Though small in stature and 900 years old, Jedi Master Yoda is an extraordinarily powerful, wise, and fearless warrior. A member of an unknown species with green skin, he has large pointy ears and three-fingered claws. With his green lightsaber at his side, Yoda may be small, but he is fierce.

Worked from the cuff up primarily in seed stitch, center double increases along one edge form the thumb gusset, which is placed on waste yarn while the palm is completed. Palm stitches are divided to form the fingers, which are worked individually then topped with cream-colored yarn worked in stockinette to form claws. Multiple sizing for children 1–12 years ensures the perfect fit for even the tiniest Yoda fans.
