This is my second ever purchasable pattern! It’s designed for beginners and experts alike, with the 100% crocheted version for the experts, and alternative cut-out pieces at the back of the pattern for sewing for the less experienced crocheter. And since there are a few less small parts he is a bit easier to make than the BB-8 pattern I have previously made.

This is an (almost) life-sized BB-9E crochet pattern. He is quite big, very cuddly and a great companion for a Star Wars marathon. He stands roughly 50cm tall, with another 8cm or so with the added antenna

Gauge is 8 single crochet stitches by 9 rows.
