Star Wars Inspired Ornaments by Andy’s Cozy Crochet This pattern has instructions for three different ornaments. They are great for a Christmas tree, keychain, backpack, etc. Supplies: Worsted Weight yarn in fern green, white, black, and grey. Size 4.00mm (G) crochet hook Yarn needle Polyfil or fiberfil Notes: *These are done in amigurumi style, make sure your gauge is tight enough so stuffing doesn’t show through but not so tight that you can’t stick your hook through. Use an appropriate hook size to reach the appropriate gauge. *It is meant to be worked in JOINED rounds, so yarn changes aren’t obvious and everything looks centered and even. *How you change yarn colours for the Death Star is up to you – if you want to slip stitch it in, or fasten off and join in, or use a jogless stripes method, any of these are fine. *Details are back-stitched on with a yarn needle. Abbreviations: (American terminology) MR – magic ring ch – chain sl – slip stitch sc – single crochet hdc – half double crochet dc – double crochet BLO – back loops only spike – spike stitch – instead of making your stitch in the last row’s loops, insert your hook into the row below it – this will help make a ‘puffy’ row. inc – increase dec – decrease st/sts – stitch/stitches **Normally you may sell items made from my patterns as long as you credit Andy’s Cozy Crochet as the pattern creator.

I make a sc using one piece of the ‘v’ created by the spike stitches as the st loop. It is most important that there are 18 sc sts made and that the spike stitches create a ridge that sticks out. Stitch on black details – Backstitch the top line between rows 4 and 5, stitch on eyes and other details as desired.
