About this pattern
About a year ago, I said this free amigurumi pattern of Grogu was almost ready to publish… and then I disappeared for a while. Unexpected things happened in my life and my family’s, and that spark I usually have for creating just faded. I couldn’t make anything—I could only see what was wrong.
It took us a while, but little by little, we started finding our way back… one step at a time. Things aren’t perfect, and maybe they don’t need to be. I’m learning to keep creating even when everything around me isn’t in balance, which I find really hard because I usually need things to feel “in order” to function properly… which is pretty ironic, since my mind (and my room, and my stuff) are usually a total mess 😅. And now, I finally feel that spark coming back, and I hope I can start bringing to life all those ideas waiting in notebooks… and in my head.
If you’re a Star Wars fan and love crocheting amigurumis, this free Grogu pattern (also known as Baby Yoda) is for you. I designed it as a tribute to that adorable tiny Jedi-in-training from The Mandalorian, and it’s easy to follow—even without a million photos.
But if you like step-by-step pictures (like I do), I also made a PDF version filled with detailed images, explained in my usual style. You can find it on Etsy or Ravelry for a symbolic price. The links are just below.
I really hope you enjoy bringing this little one to life. Thank you for your patience… and for still being here. May the yarn be with you ✨

Materials & Notes
-
- Yarn: Aran weight cotton yarn in:
- Light green (body): ~12 g
- Light brown (coat): ~15 g
- Light beige (collar): ~18 g
- Pink yarn: less than 1 g (Optional blush)
- Hooks: 3 mm (body and coat), 3.5 mm (collar)

- Yarn: Aran weight cotton yarn in:
With the materials I used, my Grogu turned out 8 cm wide and 7 cm tall.
You can use any yarn and hook combo that works with the thickness you choose. The only thing that’ll change is the final size. Just make sure your stitches are nice and tight, without gaps. If your hook is too big, the fabric might come out too loose.
For the high collar, don’t forget to go up half a millimetre in hook size.

sc: Single Crochet

Technical Notes
- This pattern is worked in a spiral. No need to close each round or chain up.
- [ ] means you should repeat what’s inside.
Example: [6 sc, 3 inc] x6 → Repeat that combo 6 times. (And yes, 3 inc means 1 increase in each of the next 3 stitches.) - < > means all the stitches inside go into the same base stitch.
Example: <3 sc> = do 3 single crochets in the same stitch. - ( ) shows how many stitches you should have at the end of the round.
Example: [2 sc, 2 inc] x2 (12) → You should have 12 stitches total. - { } includes helpful tips or extra info to make the amigurumi easier.

Face details:
Insert safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, 4 stitches apart.
Sew ears between rounds 5 and 9, over the rounds 6, 7 and 8, 4 stitches from the eyes.
If you want to give your Grogu some extra cuteness, you can add a little blush just below and to the side of each eye. I made two small pink lines, one stitch wide each, between rounds 8 nad 9, placed one stitch to the side and slightly below the eyes.

20) (2 sc, 1 dec) x6 (18)
Stuff the body, but don’t overstuff it or the base might bulge inward. Don’t worry too much though, we’ll secure it later to make sure it stays flat.
21) (1 sc, 1 dec) x6 (12)
Closing the base
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (around 25 cm), and thread it into a tapestry needle. Pass the needle through the front loop of each stitch of the last round, one by one. Gently pull the yarn to close the circle.
Insert the needle through the centre of the closure and bring it out at the back, near Grogu’s neck. Pull slightly to shape the base inward so he can stand up straight.
Make two firm knots at the back to hold that shape in place. Then hide the tail inside the body, pulling a bit more so the knots get tucked in too.
Don’t worry—this part will be completely covered by the coat’s collar.

:: High Collar of the Coat ::
Using a 3.5 mm hook and the yarn for the collar colour
To make the high collar, we’ll use the front loops left visible from round 10 of the body.
Yarn over with a slip knot and start in the middle of the back so it looks neater.
Reminder: the stitches between < > are all worked into the same base stitch. In this case, they act as increases to shape the collar.
1) (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, <1 sc, 1 dc>, (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, <1 sc, 1 dc>, (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, <1 sc, 1 dc>, (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, <1 sc, 1 dc> (24)
2) (1 dc, 1 sc) x 12 (24)
3) <1 dc, 1 sc>, (1 dc, 1 sc) x 2, 1 dc, <1 sc, 1 dc>, (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, 1 sc, <1 dc, 1 dc>, (1 sc, 1 dc) x 2, 1 sc, <1 dc, 1 sc>, (1 dc, 1 sc) x 2, 1 dc (28)
You can stop here if you want a short collar or add one more round if you prefer it a bit longer.
4) (1 sc, 1 dc) x 14 (28)
Fasten off, cut the yarn and weave in both ends (the starting and the finishing one) into the inside of the collar.
