Head: Use green yarn for the head.
You will be working in continuous rounds, so use a stitch marker to mark the first space of each round.
- Round 1: Create a magic loop and work 6 SC into it. Pull the loop closed (6 stitches).
- Round 2: Inc (2 SC) in each space around (12 stitches).
- Round 3: SC, inc around (18 stitches).
- Round 4: SC 2, inc around (24 stitches).
- Round 5: SC 3, inc around (30 stitches).
- Round 6: SC 4, inc around (36 stitches).
- Round 7: SC 5, inc around (42 stitches).
- Rounds 8-16:SC around for 9 rounds (42 stitches each).
- Insert the 12mm safety eyes on the 5th round from the last increase round (around Round 12) and about 5 stitches apart. You can adjust placement, but once satisfied, secure the backings. Begin to add polyfil stuffing into the head.
- Round 17: SC 5, dec around (36 stitches).
- Round 18: SC 4, dec around (30 stitches).
- Round 19: SC 3, dec around (24 stitches).
- Round 20: SC 2, dec around (18 stitches). Finish adding stuffing to the head.
- Round 21: SC, dec around (12 stitches).
- Round 22: Decrease around (6 stitches). Cut a long tail and thread it through a tapestry needle. Run the needle under the front loops of each stitch to close the hole. This tail will be used to sew the head to the body later.
Ears (make 2)
Begin with a long tail.
- Row 1: Chain 11, turn, and SC along (10 stitches).

Assembly
Now that all the pieces are made, it’s time to assemble your Baby Yoda:
- Attach the Ears: Use the long tail from the ears to sew them onto either side of the head, at about eye level. They should stick straight out.
- Attach the Arms: Add a small amount of stuffing to the arms. Use the tail yarn to sew them onto the body, roughly around the 12th round from the base. Repeat for the other arm.
- Attach the Head to the Body: Use the long tail yarn from the head. Bring your needle to where the head touches the body. Then, go through a space on the head and one of the back loops left unworked on the body (from Round 7 of the body, where you worked in back loops only). Continue sewing around until the head is securely attached. Fasten off.
- Finishing: Weave in any remaining loose ends and trim the excess yarn.
Your Baby Yoda is now complete!
