Beam Me Up Tea Towel & Topper

Cute and cosmic, this crochet tea towel and topper pattern deserves a 'visitation'. Stitched in Lily Sugar’n Cream, the spacecraft topper is worked in single crochet in the round, and stuffed to shape. Adorned with portholes and stars, it’s piloted by an adorable alien in search of friends (ideally on tea towels). Make the tea towel or use your own, and apply the cow appliqué to complete the set. Ties inside the base of the spaceship topper secure a folded tea towel neatly in place.
