Tips for Crocheting Gloop
Gloop's charm comes from his soft, blobby shape, so avoid overstuffing — a slightly squishy body is perfect here. Place the eyes wide apart for maximum cuteness, and embroider a gentle curved smile. If you add antennae, crochet them over a strand of wire so they bounce playfully when the toy moves.

He fits right into alien-themed birthday parties as a handmade favor, and looks adorable perched on a bookshelf among plants.
