We will provide a detailed step-by-step guide, including materials needed and instructions for each part of the project.

Materials Needed
To knit a mini Baby Yoda, you will need the following materials:
- Light brown yarn (dark brown can also be used)
- Filled green yarn
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Safety eyes (12 millimeters or larger)
- Needle for sewing
Knitting the Body
To begin knitting the body, start by creating a magic ring. Inside the magic ring, knit 8 low points. Close the ring and then make an increase in each stitch to have a total of 16 single stitches. Mark the rounds with a contrasting marker or thread, and continue knitting 16 single crochet stitches for three rows.
Creating the Neck
To create the neck, make a round of 16 low points, taking only the front loop of each stitch. Next, turn the knitting and knit 16 single crochet stitches, taking the complete strand. Close with a slip stitch in the first stitch and leave a thread to sew the head later.
Filling the Body
After completing the neck, it's time to fill the body. Use a suitable filling material and stuff the body to the desired firmness. Adjust and shape the filling as you go along.
Knitting the Head
To knit the head, use green yarn and start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochets inside the magic ring and then make an increase in each stitch to have a total of 16 single crochets. Mark the rounds and continue knitting as per the instructions provided.
Adding Safety Eyes and Nose
After knitting the head, it's time to add the facial features. Place the safety eyes between rounds 6 and 7, counting three stitches from each side. Insert the eyes securely and attach the safety caps. Use the remaining thread to create a small nose by making several passes between the eyes.
Attaching the Head to the Body
Once the head and body are complete, it's time to attach them together. Use a needle and thread to sew the head to the body. Make sure the head is centered and the arms are facing the eyes. Sew the head securely, adjusting the filling and making any necessary corrections.
Making the Ears
To make the ears, start with a magic ring and place three single crochets inside it. Continue knitting as per the instructions provided, making increases and decreases to shape the ear. Once the ear is complete, cut the thread leaving enough for sewing.
Sewing the Ears to the Head
To complete your mini Baby Yoda, sew the ears to the head. Place the ears about two stitches apart and aligned with the middle of the eyes. Sew the ears securely, making sure they are evenly positioned.
