Star Wars Baby Yoda C2C Crochet Lapghan

Happy New Year!  I thought we’d ring in the new year with this fun, quick-to-crochet afghan.  If you’ve kept up with the second season of the Star Wars offshoot The Mandalorian, you know that the alien child that was lovingly christened “Baby Yoda” by fans now has a name—Grogu.  This puppet has captured everyone’s hearts.  He is stinking adorable with his big ears and bigger appetite. 

This Grogu (Baby Yoda) in Pot C2C Crochet Afghan is a quick stitch.  At just 67 squares wide and 57 squares tall, it is the perfect size for a lapghan or child-size blanket.

Finished Size: 50 inches wide X 42 inches long 

If you haven’t seen season two, you may be asking yourself, so why is Grogu in a pot?

I’m glad you asked!

In the first episode of The Mandalorian in Season 2, Mando and the child (Baby Yoda, Grogu, call him what you will) are on Tatooine looking for other Mandalorians. It’s a mashup of Star Wars and Tombstone. They come across an Old West type marshal whose town is plagued by a krayt dragon. When the krayt dragon comes near the town (swimming under the sand) it causes the earth to shake. This frightens little Grogu. He hides inside a large pot used as a spittoon.

I thought Baby Yoda looked so cute hiding in a pot that I knew immediately that that was how I wanted to crochet him.  He’s not completely to scale with the pot, but that was a design choice.  I wanted more Baby Yoda on the blanket and less gray spittoon.  After all, the gray pot is only interesting because Grogu hid in it.  I didn’t want it to completely dominate the afghan.

A Design Choice

I rarely make the background of a blanket the same color as anything else in the design.  For example, if the background and Grogu’s eyes were both black.  Doing so tends to trick the brain.  Grogu’s eyes might begin to appear to be part of the background instead of part of the design.  They would then look like a hole in the image.  Nobody wants a hole in Baby Yoda!  The easiest way to avoid this is to consciously choose a different background color entirely—in this case, navy.

A Simple Border

I chose to keep my blanket simple and just added a quick border to the charted panel.  I love the mint green on the navy blue.  GKatt wasn’t sure at first about a navy background until he saw the finished blanket.  The mint and navy pairing grew on him.

The border is worked with one row of single crochet and one of reverse single crochet (or crab stitch) in MINT. I link to a video tutorial of the crab stitch below.

Directions For The Star Wars Grogu (Baby Yoda) In Pot C2C Crochet Afghan

Use standard C2C crochet (using double crochet stitches) to stitch the Grogu (Baby Yoda) in Pot C2C Crochet Afghan panel. For a refresher in C2C crochet, see the How to Corner to Corner Crochet video by the Crochet Crowd linked on the Crochet Videos page.

1. Crochet the Baby Yoda panel from the bottom right corner. Line-by-line instructions are included below.
2. Single crochet (SC) around the entire panel in NAVY, making 3 SC stitches in each corner.
3. Add a SC row around the panel in MINT, working 1 SC in each stitch and 3 SC in the middle corner stitches.
4. Work a crab stitch (reverse single crochet) row in MINT to finish the blanket. You’ll find a video tutorial of the Crab Stitch Edging on my Crochet Videos page.

Enjoy!
