FREE Crochet Pattern - Baby Yoda (The Child) from The Mandalorian

UPDATE 2/12/23: Cleaned up the pattern a little for readability and added a note about how I weirdly work BLO for no logical reason. 

There are a million Baby Yoda patterns floating around and now there are a million and one because I wanted to make a bigger version in a simplified, derpy style. I figure this might also be up someone else's alley and hot damn it's the holidays so, of course, it's free (also the Mouse Detective is the most aggressive of the copyright police...I know from experience. lolz). Enjoy! Feel free to modify this pattern as you see fit, but link back here to share the joy and, you know, give me a little credit. 

Mine turned out about 8" tall and 13" across at the widest point AKA the ears. I used Caron Simply Soft except for the light brown which is Radheart Supa Sava! Super Saver is a little thicker than Simply Soft and you want the collar and the cuffs to be a little chunkier. Heck, you can use the same color brown if you want. I used 10mm safety eyes, but you can do whatever. I also worked in back loops only, but if you've known me for a while, you know that's just a thing that I do. It is isn't necessary unless you want the same texture.

Ears

Finishing: sl around to create finished edge, break off.
Add some optional pink to the inner part of the ear (this will also help the ears not flop around if you’re using a larger hook/making a bigger Baby Yoda) with the following:
With light pink.
  • Ch 5;
  • Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (4), ch 1, turn;

Stitch into place with the flat edge matching the flat edge of the ear.
The ear needs to be folded a little and then joined to the head. The flat edge is the top of the ear. It may take a few passes around to get the ear secure and positioned.

  • Rows 2-42: sc across (12), ch 1, turn;
  • Row 43: sc across (12), break off and leave long tail for attaching to body. Attach as shown then fold down.


Hands
You’re basically going to be making 2 tiny 3-fingered gloves.
With your green.
  • Ch 19, sl to form loop;
  • Rnds 1-3: sc around (18);
  • 1st finger (here is when it might get confusing?): 3 sc, ch 2, then fold the piece such that the start of your rnds is one of the edges, join the ch to the other side and sc in what were the final 3 sts of the rnd (8);
  • Rnds 2-3: sc around (8), break off and close the hole – I ran the tail through the loops of the stitches then cinched it shut;
  • 2nd finger: rejoin the yarn in what would have been the 4th st of the original rnd, ch 1 (this is the 1st st of the finger), 2 sc, ch 2, join to the back side and sc in the next 3 sts before the 1st finger, 2 sc in the ch of the 1st finger (10);
  • Rnds 2-3: sc around (10), break off and close;
  • 3rd finger: regjoin yarn in 7th st of original rnd, ch 1, sc all the way around including into the ch of the 2nd finger (8);
  • Rnds 2-3, sc around (8), break off and close.

Arms
Make 2, with darker brown, starting at the wrists, you are going to attach these to the hands you just made and work up the arms away from the hands.
  • Rnd 1: ch 1 in the joining st, this counts as your 1st st, sc around (18);
  • Rnds 2-5: sc around (18);
  • Row 6: (this next part is going to be the shoulder - stop working in the rnd, start working flat) 9 sc (9), ch 1, turn;
  • Row 7: 9 sc, (9), ch 1, turn
  • Row 8: skip the 1st sc, 6 sc, dec across final 2 sts (7), ch 1, turn;
  • Row 9: skip the 1st sc, 4 sc, dec across final 2 sts (5), break off and leave tail for joining to body.

Sleeve Cuff
Make 2, with lighter brown.
  • Ch 10, leave a tail of several inches;
  • Row 1: begin sc in 2nd ch from hook (9), ch 1, turn;
  • Rows 2-19: sc across (9), break off and leave a long tail.
  • Seam the short sides together to make a ring then slide it over the arm and join it as shown. Make sure the seam of the cuff is on the back or underside of the arm. Fold it down to partially cover the hand. Stuff the arm.
Attach the shoulders to the body. The shoulder should be partially under the collar when it is folded down.

Front Details
Begin with lighter brown, ch 22;
  • Row 1: begin sc in 2nd ch and across (21), switch to darker brown, ch 1, turn;
  • Row 2: sc across (21), ch 1, turn;
  • Row 3: sc across (21), break off and leave a long tail stitch it up the middle of the body.

Done!
