Before we get started..

Welcome back! Today I am sharing my first crochet pattern! As of now, there is only a free, with ads, pattern available. This pattern is considered intermediate because I don’t post a ton of pictures to guide you step by step, nor do I include a stitch count for each row. This Grogu pattern is the perfect size for quick market-makes! Either sell Grogu as is or as a keychain!

Materials:

• Size 4 yarn in Green
  • I used big twist medium weight yarn
• 12 or 15mm safety eyes or black yarn for embroidery.
• Size 3.75 hook
• stitch markers
• Polyfil
• Yarn needle for embroidery and weaving

Abbreviations

• CH - chain
• SC - single crochet
• dec - single crochet decrease
• inc - single crochet increase
• MC- Magic Circle (can use 2 chain method)
• Slst - slip stitch
• FO- fasten off

How to read:

• Pattern is works in a continuous round
• Anything written between * * and followed by x# should be repeated x number times.
• I use an invisible decrease to make it look neater.

The Pattern

Ears: make 2

Ch 8 R1: Sl, sl, 3 hdc, 1 dc, 3dc inc, 1dc, 3 hdc, sl, sl into first stitch of round R2: 4 sc, 4 inc, 4 sc, sl into first stitch of next round. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Body: make 1

R1: 6 sc in a MC R2: (inc) x6 R3: (1sc, 1 inc) x6 R4: (2 sc, inc) x6 R5: (3 sc, inc) x6 R6-8: Sc around Begin stuffing, but don’t over stuff. R9: (3 sc, dec)x 6 R10: (2 sc, Dec) x6 R11: (1 sc, Dec) x6 R12: Dec around

Fasten off. Leave a long tail for weaving and shaping.

(Optional) Using a yarn needle, pull your yarn tail back through the bottom center of your ball and up through your magic ring. And pull up. Then insert your needle into row 1 and back down through the middle of the ball. Pull tight. This turns your circle into more of an oval. Snip the tail.

Finishing Touches

Nose: using green yarn and a yarn needle, embroider nose between the eyes. Eye-Lids: Using green yarn and a yarn needle, place 2 stitches directly over each eye. This gives an eye-lid look. You can use a toothpick with a little superglue to glue the lids in place of they don’t lay correctly. Ears: Sew the ears to the sides of Grogu’s head, in line with his eyes. I like mine to point up a little bit.
