Introduction: Knit an Adult-sized Grogu Hat
My 22 year-old daughter loves the Mandolian. During the first few episodes, Grogu was simply known as "Baby Yoda" Many Yoda hats online, are actually just baby-sized.
I wanted to make my daughter one, so thought I would document the process and share here in case anyone else wanted an adult-sized version as well.
Follow along to see how I created this fun hat for my daughter
Step 1: Create Hat.

US 11 needles
2 strands of green, slightly varied tone
