Materials You Will Need:

•

Crochet hook size: 3.75mm

•

Medium/worsted weight yarn: green (I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in “Fern”) and dark

brown (I used Patons Classic Wool Worsted Yarn in “Natural”), plus 1 strand of white for the

eyes

•

Yarn needle

•

One pair of 12 mm safety eyes

•

Polyester fiber fill stuffing

Final measurement for the finished Yoda will be 5.5 inches (14 cm) tall.

Abbreviations:

ch(s) – chain(s)

sc – single crochet

sts – stitches

dec – sc decrease st*

BLO – back loops only

*Single crochet decrease stitch explanation:

Insert the hook into the next stitch and yarn over. Pull a loop through so that there are now 2 loops on

the hook. Insert the hook into the next stitch and yarn over. Pull a loop through so that there are now 3

loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull the loop of yarn through all 3 loops on the hook.

Note #1: Except for the cowl, all the parts of baby Yoda are crocheted in continuous rounds (you will

not join each round).

Note #2: In my patterns, I begin each circle with “ch 2, 6 sc in first ch.” Another way of beginning is to

start with a magic circle. If you are more familiar with this method, just do 6 sc into your magic circle.

Head

With green yarn,

Round 1: Ch 2, 6 sc in first ch. (6 sts)

R2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)

R3: (Sc 1, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (18 sts)

R4: (Sc 2, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (24 sts)

R5: (Sc 3, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (30 sts)

R6: (Sc 4, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (36 sts)

R7-10: Sc 36. (4 total rounds)

R11: (Sc 5, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (42 sts)

R12: (Sc 20, 2 sc in next st), 2 times. (44 sts)

R13: (Sc 20, dec 1), 2 times. (42 sts)

R14: (Sc 5, dec 1), 6 times. (36 sts)

R15: (Sc 4, dec 1), 6 times. (30 sts)

R16: (Sc 3, dec 1), 6 times. (24 sts)

R17: (Sc 2, dec 1), 6 times. (18 sts)

R18: (Sc 4, dec 1), 3 times. (15 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing on the nose. Begin stuffing

the head. Then place the 12mm eyes between R13 and 14 on the

head, with 6 sts between, and firmly press the washers onto the

backs of the eyes.

With the leftover yarn tail from the head, sew a little nose between

the eyes, as pictured to the right.

Ears (make 2)

With green yarn,

R1: Ch 2, 4 sc in first ch. (4 sts)

R2: Sc 1, 2 sc in next 2 sts, sc 1. (6 sts)

R3: Sc 2, 2 sc in next 2 sts, sc 2. (8 sts)

R4: (Sc 1, 2 sc in next st), 4 times. (12 sts)

R5: (Sc 3, 2 sc in next st), 3 times. (15 sts)

R6-13: Sc 15. (8 total rounds)

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. Do not stuff the ears.

Your ear will have one side that bends up more than the other.

This side should be at the bottom, as pictured to the right. The

top of the ear will be more straight across. Bend down the tops

of the ears to make them more ear-like, and sew them to the

head in this bent position, as pictured.

Sew the ears to Yoda’s head 8-9 rounds

down from the beginning circle of the

head and 4-5 sts back from the eyes on

either side. Wait to trim the excess yarn

tail from sewing on the ears to make

Yoda’s eyelids.

Eyelids

Weave the excess yarn tail from sewing

on an ear through the inside of the head,

and sew 2 sts right above each eye, as

pictured above. Then secure the yarn with a knot to the inside of Yoda’s head.

Cut a strand of white yarn, insert it through the opening at the bottom of Yoda’s head and out just below

the eyes. Sew 1 white st below each each, as pictured above. Secure with a knot to either the other end

of the white strand or to the inside of the head.

Body

With dark brown yarn,

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in first ch. (6 sts)

R2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)

R3: (Sc 1, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (18 sts)

R4: (Sc 2, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (24 sts)

R5: (Sc 3, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (30 sts)

R6: (Sc 4, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (36 sts)

R7: (Sc 5, 2 sc in next st), 6 times. (42 sts)

R8: Sc in BLO of the previous round. (42 sts)

R9: (Sc 19, dec 1), 2 times. (40 sts)

R10: Sc 40. (40 sts)

R11: (Sc 18, dec 1), 2 times. (38 sts)

R12: Sc 38. (38 sts)

R13: (Sc 17, dec 1), 2 times. (36 sts)

R14: Sc 36. (36 sts)

R15: (Sc 7, dec 1), 4 times. (32 sts)

R16: Sc 32. (32 sts)

R17: (Sc 6, dec 1), 4 times. (28 sts)

R18: Sc 28. (28 sts)

R19: (Sc 5, dec 1), 4 times. (24 sts)

R20: (Sc 6, dec 1), 3 times. (21 sts)

R21: (Sc 5, dec 1), 3 times. (18 sts)

R22: (Sc 4, dec 1), 3 times. (15 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. Stuff the body, but not too firmly. You want the body to hold

its shape but still be squishy and sit flat on the bottom (enabling it to stand on its own). Sew the body to

the head. Your Yoda will now look as pictured above.

Arms (make 2)

With green yarn,

R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in first ch. (6 sts)

R2: 2 sc in first st, sc 5. (7 sts)

R3: Dec 1, sc 5. (6 sts)

Switch to dark brown,

R4-7: Sc 6. (4 total rounds)

Now, before fastening off, chain 1 and then single crochet

through both layers across the top of the arm to close it

(2 sc sts across, as pictured on the top left). Fasten off,

leaving a yarn tail for sewing. Weave in the ends from the

color change.

Then attach the dark brown yarn to your crochet hook

and inserting it into the arm right at the color change (as

pictured on the top right), sc 6 around the arm to form a

cuff. Fasten off, and weave in the ends.

Your finished arm will look as shown in the bottom

picture.

Now sew the arms to the sides of the body, right below

the head, as pictured to the right.

Cowl

Note: this cowl is crocheted in rows.

With dark brown yarn,

R1: Ch 42, then starting in the 2nd ch from your hook, sc 41 across. (41 sts)

R2: Ch 1, sc 41. (41 sts)

R3-6: Repeat R2. (4 total rounds)

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. To attach the cowl, wrap it around Yoda’s neck, so that the

one end overlaps the other end by several stitches. Then with the yarn tail, sew the cowl together at the

spot where the top end overlaps the bottom one. Sew from the

top, inserting your yarn needle down through the top of the

cowl and into the bottom end, and then up through the top

piece, as pictured on the right.

Then position the cowl where you like it on the Yoda and do a

stitch in the front to attach it to the Yoda’s body, and then

weave your yarn needle through the body and do a stitch to

attach it to the back of the body as well. Secure the yarn tail to

the body with a knot, cut, and weave in the end.

joining me in making a cute Yoda-inspired baby alien!

Enjoy!
