Move on to
assembly below!
Assembly
Step 1:
Face
First, we
need to attach and stitch on our facial features to the front panel.
Insert 12mm
safety eyes into the front panel at row 10 and approximately 5 stitches in from
each side.
Next,
stitch on a nose below the eyes by weaving your green yarn around a stitch
several times. Tie a knot in the back to secure.
Finally,
stitch on eyebrows above each eye around rows 13-14 using green yarn.
Step 2:
Body
Okay, here
are the pieces you should now have at this step.
Start by
cutting two lengths of the green yarn about 30cm/12″ each. Put them aside for
now.
Place the
two body panels together, matching up all stitches.
Make sure
the front of Baby Yoda is facing you as you crochet around the outside of the
piece.
Starting on
the left side at the top, begin attaching the panels together by single
crocheting around the outside of the panels.
Be sure to
crochet loosely around so that the edge keeps its nice curve!
Only
crochet three or four stitches and then stop. Using your tapestry needle and a
length of yarn that you set aside earlier, sew the first ear in place. Place
the ear in the middle of the head and sew through all three pieces; the back
panel, the ear and the front panel.
Once the
ear is secured, tie a knot in the yarn tails and hide them inside the piece.
Continue
single crocheting around. When you get to the ear, crochet in the stitches of
the front panel only; this portion is already sewn shut, so it’s just for
aesthetics!
Continue
crocheting both panels together normally once you’re past the ear.
Sew the
second ear in place on the opposite side the same way you did for the first.
Continue
crocheting up the other side and stop when you reach the top. Stuff Baby Yoda!
Continue
single crocheting across the top. Top up stuffing as you go as necessary. Use
the back of your crochet hook to even out the stuffing and keep the shape nice
and round.
When you
are satisfied with the stuffing, close with a slst to first st. Tie off. With
your tapestry needle, poke the yarn tail back inside the piece. Finish with
some needle sculpting for the eyes and add the loop
for hanging.
Next, wrap
the robe around the bottom of the ornament, overlapping one end over the other.
Using the long tail and your tapestry needle, stitch the robe onto the ornament
along the top edge of the robe as follows:
Insert your
needle through a stitch along the top of the robe, push it all the way through
the ornament and out the back of the ornament through a stitch along the top of
the robe at the back. Re-insert your needle into the next stitch along the top
of the robe, then all the way through the ornament and out the front, through a
stitch along the top of the robe. Continue all the way across.
