About This Baby Alien Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small Baby Alien amigurumi inspired by Baby Yoda, complete with large ears, a tiny nose, and a cozy cowl. It uses worsted weight yarn and safety eyes to achieve a cuddly, collectible finish. The instructions walk you through every round, the assembly of parts, and finishing touches.

Youll work most pieces in continuous rounds for smooth shaping, with the cowl crocheted in rows. Photos and placement notes help with eye, ear, and cowl placement for an accurate finished look.

Why You'll Love This Baby Alien Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a character full of personality that fits in your hand. I enjoy how the oversized ears and tiny cowl bring so much charm with minimal fuss. The piece is quick to make yet satisfying to finish, and I love that you can customize colors and details easily. Making several in different colors is one of my favorite ways to experiment and gift something handmade.

Switch Things Up

I love to change colors to create unique characters; try pastel greens for a softer look or bright teals for a fun twist.

You can swap worsted weight yarn for DK or bulky yarn to make smaller or bigger versions—adjust hook size accordingly.

I often add embroidered eyebrows or mouth details to give a different expression to each doll I make.

Try using safety eyes of different sizes (10mm or 8mm) for a cuter, more baby-like face, or embroider eyes for a safer baby toy.

Make the cowl longer or shorter by increasing or decreasing the chain length and number of rows to change the character's style.

For a weathered look, add a small applique or patch to the cowl using contrasting yarn or felt sewn on afterward.

I sometimes add a loop at the top of the head to turn the amigurumi into a keychain or ornament—just sew a small yarn loop before finishing.

If you want posable arms, carefully insert thin craft wire inside the arms before stuffing, making sure ends are well wrapped and secured.

Personalize by adding tiny accessories like a mini scarf, a tiny bag, or a crocheted prop to match a theme or season.

To create a matching set, change the color palette slightly for each piece and display them together as a charming collection.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not placing the safety eyes between the correct rounds; place 12mm eyes between rounds 13 and 14 with six stitches between to match the pictured expression. ✗ Overstuffing the body so it becomes rigid and unbalanced; stuff the body lightly so it holds shape but remains squishy and sits flat on the bottom. ✗ Sewing the ears without bending them first can give a flat look; bend down the top of the ear and sew in the bent position so the ear looks natural. ✗ Skipping the back loop only round on the body reduces the neck shaping; work the BLO round as written to create the correct cowl fit and neck shape. ✗ Pulling color-change tails tight and not weaving them in can pucker stitches; weave in ends neatly and maintain even tension during color changes.

Info :

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. Do not stuff the ears. Your ear will have one side that bends up more than the other. This side should be at the bottom, as pictured to the right. The top of the ear will be more straight across. Bend down the tops of the ears to make them more ear-like, and sew them to the head in this bent position.

Info :

Sew the ears to Yoda's head 8-9 rounds down from the beginning circle of the head and 4-5 sts back from the eyes on either side. Wait to trim the excess yarn tail from sewing on the ears to make Yoda's eyelids.

— Eyelids & Eye Highlights :

Info :

Weave the excess yarn tail from sewing on an ear through the inside of the head, and sew 2 sts right above each eye, as pictured above. Then secure the yarn with a knot to the inside of Yoda's head.

Info :

Cut a strand of white yarn, insert it through the opening at the bottom of Yoda's head and out just below the eyes. Sew 1 white st below each eye, as pictured above. Secure with a knot to either the other end of the white strand or to the inside of the head.

Info :

Now, before fastening off, chain 1 and then single crochet through both layers across the top of the arm to close it (2 sc sts across, as pictured). Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. Weave in the ends from the color change.

Item Name (P1) :

Cuff: Attach the dark brown yarn to your hook at the color change, insert it into the arm right at the color change, and sc 6 around the arm to form a cuff. Fasten off, and weave in the ends.

Round 2 :

Ch 1, sc 41. (41 sts)

Round 3-6 :

Repeat R2. (4 total rounds)

Info :

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing. To attach the cowl, wrap it around Yoda's neck so that one end overlaps the other end by several stitches. Then with the yarn tail, sew the cowl together at the spot where the top end overlaps the bottom one. Sew from the top, inserting your yarn needle down through the top of the cowl and into the bottom end, and then up through the top piece.

Info :

Then position the cowl where you like it on the Yoda and do a stitch in the front to attach it to the Yoda's body, and then weave your yarn needle through the body and do a stitch to attach it to the back of the body as well. Secure the yarn tail to the body with a knot, cut, and weave in the end.

Info :

And there you go, you are done! Thank you so much for joining me in making a cute Yoda-inspired baby alien! Enjoy!

Assembly Instructions

  • Place and secure the 12mm safety eyes between rounds 13 and 14 on the head with 6 stitches between them and firmly press the washers onto the backs of the eyes.
  • Sew the ears to the head 8-9 rounds down from the beginning circle and 4-5 stitches back from the eyes on either side, sewing them in the bent ear position to create a natural ear shape.
  • Sew the body to the head using the yarn tail left from finishing the body; align the opening on the body with the head base and secure firmly so the figure sits upright.
  • Attach the arms to the sides of the body right below the head, positioning them symmetrically and sewing through multiple stitches for a secure hold.
  • Wrap the cowl around the neck so one end overlaps the other and sew the overlap closed, then tack the front and back of the cowl to the body to hold it in place.

Important Notes

  • 💡Except for the cowl, all parts are crocheted in continuous rounds (do not join each round).
  • 💡The cowl is crocheted flat in rows and then wrapped and sewn in place around the neck.
  • 💡Begin each circle with 'ch 2, 6 sc in first ch' as written, or substitute a magic ring with 6 sc if preferred.
  • 💡Place eyes and sew facial details before final stuffing to ensure accurate placement and shaping.
