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.

- Sew it into place, making sure to fully stuff the Fin before completely closing the opening off.
- Once you have one Fin sewn in place, pin the other two Fins in the same manner, keeping an equal distance between each Fin.
- Pin the Window onto the front of the Rocket and sew in place.
- Embroider two lines with Champagne White on the Window to represent the reflection.

Is there any particular reason why the window is sewn on after it is stuffed as opposed to beforehand?
Hi April,
Not particularly. I just personally like to sew the different bits on after stuffing to accommodate for the stretch the toy gets when stuffed. I find that being able to pin the piece down to sew makes the sewing a bit neater too.
Hope this helps!
Abby
