Description
The entire pattern is written in US terminology. The head and the arms are based on the pattern from Brittmarie Rosendahl and can be found here: http://brittasami.blogspot.se/search/label/Baby%20blanket%20%28free%29 Check out her blog and patterns! They are awesome. I love them and can't get enough of them! For clarity of this pattern, I will quote the needed parts here and add the colour changes needed for yoda.

Blanket
TheblanketpatternI found here: http://forum.knit-a-square.com/forum/topics/gramma-cookies-solid-granny Check it out! It is written by Rona Malewit, and it is very clear! Check out her patterns on Ravelry as well. To keep it clear, I will quote her pattern and add the colour changes needed for the yoda blanket. Round 1 in dark brown: Into a Magic Ring, ch 4, (3 dc, ch 2) three times, 2 dc, sl st in 3rd ch of ch 4 to close the first round. Make sure you change to off white/creme in the last st. (Ilf you don't know to work a Magic Ring or are afraid to try one, ch 4, sl st to first ch to make a ring, then continue from ch 4 above, working the stitches into the center of the ring, like any other granny square) Round 2: Sl st into the same ch2 space, ch 4, 2 dc in ch 2 space, (dc in each dc across, 2 dc in next ch 2 space, ch 2, 2 dc in same ch 2 space), repeat around the square but change to dark brown for three dc's in the center of your work to create the line down and then change back to off white/creme, ending with 1 dc in ch 2 space [over the sl st in the row below], sl st to top of ch 4 Round 3 and on: Repeat Round 2 and keep the dark brown line going down. For round 7 change to dark brown and make one entire row in brown before changing back to off white/creme. After that keep the brown line downwards going. After round 12, chain 1, crochet around in single crochets, putting 3 sc in each corner. End with a sl st in the first sc and fasten off.
Finishing touch
Line up the ears and arms in one line and make sure the ears are slightly above the center of the head like on the pictures below and sew them on.
Sew the head to the blanket, with the face in line with the brown line like below.
Embroid the eyes and mouth the way you want them with black.
Sew in all ends. And you're done! Please have fun making the Little Yoda Baby Blanket for anyone you want. But keep in mind that me and the other pattern writers have worked very hard on this, so we ask you to respect our work and do not sell this pattern. We made it for free for a reason, let's keep it that way.
