Well, you're in for a treat. Here's the quickest, easiest, tiniest little Baby Yoda doll you can crochet! And not to mention... he's cute, too!
I freehanded this amigurumi while filming because I was trying to whip up a gift for my sweet neighbor's little boy, who loves Star Wars! I was happy with the result, so I thought I'd share the pattern with you.
This pattern is...
- Beginner-friendly
- Quick to work up
- Pocket-sized and easy to carry around
- Great for using up scrap yarns (in other words, an awesome "stashbuster"!)
- Comes with a full video tutorial on the Sweet Softies YouTube channel!
This isn't my first Star Wars themed amigurumi design. It's not my first Baby Yoda design, either! In fact, here's the previous version I made, which is a larger and more detailed Grogu. His clothing can be removed, allowing for some dress-up play. If you'd like to make him too, check it out because this is also a free Baby Yoda pattern on my blog!
Make this project for...
Anyone who'd love this adorable, little doll! It is perfect for both kids and adults alike. Little hands will find this small kokeshi doll to be fun to hold and play with. This Baby Yoda is also great to gift as a collectible to older children or adults who are fans of the Star Wars franchise. It can be displayed as an art doll, or stowed away in pockets to bring with you on adventures!
