Free Crochet No-Sew Baby Yoda Pattern for Gifting

Today’s quick written pattern will help you to crochet an oh-so-cute Baby Yoda plushie measuring about 5cm tall. This baby Yoda is no-sew, needs little yarn for completion, and works up fast enough to be completed in less than 30 minutes. This plush alien Yoda finishes as a mini kawaii doll and can even be completed using leftover yarn.

The bottom of this plushie is flat, which makes it sit without any support on your table as a buddy. I especially love the use of a little amount of fuzz yarn around the neck and the use of large safety eyes for the size of the body.
