Tiny Crochet Yoda Hat

When our close friends announced they were expecting, I was so excited.  They are huge Star Wars fans.  I knew I would have to get creative.  I came up with this cute little infant crocheted yoda beanie.

For this project I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Olive with a size G hook.  The following pattern works well with thicker yarn (and can easily be made larger by adding extra Rnd 2's).

The ear pattern can be found here.  There were a lot of different 'styles' of ears, but I liked these because they were easy to shape and sew on the beanie.

I was pretty happy with how the hat turned out, although if I make it again, I would sew the ears on a bit more straight out to the side.  We threw our friends a co-ed Star Wars baby shower, it turned out great (more to come on that) and they loved the baby yoda hat.
