Free Baby Yoda Crochet Pattern
Here it is - my free Baby Yoda aka Grogu pattern. I have been meaning to put it up on my blog but just never got down to it. It came from my Bounty Hunter Collection which I’m really proud of! This pattern is pretty fast, with minimal sewing parts like the ears and the coat, so have fun crocheting up this one!

Crocheting Baby Yoda / Grogu
To crochet a simple baby yoda, there are quite a few parts involved. I would say this pattern is a ambitious beginner crochet pattern.
The parts involve include the main head continuing into body, the ears and finally the coat - that is really it! Each part is small and relatively simple to make with the only attachment being the ears to the head, as well as the coat which is optional. Let’s get started!

Assembly of Crochet Baby Yoda Parts
Head component assembly
Add 2 glass eyes to the 4th row of face.
Attach the 2 ears to both sides of the head, at 3rd-5th row .
Body component assembly
Slip his 2 arms into the coat sleeves and try to pull out arm as much as possible (so it is visible within the circle of sleeve).
Fold down the last row of the coat and invert it, close it up at the front midline, just below the neck.
Sew down front coat opening in the midline as well. (Unless you wish to make the coat detachable, I prefer to sew it down so it hides all the loose stitches inside.)
