mine around 5 stitchs apart 2 rows down
3. Stutch head on body *ok i had a brain melt and messed up it was supposed to be even amount of stitches but its not... if you read this before you make it you can fiddle with that last body row you only need to decrease 2 times **not changing pattern just gonna mention it here
4. Stitch on scarf like thing or is it a cowl? Anwahs just wrap it how you want it around his neck then stitch it on

Others stuff
Use a small amouny of black to give it a smile
Use a small amount of body color to give it a bit of a nose

And there you have it a small pocket alien you can take him with you anywhere... ok probably not but you get the point.
