Introduction: Crochet Mini Baby Yoda

Hi everyone! Here I have a very cute mini Baby Yoda pattern which also includes instructions on how to make his space pod as well as his little blanket. This is an original written pattern based on Baby Yoda from the Star Wars series the Mandalorian.

Here are the abbreviations of the stitches I used

Sc: single crochet

Inc: increase

Dc: double crochet

Dec: decrease

Step 6: The Robe

For this part I used brown and tan colors but you could use just one color or choose other colors to use

Using the tan color start with a chain of 27 (You can make the chain longer or shorter depending on how long you want the robe)

R1-R3. Dc In all of the 26 Stitches for 3 rows (26)

Then change your color to brown the next row

Now just sc around the whole thing to make it look a little nicer and sew in all loose ends

To finish just put the robe on your Baby Yoda and cut some string to help keep the robe on

For this part I used a light brown color

Start with a chain of 26

R1. Sc in the 25 stitches

R2-R25. Sc in the 25 stitches (there should be 25 rows total) (25)
