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 shadow 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.

Patchwork Blanket Knitting Patterns

Any time of year is a good time for stash busting, but if you can combine it with knitting a blanket that will keep you warm when it (finally!) gets cooler that’s even better. Let’s take a look at some fun patchwork blanket knitting patterns. 

If you want to keep it super simple, you can just make blocks of garter stitch and sew them together, like the beginner’s patchwork baby blanket from Mini Baa Baa or the color block blanket from Make and Do Crew. Both projects are worked in strips and sew together, with the baby version calling for two strands of DK or light worsted weight yarn held together and the larger one using bulky yarn. 

Add a little more texture with the mixed blocks of the cottage quilt throw from Mama in a Stitch. This one combines garter stitch and seed stitch and uses worsted weight yarn. She used a crochet join to make the chains on top of the blocks, but you can join them however you like. It calls for eight colors but you can use what you have, and there are three size options. 

Get a real sampler style patchwork blanket with this design from Knit Sew Make. It calls for worsted weight yarn and has four size options. All of the patterns just use knit and purl stitches so this one is still pretty easy for beginners. 

If you want a more complex colorwork project that will keep you entertained all season, try the Peace by Piece blanket pattern from Needle and Feather. This one is made up of two color colorwork blocks and calls for worsted weight yarn. You can choose to use just a few of the blocks and repeat them more often, or make multiples of the whole set. 

The knitted patchwork recipe from Martine Ellis (free on Ravelry) uses mitered squares in fingering weight yarn, so it’s perfect for using up all your leftover sock yarn and mini skeins. This one is a tutorial more than a pattern so you can make your blanket as big as you like or keep going until you run out of yarn. 

Susan B. Anderson’s 100 Squares blanket (find it on Ravelry) has a lot of mitered squares, too, but they’re arranged in fun ways and includes some quilt inspired designs as well. This one also is a bit of method more than pattern but it sure looks like a lot of fun for using all the leftovers. 

Of course you can totally improvise a patchwork blanket using the yarn and stitches you like, but I hope these patterns inspire you to look at your leftover yarn in a new way.
