Welcome to another part of the crochet “ultimate way to crochet no-sew iconic character plushies” series. Today, learn how to crochet this little smiling and sitting green Alien in a brown outfit plushie with a step-by-step tutorial + a written guide as well. We all know this plushie as the no-sew Baby Yoda plushie, but this time, it is designed the same as other character plushies in this series and the same sitting doll base.

Our crochet no-sew and festive Baby Yoda plush has little no-sew legs and arms, crochet-as-you-go ears, and a simple no-sew outfit that is crocheted with the head as you work the plushie. This simple design makes this crochet Baby Yoda plush super quick and easy.

Last year, I shared two patterns for the crochet green Alien in a brown outfit plushie. One was the smallest, keychain-sized Baby Yoda plush, and one was a slightly bigger version. You all loved both these plushies equally, and I am very thankful for that. Now, I am sharing the pattern to crochet this 8 cm Baby Yoda plush, which is the simplest of all previous plushies I have shared. You can also crochet one as a present for a little one.

Pattern to Crochet the Little No-Sew Baby Yoda Plushie

This crochet project is a tiny Baby Yoda plush toy keychain. You crochet the body and the head in one piece from the bottom up. You crochet the feet, hands, and ears directly onto the toy as you go, so there is almost no sewing required.

You use brown plush yarn for the coat and green plush yarn for the head, hands, feet, and ears. Small safety eyes or glued eyes, a sewn nose, and an embroidered mouth complete the face. The finished toy measures around 8 centimeters, making it a quick project to make as a keychain or bag charm.
