thread each time you reach the top of the ear.
Eventually all will be gathered inside your final
knot. The ear is done (Figure
O
).
Trim off the excess thread on the end of the ear.
Repeat for the second ear.
MAKE THE COLLAR/SHOULDERS
Untie the overhand knots in the structural threads.
Row 25: Starting at the front, use 4 gold threads
together, knotting over 2 structural threads at
a time. Knot all the way around the base of the
head; the last knot will be gold tied around itself.
Leave these long; they’re now structural threads!
Row 26: Use 2 copper threads together, knotting
over 2 structural threads, to knot the first copper
row on the body, starting and ending in the center
of the back. Leave long, at least 5cm (Figure
P
).
BEGIN THE ARMS
Plait the green structural threads 1–3 to make an
arm, long enough to reach up to the eye and back
to the shoulder (Figure
Q
). Tie the end of the
arm back to the shoulder, using the loose fourth
green structural thread to pull the end of the plait
inside the body. For the second arm, repeat on the
opposite side (Figure
R
).
Trim excess green length from below the
shoulders. Tuck the loose green ends inside the
head. Then tie the bases of the arms together,
between the front and back structural threads.
MAKE THE BODY
Row 27: Begin the second row of copper in the
middle of the back, 2 threads together tied over
2 structural threads. Continue all the way round,
beneath the arms, 15 total knots (Figure
S
).
Row 28: Third row of copper, 17 knots.
Row 29: Fourth row of copper; miss out two
structural threads at the beginning and end of
the row, 14 knots. Leave long to become new
structural threads.
MAKE THE BASE
Row 30: Starting front and center, begin the first
row of the base, using 2 gold threads, knotting
around 2 structural threads, 21 knots (Figure
T
).
Row 31: Tie the second row on the base, knotting
around 4 structural threads.
Row 32: Tie the third row, knotting around 8
W
structural threads (Figure
U
).
Trim threads and poke them inside
the body to make a flat base (Figure
V
).
MAKE THE SLEEVES
Knot copper thread around the arm 8 times. You
can knot in the same direction if you want, or
alternate directions to get a straight ridge on one
side of the arm. Tie the copper ends to the body
and poke the thread inside the body.
Make the second sleeve the same as the first.
It’s finished!
THE KID’S COMING WITH ME
Baby Yoda makes a keen gift for fellow Mando
nerds. You can make different sizes (Figure
W
)
simply by varying the thread (or yarn) size.
Variations on my first design involve different
colors, thread thicknesses, expressions on his
little face, and naked baby versions where you can
see his little feet.
I’ve also made several macramé creatures
that Baby Yoda has been compared to (Figure
X
). Most similar is the Toy Story alien, much
like Baby Yoda but with upturned ears, three
eyes, and antenna. Pikachu and Stitch also have
very similar body designs. The Minion Stewart
is much simpler.See them all at instagram.

Take care of this little one. Or maybe, it’ll take
care of you.
