Yoda Beanies

I found a pattern online for a Yoda beanie and HAD to make it for my son...


And, as always, I made a baby beanie/diaper cover set too....

 (Look at my post Diaper Cover Patterns for more about my diaper covers)


(Every pattern that I currently have available to download is in Word format and is downloadable on my Scribd. If I do not have a pattern there, then I do not have a downloadable version of it. Please do not e-mail me with requests of patterns, as I most likely will not even check my e-mail. I apologize for this but I have a full-time job now and no longer keep up with the pattern requests. Thanks, and here is the link to my Scribd: https://www.scribd.com/ashley_holden_14)


Beanies
The beanie was made with my General Beanie Pattern (but I added 2 rows of  "DC around" to the end of the pattern, because the yarn was thinner than usual & to make sure they cover completely over the person's ears.....you might have to do the same). The best colored yarns that I found were I Love This Yarn's Mid. Green & Light Sage.

Yoda Ears (found patterns here for small & here for large)
There are a couple of special stitches here, so I wanted to link to some good video tutorials for them:
HDC 2 together (using 1st method shown)

Small (for use with sizes 0-9 months)
I used a size F hook
Make two of them, of course

Using TWO strands of yarn:

******Credit is given where due, I don't claim any patterns to be mine that are not. If you use this pattern please link back to Butterfly’s Creations, please do not claim patterns as your own that are not yours. I also ask that you do not repost my pattern, it takes quite a bit of time to count everything out and type these up so please give credit where it's due. *****
