What you need to know

Patience you must have, young knitter. Through loops and rows, a wise companion you will create.

Want to keep the advice of the Jedi Master right in your pocket? Now you can! The head and body are knit in the round in one continuous piece using the Magic Loop method, and the ears, limbs and cane are also worked in the round for minimal finishing. Yoda’s robe is worked flat back and forth, with stitches cast off for the armholes, then later picked up around the opening and knit to form sleeves. Purl marks are added for easy placement of his ears, eyes and arms, allowing this pocket version of the 900-year-old Jedi to come together with minimal fuss.
