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

by 4 Comments

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.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
