00:36Let's go ahead and work on that upper trim of the UFO.
00:42We're going to start by finding where the front loops or the unworked front loops are that
00:48you created in round 10.
00:52So here is the first unworked front loop.
00:57And this back here is the last one.
01:05It may be a little hard to see with plush yarn, but the unworked front loop sticks out slightly
01:11over here, all the way around.
01:15So go ahead and find where that first unworked front loop is, and you're going to pull yarn
01:21through.
01:23And what you'll do next is you're basically going to slip stitch in each of the front loops
01:29around.
01:30At the end, we're going to fasten off of the tail and weave it in.
01:33So here's what it'll look like.
01:36I'm going to insert my hook into the next front loop, pull through for a slip stitch.
01:43Go into the next front loop, pull through for a slip stitch.
01:49To the next one, and slip stitch.
01:54Let's do this all the way around.
02:23.
02:58all right here's what it looks like all the way around and you can go ahead and fasten off the
03:05yarn ends and weave them in we're now going to crochet the middle ring of the ufo i'm using a
03:15dark gray yarn for this section what you'll do is start by finding those unworked front loops
03:22created in round 15 so you can see them protruding here and i want to find where the first one
03:33is
03:33so here is um the first front loop oops of that piece um of the round and here is the
03:46last front
03:47loop of the round where we're finishing so in that first front loop i'm going to go ahead and pull
03:54yarn
04:03through and then i'm going to insert my hook into the next front loop
04:15and pull through for a slip stitch and let's continue that all the way around
04:28and
04:55all right and here we are after having gone all the way around um you can add a slip stitch
05:03to that
05:03very first stitch as well to close it up let's go ahead and fasten off
05:11and you'll want to weave in these ends as well
05:25now it's time to crochet the feet of the ufo
05:28and the feet are just made with little puff stitches we're going to put them between rounds
05:3519 and 20 this last round is 21 here's 20 and here's 19 so between 19 and 20 is where
05:45we can insert
05:46a little foot i put three little feet um in the ufo you can add more or you can um
05:56i wouldn't recommend
05:57fewer though but you could do three or you could do four if you'd like and let me go ahead
06:03and show you
06:04how to add those puffs in all right and i'm using dark gray yarn for the little um feet of
06:12the ufo
06:12you can use whichever color you want of course for um the puff stitch you're going to pull yarn through
06:20the u to begin then we're going to start with yarning over insert your hook into the same stitch
06:28yarn over and pull up a loop that's the first repetition we're going to do this a total of three
06:36times
06:37so let's do it two more times yarn over insert your hook into the same stitch yarn over pull through
06:47that's number two
06:54and that's number three now you should have seven loops on your hook that's one two three four five six
07:05and seven you know that was really hard to see because the loops are very tightly um wound together
07:14and push yarn makes it even harder to see so um go ahead and yarn over and let's pull through
07:22all
07:22seven of those loops give your hook a little wiggle if it gets stuck in there then you're going to
07:30make a
07:30chain and that's going to secure your puff now let's go ahead and fasten off and what you will do
07:38is take the fastened off end and pull it right back into the stitch when you do that
07:47you are pulling the puff down to the base of your amigurumi
07:54and it'll look like just a chubby little puff poking out
08:01let's go ahead and pull that starting yarn tail in as well
08:06and a really good way to keep that secure is to simply knot the starting and ending yarn tails together
08:21now there's that for the first leg let's go ahead and add another puff
08:28i think somewhere over here might be good and then i might have my last puff somewhere here
08:46we're going to repeat these instructions for the puff i'm going to do it again um to demonstrate
08:54yarn over pull through a loop yarn over insert your hook into the same stitch yarn over and pull through
09:03a loop
09:11last one yarn over insert yarn over pull a loop and now we're going to yarn over and go through
09:21all of these loops and chain to close the puff let's fasten off
09:30and once again pull it straight through um that same stitch
09:38and you'll have a nice little puff
09:45let's
09:49let's tie those ends together
10:00and they'll be nice and secure in the project
10:06i ended up adding four feet total because why not and let's go ahead and now sew up the hole
10:15oh by the way before you sew up the opening you'll want to make sure all the loose ends are
10:21woven in
10:22so i woven the ends from the top and the middle trim
10:28let's now close up that hole
10:34go ahead and thread your yarn needle with the um
10:41with the long yarn tail here
10:45and the easiest way to close up the hole in my opinion is to
10:50do a running stitch around in the front loops only so i'm going into just the front loop here
10:57going in and then out of the next one
11:02i'm going to keep the slacks for now and not pull tightly until the end
11:08now going in and out of the next front loop
11:17go in and then out of the next front loop
11:26and last one last pair go in and then out
11:33and now let's pull tight and as you can see it cinches together
11:40like so and now we can go ahead and use this um last bit of yarn tail to just weave
11:47in
11:58and you can go ahead and do that a few times until your yarn tail is hidden nicely
12:15when you are done go ahead and snip off the end
12:23and you'll want to kind of uh check your ufo for its shape
12:29working with it and then last few steps for finishing can definitely make it lopsided
12:35so i'm gonna go ahead and push it out again make sure the shape is well rounded on the bottom
12:43and that the seat is not pushed in
12:52and once you are done you should have a nice little ufo made just like this
13:06once you finish crocheting that little alien and its ufo you can go ahead and put it together
13:15and let your little alien fly off to explore space
