This sweet little astronaut is extra detailed, and I’ve made an effort to minimize the sewing required. Customization instructions for the air tank on the astronaut’s back and the detailing on the chest plate and visor are included in the pattern. Change the colors, the yarn weight, or the accessories and make it your own!

Comes with instructions for making a hanging loop to turn this little guy into a bag charm or Christmas ornament, or even hang him from your rear view mirror.

If you meet the suggested gauge, your astronaut will be approximately 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 7 inches (18 cm) tall. Using lighter or heavier yarn will cause the size of your astronaut to vary significantly.

Suggested Yarn: Any worsted/4/medium weight yarn. You can use a different weight of yarn, but it will cause your astronaut to be a different size!
