Notes:
• This pattern is written using US terms.
• The skill level is intermediate. Having made gloves or other animals that have toes may help.
• Yoda’s body is worked in the round. His robe, eyelids, and ears are worked in rows, where you ch1 to turn after every row.
• The eyes aren’t attached to the green part of his head, instead they will be attached to the whites of his eyes and then the white part will be sewn on. It does leave a bit of backing, but the indention it makes (if any) will give his face some shape anyway. I suppose it is up to you how you wish to attach the safety eyes (or maybe you even want to crochet the black part of the eyes!) so keep that in mind.
