When I first decided to create the Space Explorers Collection, I knew I wanted to include an amigurumi crochet Rocket Ship plush that was large enough to cuddle with. My vision was that someone was going to make this collection for a child that LOVES outer-space.  The child will play with the Astronaut and Alien and then at night, cuddle the Rocket Ship to sleep. How cute is that!?

Gauge

5 Round Circle = 2” with a 3.5mm hook

Gauge isn’t super important for amigurumi, but I included it just in case you want to check your gauge. Being a little off should not affect the final product too much. You can learn more about how to measure gauge for amigurumi here!

Yarn I Used

I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for this toy; however, you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. For this pattern, I used roughly 50g of Vintage Pink (about one skein of yarn), 85g of Stormy Grey (< 2 skeins of yarn), a little bit of Pale Lilac, a little bit of Pansy Purple, and a little bit of Champagne White for the window reflection.
