My dad recently got a lovely little rescue cat called Lorelei. Naturally she needs toys. Dad made her a box tunnel, I made her this π
This pattern requires 8 ply wool of whatever colours you like, although I think white is a good colour for the observation dome part of the saucer. You will need a 4mm hook. The pattern is written in American crochet notation.
