Best Crochet Baby Yoda Patterns

Here are a few crochet patterns to make a “baby yoda” crochet amigurumi pattern.

Adorable and mysterious, Baby Yoda is no doubt the best character in the new Star Wars show, The Mandalorian.

Even if you haven’t watched the show, you’ve likely seen a Baby Yoda meme or three on Instagram.

Would you like to crochet your own? In this post, you’ll find a list of our favorite Baby Yoda-inspired crochet patterns.

Supplies You’ll Need

Here are some of the supplies and tools that you’ll need to crochet a little green alien. Of course, you should always read the instructions of the particular pattern you choose for more details.

Yarn: Some of the patterns use worsted-weight yarn, and some call for other yarn weights. If you’re going with worsted-weight yarn, try Red Heart Super Saver in the colors Frosty Green and Cafe Latte. The color “Buff” would also look good.
Hook: If your pattern calls for worsted-weight yarn, you might need a crochet hook in Size G (4.0) or size H (5.0)
Toy Stuffing: You’ll need some Poly-Fil or other toy stuffing to give shape to your amigurumi. The size and shape of the plush will also depend on how tightly you stuff it. I recommend stuffing the plush pretty firmly for the best shape.
Safety Eyes. Some patterns will call for a pair of safety eyes. But remember, crochet fabric stretches, and even large safety eyes can be pulled out with heavy use. If you are making plush toys for a child, use an almond-shaped piece of black or dark brown felt instead!
Tapestry Needle.

Crochet Techniques

Here are some other common amigurumi techniques that you’ll need to know to crochet these plushie patterns.

Single Crochet Decrease (Sc2tog)
Single Crochet (sc)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Invisible Decrease (Sc2tog): Insert the hook in front loop only of first st, insert hook in front loop only of second st (3 loops on hook), yo and draw through 2 loops, yo and complete sc as normal.

  Hi Alice, Sorry I don’t have any more pictures. So the arm is worked from the shoulder down. Round 1 is actually the side that you’ll attach to the shoulder.

Hi Sarah thanks for this pattern it’s amazing but I am having trouble with the arms I got the first part all done to where you fasten it off I guess that’s the shoulder but I’m having a hard time adding the fingers do you have any pictures to show where it is because where I start to put them it’s like up at the shoulders and that just doesn’t make sense to me I really love this pattern I’m making it for a 70-year-old lady that I work with she absolutely loves baby Yoda and yours is the perfect one thanks again for the pattern hope to hear back from you

Your pattern is well written. I have been making bears with arms crocheted in as you go so I put them in on round that had 20sc and then did an extra row.My pet hate is sewing pieces together.

I have a question about the head.
The pattern starts at 6, increasing by 6 to 66.
Then it reduces by 6 to 60, 54, 54, 60, 60, then 54 to 6.
Why down to two rows of 54, then up again to 2 rows of 60?

I was so excited to find this pattern I have a friend that just loves Baby Yoda but my Big problem is the fingers I can not figure them out I have taken the stitches out so many times is there an easier way to do it? And thanks again.

  Hi, You could crochet the fingers separately and sew them on, if it’s easier.

Love the pattern. Easy to follow, but I have one question. When doing the bobbles for the toes do you work x8 into one stitch, ch1, miss a stitch (the 2nd stitch the bobble is worked into) then make the next stitch? I really want to work into that 2nd stitch to accentuate the bobble. This is definitely the best Baby Yoda pattern around. x

  Hi Heather,
  I worked the 8 dc bobble stitch over 2 stitches to flatten it out some. You are welcome to work it into one stitch so it’s puffier.

Thanks so much for the pattern. I changed it only slightly. I added yellow yarn to simulate claws using chain stitches in a V-shape pattern for the feet and hands. I also created an inner ear piece with light pink yarn in a triangle shape. And, I used brown yarn for around the safety eyes and a lighter green yarn for the face chains around the eyes, nose and eyebrows. I used black yarn for the mouth. The green I used for the overall body was closer to avacado than frosty green. And, finally, I left off a row of the robe to show his feet more. It was a fun project.

I am having a problem with the fingers. How do you get from the 6th stitch in round 14 back to the first stitch? It does not say to slip stitch around and to just jump back does not seem to work for me.. Please help. Thank you.
