This Yoda beanie is designed for an adult male with a 24-inch head circumference. When laying this beanie flat, it measures 11 inches across and is just over 8.5 inches tall. If you need a different size you can add rounds or you can use your favorite beanie pattern and just use the Yoda ears from this pattern. I also have a free 3-6 month size Yoda hat crochet pattern available. This pattern is a custom fit for a family member. If you are not sure of what size you need, I would suggest checking out the size chart at the bottom of the post that I discovered on Crochet In Color.

Thanks for sharing your pattern!
Thank you for sharing a fun and out of this world hat pattern. I really enjoyed it and from that I have managed to also create a princess Leia hat as well. It will make our Schools open day much more fun and will sure to have heads turning and plenty of giggles 😀 I will post any pics on my Google+ page tonight and next Saturday … Thanks again 🙂 ♥
Hdc 2 together? What do you mean by that?
My ears are to floppy, how can I fix it
Either double up your yarn or go down a hook size.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATTERNS I LOVE THEM QND LOVE TO MAKE THEM KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK THANKS AGAIN LOVE GRAMS
The ear instructions are confusing. Says to use two strands of yarn ??
If you hold two strands of yarn together, it makes it thicker, stronger and more stiff. Ideal for ears you want sticking out and not floppy.
