Bag Accessory

Rounds 2 to 3: SC in the next 5 stitches, chain 1, and turn. (5 SC)

Make a chain long enough to fit around the body (around 20 chains). Attach the chain to the bag base and secure the ends, so the little bag hangs bandolier-style across his body.

Finishing & Assembly

Attach the head to the body with silicone or hot glue, and attach the arms the same way. If you are using safety eyes, the tutor’s suggestion is to melt the backs slightly to secure them in place.

Check that all parts are firmly attached, add any final tufts or embroidery touches you like, and your baby Wookiee is ready to gift, display, or hang as a keychain.

Tips

Continuously check the stitch count at the end of each round to ensure accuracy and a consistent shape.

Use a skewer or small stick to help push stuffing into the small parts like the legs and arms.

For a fuzzy, furry look, gently brush the finished figure with a clean, dry brush once assembly is complete.
