Need a Halloween costume maybe?
Why not Zoidberg?
What You’ll Need :
Aran weight yarn, approx. 220m - I used “With Wool Aran, James C. Brett”
Gauge: 17st x 26r =10cm in stocking stitch. This is a reasonably chunky aran. If you need to add or subtract stitches to compensate for gauge, you can do so in 4s for the ribbed section
5mm double-point needles
5mm circular needle (optional)
Stitch holder (or yarn scrap)
Darning/Large-eye needle
Toy stuffing or scrap yarn
Measuring tape or ruler
Scissors

CO 84st, join in the round (being careful not to twist), place stitch marker at beginning of round and knit 4 rounds in garter stitch.
Round 5: *k2, p2* repeat around
Continue in 2x2 rib until piece measures 12cm from CO edge
Next round: *k5, k2tog* repeat around (72st)
Continue in stocking stitch for 12cm
Next row: BO 2 stitches. Knit 10, bind off 2 stitches, knit to end. Slip the 10 isolated stitches onto a stitch holder (or yarn scrap)
Working straight on the remaining 58 stitches -
Row 1: Purl row (and all even rows)
Row 2 & 4: k1, k2togtbl, k to last 3 st, k2tog, k1
Row 6 & 8: k1, m1, k to last last stitch, m1, k1
Slip the 10st from you holder onto a needle and work rows 1-8 as above
Returning to the 58 st, knit a row, place stitch marker, CO 2st, knit across the 10st, CO 2st and continue knitting in the round.
Work another 8cm in stocking stitch (approx 36cm from CO edge).
If you’re working on a circular needle, move to DPs (18st on 4 needles = 72st)
Decrease round: *k2tog, k to last 2st on needle, k2tog* repeat on each needle
(this assumes you are using 5DPs, if you have only 4 then it will be k2tog, k14, k2tog)
Next round: knit
Repeat these two rounds until you have 32st left (8 per needle)
Next, repeat decrease round until you have 8st (2 per needle). Cut your yarn and, with the darning needle, thread it through the stitches, pull tight and secure.

I hope that makes some sense, good luck
HAHAHHAHA NICE WORK
To make the eyes, in case it is useful, I used lenses from a cheap pair of sunglasses, put a piece of masking tape in the middle of each, and spray-painted them white. Then I peeled off the masking tape once the paint was dry, and had eyes that I could still see through. I used fabric glue to attach them on the front of the mask over my eye holes.
I'm a huge Zoidberg fan. Thank you for doing this!
Why not Zoidberg??!
