Etsy Feature – PDF Pattern: Star Wars Baby Yoda Dishcloth/Washcloth

by

Baby Yoda has been going crazy over on the crochet blog. I didn’t want our knitters to miss out on all the fun, so here is a Baby Yoda dishcloth pattern.  This dishcloth is part of the Star Wars collection.

This listing is for the pattern to make the Baby Yoda dishcloth/washcloth.

This pattern includes easy to follow instructions (Ex. Row 1: K1, P3, K2, P4, etc.) as well as the grid/chart I created and used to write out the pattern.

Dishcloths/washcloths can be made using any 100% cotton medium/worsted weight yarn. this pattern has used Lily Sugar ‘N Cream and Walmart’s Peaches & Creme yarns for my dishcloths/washcloths. I find that with the regular size balls of yarn I can knit 1 dishcloth/washcloth and will have yarn left over to make some matching scrubbies.

So why are the baby Yoda patterns all disappearing so quickly?  The Copyright hounds are sniffing them out faster than crafters can download the free patterns and paid Yoda patterns. Etsy is right on top of copyright issues when it comes to Disney, Etsy have been deactivating sales listings after getting complaints directly from Disney over the usage of the words such as  “Star Wars,” “Mandalorian,” and “Yoda”. Which are all trademarked.

So how do you find a Baby Yoda Knitting pattern? Well, firstly you don’t use the words Baby Yoda Pattern.  Instead, artists and crafters are dodging the copyright bullet by calling their Crochet, knitting and sewing Baby Yoda patterns. Some of these names  Baby Child, Baby Alien pattern or  Child alien. Basically any variation that doesn’t say Yoda.

Should we be hating on Disney?  Disney has the legal right to enforce its intellectual property and prevent others from profiting off its work, just because they are the BIG guys doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate their items being copied, right?

But not all crafters believe in this. So if you are a non-believer and think we should STICK IT to the big guys then make sure if you see a pattern you want, you download, buy it or order it straight away so you don’t miss out.

Knit a Garter Stitch Blanket with a Twist

When I first started knitting again after a long absence from the craft (which has now been almost 25 years ago!) I really didn’t like garter stitch that much. I found it super boring, somehow even more boring than knitting stockinette stitch in the round, even though it’s exactly the same thing.

Over the years I’ve softened my opinion, and even grown to like garter stitch. There’s nothing wrong with being plain, and actually the texture of garter stitch is more interesting than stockinette.

Also there are fun things you can do with garter stitch to make it more interesting if you want to, such as adding stripes, working on the bias, or doing fun effects to change the look.

That’s the way with the Bernat Twist My Way Garter Knit Blanket. Using combinations of casting on and binding off creates what they call a Swiss cheese effect along two sides of the blanket. This is a lot of fun in the self-striping ombre yarn they chose for the pattern, but it would also be fun in a solid color or making your own stripes.

Despite the dramatic effect, this pattern is rated easy. It’s worked from side to side (if you consider the “cheesy” edges the top and bottom) and has an eight-row repeat that involves binding off and then casting on again to make the holes. They’re kind of like giant buttonholes.

Once you get the hang of it it’s a pretty easy repeat to remember, and it will be smooth knitting as big as you want to make it.

You can download this pattern from the Yarnspirations website for free, or you can buy a kit direct from them that includes the yarn you need (and knitting needles if you need those, too). Bernat Sport Ombre Twist, which is what is used in the pattern, comes in 12 self patterning colors and is a DK weight acrylic yarn.
