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.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
