UTINI! Say, what are you trying to pull? This fuzzy little scavenger will haggle his way into the hearts of big and small Star Wars fans. You can make this 4 inch (10 cm) yarn doll yourself, or sweet-talk your favorite auntie into making it for you.

How he came to be: I wanted to make a cute, super-simple Jawa with a Japanese-inspired kawaii look: big head, small body (think Hello Kitty and Power Puff Girls). The crocheted bandoleer drapes across his body, with lots of little “pockets” for holding his ammo or ill-gotten gains.

Pattern is for beginner-to-intermediate crochet skills. You will need to know how to read a crochet pattern and do chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, magic loop, and single crochet decrease. You will need C/2.75 mm, E/3.5 mm, and F/3.75 mm crochet hooks. Doll parts are made by spiral rounds. Definitions of stitch abbreviations are included. Photo illustrations included.
