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. I’m having problems understanding how to do the fingers. Help.

Reply
1. Sarah says:

  Hello,
  So for the fingers, you are taking the 18 stitches of the hand, and dividing them into 3 groups of 6, to work 3 little tubes. For the second and third finger, you’ll have to attach new lengths of yarn.

Thank you for the pattern! Both of my boys are so excited for it! But I am lost on the fingers lol. On the fingers when you say sc2tog on round 16 do you mean for us to turn our work to go back over and close off what we just did?
Thank you for your help!!

Reply
1. Sarah says:

  Yes, that is just to close off the 6 st you had been working. If you prefer to close them off another way, like with slip st instead, you can.

How many times do I crochet over the bridge again I’m on row 17 and row 18 do we continue to go over the bridge the two CH that we did to connect the two feet?

Reply
1. Sarah says:
  
  at
  
  Yes, so on 17 and 18 you’re working across the front side and then the back side of those two chain stitches with single crochet. Then after those two rows you do continue to work them, but I call them single crochets at that point so I just include them in the total stitch count.

    So you will have 42 stiches in round 16, correct? Because you already created the chain and the sc from going around in 15.

      Well, you could use a large size yarn and a larger size hook, so that the stitches are still tight. Since this was written with a 4/worsted yarn, you could try finding a bulky or a super bulky?

Thank you so much for this pattern. Am hoping to get a few under the tree!
I’m not sure if it has been said already, but after Round 5, there would only be 21 stitches left. For me, I changed Round six to ‘sc6, 2sc around’ in an effort to bring it back up to the 24 count. This is my second one, and I believe all else worked out mathematically. Thanks again!

  Yeah, it seems like I wasn’t very clear about the bobble toes. In the stitch description about the bobbles at the top of the post, it says Step 9: “Yo and pull through all loops on hook (which would make 1 st), and then yo again and pull through to close the stitch tight (which would be a second stitch). That should give you 24 on the next round.
  
  I’m glad you came up with a workaround, though, since my instructions were a bit confusing. Sorry!

    Again, thank you. The Child was a huge hit within our family. I posted a pic and tagged you on some social media as I was unsure how to post a pic here. Onto #3 now!
    Thank you for your super quick response too, btw
    
    My apologies for yet another question. Is there a method to making a ‘flatter’ face like yours? I’m so concerned with stuffing and stuffing and more overstuffing, the head and thereby, face, is coming out far too round, if this makes any sense.

  Hmm, did you have any trouble with the chain stitches to create that “bridge” between the legs when you joined them? Sometimes it’s easy to miss one of those chains.

    On the robe the pattern has 2 rounds of DC, but the picture shows 3 rounds. It needs the length of the third.
    My 20-something nephew and grandchildren all want one, so does my great granddaughter. I have all but the face done. I’m thinking of brushing powdered blush on the inner ears.

Hello! First of all, BRILLIANT! Second, I tried to scroll and see if you already answered this, and I didn’t see it. For the dc8tog bobbles, are you counting that as 2 stitches for the 24 round count?

Reply
1. Sarah says:

  Yes, there are two stitches. One is the normal closing bobble stitch, and one is the extra chain I ask you to do after the bobble to keep it tight. (step 9 in the special stitches section.)

This is amazing! I don’t generally do amigurumi myself — at least nothing more complicated than snowmen (general ball shapes), but I was obsessed with Baby Yoda and made up my own version: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5y1sfLJF8i/. I really struggled with the robe and plan to remake it. Yours is one of the best I’ve seen!

oops i already mentioned this. and just saw that the amount of stitches in row 16 is already changed. 🙂 and thank you so much for this pattern

Reply
1. Sarah says:

  Hi Kes,
  In row 16 it’s 18 sts in each leg, plus the 2 stitches on the chain “bridge” that you work two times — once on the back of the body, once on the front. So 6+2+18+2+12 is 40. Then, on row 17, you increase on each of the two chain “bridge” stitches on the backside only, which would give you 42 at the end of the round.

  Sorry I don’t have a video but I’ll try to add a drawing to show what I mean. It’s like you go halfway around leg A, make a chain of two stitches in the crotch area as a “bridge” between the two legs, go all the way around the leg B, back over the two chain stitches on the “bridge”, and finish up the remaining stitches on leg A.

I am ready to attach the safety eyes, which round should I put them in and about how many stitches are in between the eyes? (I am currently at round 50 of the head).

THANK YOU! This pattern is AMAZING. I keep cuddling him, even though he’s just got his little feet and body so far <3

  Ah Stephanie, sorry, I didn’t write this down in my notes. But looking at the doll right now, I’m almost positive I put the eyes in row 44, and they look to be about 11/12 stitches apart. See if that looks good to you, because the placement will vary a bit depending on how tightly you’ve stuffed the doll, I imagine.

  I have 20mm eyes in the pictures, but I think the doll would look better with at least 24mm eyes. If you can’t find larger eyes, you can always add an oval of brown felt behind them like I’ve done. Up to you!

      Sorry about that. The toes are bobble stitches that I’ve worked across 2 stitches (rather than 1 stitch) So it’s 4 double crochet bobble stitches in one, 4 double crochet stitches in the next stitch, and then one chain stitch at the end to close it up.
      I’m sorry I can’t help more with the translation 🙁
