# Sci-Fi Face-Warmer Knits This Knitted Alien Facehugger Mask Will Keep You Skeptically Warm By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-03-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-facehugger References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2013/03/05/Knitted-Alien-Facehugger/) & [craftster.org](http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=322464.0) This cuddly knitted Alien Facehugger by loudxmouse is here to cuddle your face with promises of only keeping you warm. It truly has no intention of using your body as a host to grow a vicious alien killing machine (I promise). For some it might be hard to get past the fact that this knitted pet has good intentions. The Alien movie franchise has haunted millions of people from trusting weird alien looking things -- never mind on or around the face. But this soft and cuddly one might just be the first step in getting over that fear. Craftster user loudxmouse has graciously provided the step by step instructions in order to make one of your own and help ensure the continuation of the Alien Facehugger species. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Knitted Face Masks:** Opportunity to create new designs and materials for face masks using knitting techniques. - **Sci-fi Fashion:** Incorporation of sci-fi elements into fashion trends, potentially using knitted materials for unique clothing items. - **Comfortable Cosplay:** Creation of comfortable and wearable cosplay items for fans of sci-fi and pop culture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Handmade Crafts:** Handmade crafts industry can utilize the trend of knitted face masks to create unique and personalized products. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate sci-fi elements into their designs to cater to fans of the genre. - **Film and TV Merchandise:** The trend of comfortable cosplay presents opportunity for film and TV merchandise industry to create wearable and affordable cosplay items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Digital Avatar LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qudi-mask-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Replica Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clone-trooper-phase-ii.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Knitted Chicken Bucket Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-hugger.md) - [Face Mask-Made Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymlux-lamp.md) - [Soundproof Microphone Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phasma.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md)
