Then mark where you ended so that you can make his face by attaching the eyes, eyebrows, nose, a bump on his fore head, as well as his hair and ears.

Step 2: Making and Adding the Eyebrows, Eyes, Nose, and Little Bump on the Head

For the eyes all I did was sew on two black buttons.

Once they were sewed on I used the glue gun to glue yarn to each end of the eyes so that he had eye sockets and his eyes looked more like Baby Yoda's wise eyes and so they also looked better attached to his head. I then added some blush to the yarn that is glued to the eyes.

Making the eye brows:
R1. Start with a chain of 13

R2. Dc in the 12 stitches (12)

Then fasten off leaving a tail for sewing and make one more

To attach the eyebrows all I did was sew them right above both eyes

Making the nose:
R1. Start with a chain of 5

R2-R4. Sc in the 4 stitches for a total of 3 rows (4)

R5. Sc around whole piece

R6-R7. Then sc around whole thing for 2 rows
Fasten off and leave tail for sewing

Then Sew it in between the two eyes and I the added some blush to the end of it.

Making the little bump on his forehead:

R2. Sc in the 4 (4)

sew to his fore head and then sew once piece of yarn down the middle of it.

R2-R5. Sc in 16 for a total of 4 rows (16)

R6- 16. Sc in the stitches decreasing in one end for a total of 11 rows

Then Sc around the whole piece and fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Then fold the flat end of the ear over half way and sew it into place. I then colored the ear with blush and sewed it to the body. once you are done with one make one more!

Adding the hair:

For this part I used hot glue which I put on his head and ears and then I placed some stuffing on the glue so that he could have a little bit of hair.

Once they are all done sew three fingers to each arm and then attach the arms to the body.

Once the legs and arms are attached you can stuff the body and then attach it to the head, and you are done crocheting!

Step 8: Making His Coat

To make the coat I first cut a rectangle out of the light beige fabric that fit around Baby Yoda’s body. Then I cut two lines for where his arms would go through and made sure they easily went though the two holes. Then I attached the velcro so that the coat could be removable. I sewed the velcro on but you can glue it on instead. After that I cut two rectangles the size of the slits I attached them using the hot glue gun. I then lined the collar and the sleeves of the jacket with the light brown fabric using the glue gun. Now you are done with the coat and can put it on your Baby Yoda.

Step 9: Making the Space Pod

For this part I used the 2 coconut coir hanging plant baskets to make the space pod. To make them look like a space pod I first spray painted them with silver metallic paint but you can just paint them if you want. Then I glued one inside of the other so that they looked like a space pod. Once I did that I then glued the grayish brown fabric to the inside of the pod so it looked more comfortable for Baby Yoda to sleep in. Then you are done with the space pod!

Step 10: Making the Blanket

For this part all I did was cut a square out of the brown fabric and then placed it in to the space pod with Baby Yoda on top. Now you are done with your Baby Yoda and have an amazing new creation to enjoy and a new member to your Star Wars family!!
