Baby Yoda

It is not uncommon for me to hand out homemade gifts. Sometimes this is for a reason (birthdays and births, etc.) and sometimes I just wanted to make something, but have no place or use for it myself. For example, I have already distributed crochet critters to colleagues at work, who are fans of something or other.
One colleague had seen this and dropped hints a few times that she is such big a fan of baby Yoda from Star Wars.

Now, I’m not a Star Wars fan myself and at first I didn’t know what this was. Yoda I know, but that there was also a baby version, that was new. But a quick Google search yielded some admittedly cute pictures of the small green monster.
Searching further with the search term crochet provided numerous options for patterns. In the end, I chose to create the pattern from Larissa Maced

While I was making him, I sent a sneak peak to my colleague.
Dixit: “Rhoooo trop mignon sa petite tête. Merci!”

Yoda itself was a quick crochet. Only the assembly took some trial and error, which is always the case with amigurumi. And I must say, he turned out rather cute, especially the teeny fingers and toes.
Now I still needed to make his coat, which took some more trial and error, since the version according to the pattern turned out way too big.
