About this pattern
Zip is a lime-green alien with two bobbing antennae and large shiny eyes. His head and body are made separately, and the arms, legs and antennae are added after. He sits upright at 15 cm, so he looks great next to a rocket or flying saucer. A fun present for a space-mad kid, or a quirky desk companion.
A lovely gift for kids and grown-ups alike, and the toys you make are yours to sell.
