FREE AMIGURUMI PATTERN: Star Wars Yoda

Hello
there!

Today I
want to
share
with
you a
free

amigurumi pattern of Yoda!

I created this crochet chibi version a few years ago, as a commission from a hard-die fan of
the Star Wars character. I have recently revised it, improved it and written the pattern down
in a (I hope) clear way, as it was more of general instructions than a true pattern.

I have crocheted Yoda with cotton wool and a 3.5 mm hook and it’s quite small, about 10’5
cm. Apart from the chubby little face, the coat adds a lot of cuteness as it’s detachable (you
can use the same pattern for any amigurumi the same size!).

This amigurumi has some unusual shapes so I’ve taken a lot of pictures to guide you
through the pattern. As Yoda says, “Always pass on what you have learned”.

Get hook and yarns ready and let’s begin!

MATERIALS
– Yarn balls (sports weight): green, brown and beige
– A 3.5mm hook, or the most fitting hook for your yarn
– 1 pair of 8 mm safety eyes
– Stuffing
– For Yoda’s hair: I’ve used felting wool but some glued stuffing or cotton balls will do
– Tapestry needle, stitch marker and ball-point pins

sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet

For this Yoda’s hair I’ve used felting wool, but sometimes I’ve just glued some stuffing to the
head. Cotton balls probably work well, too.

Your Amigurumi Yoda is now finished! This pattern pairs with my amigurumi Princess Leia.
