As if everyone didn’t love Yoda already, they had to go and introduce Baby Yoda aka Grogu and everyone on the internet collectively lost their minds in cuteness. So yes, I’m also on the bandwagon and I knew I had to create a Grogu crochet amigurumi version as well!
Seeing all the Baby Yoda memes out there, I thought it’d be fun to do a crochet take on them. So when thinking of the different poses for Grogu, I thought immediately first of the sipping soup pose.
Crochet Grogu is just here for the drama. *takes a sip*
The second pose is the one where Grogu tries very hard. This is when Grogu was trying to help the Mandalorian and he uses all his power and strength.
Come to think of it, that kind of feels like me whenever I’m trying to design and get a pattern out. I think I will also need a very long nap now 😛
The features for this free Baby Yoda Crochet pattern include his long pointy ears and his robe with a cowl around his neck. He also has brown sleeves and 3 fingers for each hand. Bonus accessory includes a cup to sip while watching the drama.
Another special feature for him is his eyes. His eyes are so distinct and translucent, so I thought that acrylic gems were the way to go! I found some tear shaped ones and glued them on.
When I was designing Grogu, I kept thinking he looked a lot like Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch) They have similar eye shapes and long ears! Also, I kept thinking DO NOT make him look like those green aliens with oval heads and eyes. I told my friend this and he said, “Well, he is an Alien.” I guess technically it is true, but you know what I mean!
Fun thing about this pattern is that by changing the placement of where you sew the arms, you can change memes in an instant! If you sew the hands to the sides, you’ll get a standalone Crochet Baby Yoda. If you sew the hands in the center of the robe, then you can sew the cup in between the hands to create the iconic sipping soup pose.
You can also crochet him a Space Pod cradle accessory!
So, I hope you’ll enjoy this free crochet pattern and “May the Cuteness Be With You!”

GROGU AMIGURUMI ASSEMBLY
1. Stuff the Head and Body.
2. Sew Head onto Body.
3. Sew Ears onto Head. Ears should be spaced with 10 sts across face.
4. With tear shape acrylic gem, use as template to cut out black felt. The size for the gems should be 13mm x 18mm.
Glue black felt on with Fabri-tac onto face. Eyes should be spaced with 3 sts in between.
Glue acrylic gem with Fabri-tac on top of black felt. [The felt creates a nice even surface for the gem to be glued on]. DO NOT USE the acrylic gems for young children as they can be a CHOKING HAZARD.
5. Sew Arms to Body. Placement can be on side of arms, like this. Or if you are making the Baby Yoda Sipping Tea MEME look, sew the arms in the center of the body 3 rounds and with enough room to grip the CUP. Then sew in Cup between the fingers.
6. Make sure you crochet your Baby Yoda a Space Pod (also a free pattern on my blog), so he can travel around in style!

January 5, 2020 at 6:51 pmI just finished the Yoda pattern, very cute!
Than you for the video….the crochet stitches were easy to follow but the video really helped with the “folding and ” 🙂
Just one bit of confusion on the sleeve….the written pattern says back loop but the video says front loop. It was easier with front loop.
Thank you for your effort and creativity.

January 6, 2020 at 2:24 pmGlad the video helped and thanks for catching that on the written pattern. I’ve changed it to say Front Loop! Would love to see how your Yoda turned out!

April 10, 2020 at 6:52 pmDo you really mean for the acrylic gems to be 25 x 18 mm? I went in through your link, they’ve come today and they are HUGE. Is this right? Thank you
Ami Amour
April 10, 2020 at 8:35 pmI’m so sorry, I just checked the acrylic gem size and it should actually be 13 x 18 mm size. I’ve updated the links in the post and also have written out the size in the Supplies section now. Thank you for catching that.
