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.

I don’t know why I’m struggling so much on the fingers! I finished round 13 and did the next 6 stitches for round 14, but it doesn’t look right when I go back to the first stitch of round 14 and I just got lost and it was all messed up.

Thank you for this pattern. I’m in the process of making one, just did the leg join, so not too far in. I want to give him to my SiL, who is always very helpful to me when I have computer problems. As slow going as I’m doing to be sure I get him right, he may get it for Christmas LOL.

Hi Sarah, the baby Yoda is adorable. Can I ask, approximately how much green yarn is required for him, do you know. I am going to try to make him

  Sorry, I don’t know the exact amount. But it was less than one skein.

Hi there, thank you for this pattern, I (like everyone) appreciate it. I think I did find a bit of an error in the “Ears” section — not a big one — but wanted to let you know, since you asked for feedback!

You have: “Ears
Make two, working in continuous spiral rounds. Leave a long yarn tail at the end to sew the arm to the body.”

It should say: “Ears
Make two, working in continuous spiral rounds. Leave a long yarn tail at the end to sew the ear to the body.”

Like I said, it’s not a big ‘error’ at all! Thank you again, Adrea

I too want to thank you for this pattern. I have had no trouble at all with your instructions. You did a great job! Did you sew a snap on the robe to keep it closed or just sew it together? Just wondering. Thanks again.

What the measurements of this guy when finished? My nephew packs around his “pals”. I want to make sure he isn’t to big for the little guy to carry everywhere.

So excited to start this project. Our family loves Star Wars and the child is the BEST.
Do you know approx how much of each color we need? I have one skein if latte and Aran and 2 in the frosty sage.

Thank you!

  It was less than one skein of each color. Maybe a bit more than half of the green, and much less of the two robe colors.

Sarah, thank you so much for sharing your pattern. It is awesome and I am in awe of those that can create patterns like this. I’m up to where you put the eyes in but I don’t have them yet. In the mean time I will work on the arms and ears. So far your instructions are very easy to follow. Can’t wait to finish the little guy! Thank you again!

No problems with the written pattern at all. Perfect. Thank you again.

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. It’s been so fun to make! Do you know, if I want to make it bigger, what I can increase by? I don’t want to use a bigger hook because I don’t want to stitches to be loose, and able to see stuffing. But I’m hoping for a bigger version. Any feedback from anyone would be appreciated. I might just have to mess around with it ‍♀️

Thank you for your pattern. It has been fun to do. I got one done by Christmas and just finished second one. I have to agree with you on the mouth. I ended up doing both top and bottom, but put them together. I appreciate you sharing!

Starting at Row 18 aren’t you decreasing 6 sts in each row except when you do the Sc all the way around?

  I think that should be 8 sts decreased

Glad to find this before it disappears.
Not for a baby so using 20 mm black shank ball buttons for eyes. Sewing them on thru the stuffing will allow me to sculpt the face a little.
Well written and fun.
Thanks for the pattern. 🙂

I did the bobble stitches all in the one stitch, 8 double crochets in one stitch. I am going to do it over as it seems to me the leg is inside out, maybe I turned back instead of continuing a round.
