Fun Star Wars Knitting Patterns

by

As I write this it is May the Fourth, an unofficial Star Wars-related holiday, so it seemed only fitting that I share some Star Wars knitting patterns with you.

Last year I shared some simple coffee cup cozies that are super cute and easy to knit in Garter Stitch and embellish to look like characters from the movies.

Of course I couldn’t do a Star Wars knitting roundup without Nicole Kostelec’s knit Death Star, which is a thing of beauty and good sized, too, about 14 inches. Or go smaller scale with the Death Star Beanie from Jen Cornelius.

Or Sarah Rudder’s lifesize R2D2, the original of which was made to fit a cement pillar for a yarn bombing. If you like your R2s smaller, try the can cozy R2D2 from Robin Barnhill.

If you need a knit light saber, Carolyn Joan has a good pattern.

Of course there are knit Yodas. My favorite is probably Valerie Johnson’s Yodagurumi, but I also love the Yoda baby bottle cozy by Gabrielle Thériault, which actually inspired the other pattern. And if you want a Yoda hat, I recommend The Force You Shall Feel from Jenifer Spock-Rank. And Phoney’s May the Mouse Be with You is pretty darn adorable, too.

Feeling more “The Force Awakens”? Why not knit a BB8 (the pattern is from the Knit Guru) or a BB8 Hat? (Hey, I made one of those, too!)

And the good guys shouldn’t get all the good knits, so check out the Stormtrooper Hat from Lorraine Prior and JennyPenny’s amazing Dark Side mittens.

Can’t decide if you’re feeling light or dark today? Don’t miss the spectacular double knit Pick Your Side Cowl from Tricothon — it features the Death Star on one side and Rebel fighters on the other. So cool.

Looking for more Mandalorian Star Wars Knitting Patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

Wondering why there is a new hype on Yoda or Baby Yoda? Have you seen the Star Wars show The Mandalorian ? Well everyone loved Yoda the first time around and now that he is baby Yoda he is even more adorable. This project is easily adapted for a Baby Yoda pattern, craft project and or tutorial.

Adorable Ghost Knitting Patterns

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair. 

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round. 

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like. 

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately. 

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
