The tea is strong with this one!

I used the basic tea cosy pattern to cover the teapot in dark brown.
A green ball for the head and used the ears from the ‘Crochet Yoda Hat’ pattern from ‘Knot Your Nana’s Crochet’ (link above). Sculpted the face with a few stitches to get the mouth pout and brow line. I found some scrap eyelash yarn for his hair/ear hair.
The body is another ball shape in green. I made a collar for his under-shirt in brown.
Then made a loose-fitting robe with a hood remembering to make holes for the teapot handle and spout.

Yoda looked like he needed to be holding something….so I made him a lightsaber. It has a wooden dowel core with a thin cardboard tube to make the wider part for the hilt. I Googled images of ‘Yoda’s Lightsaber’ and used the pics as a guide. The hilt is silver/grey and black and the light section is green.
