Happy Star Wars Day: 5 Free Star Wars Amigurumi Patterns

As every sci-fi fan out there knows, May 4th is celebrated around the world as Star Wars Day! In celebration of the day, we’ve collected together some of the best Star Wars amigurumi patterns to help you bring your favourite characters to life!

1. Han Solo

First up we’ve got the one, the only: Han Solo! This adorable little amigurumi pattern by @Ankita Palit is made with five different coloured yarns so it’s very detailed. You’ll need to know the basics of crochet such as magic rings, increase, and decrease.

Here are the supplies you’ll need:

• DK yarn (we recommend this Cygnet 100% cotton DK yarn for most amigurumi projects)

• KnitPro 2.75mm crochet hook

• Cocoknits stitch marker

• Clover darning needle

• Embroidery scissors

• Filling

• Safety eyes

2. Princess Leia Organa

This next pattern by @Ankita Palit is of Princess Leia and she dons her signature white hood and space buns! If you’re making Han Solo, you’ve got to make Princess Leia as well! This pattern is very similar to the previous pattern in terms of the crochet techniques required, so all you need in addition is white yarn!

• DK yarn

• Clover darning needle
