I had a lot of fun partnering with Jems Luxe Fibers for their Trick or Treat advent box in October! I may or may not have been directly responsible for one of the tricks. I can admit, I am directly responsible for one treat: the crochet pattern included in the kit, the Winter Twilight hat! The pattern really shows off Jems’ stunning color palette that tells the story of the three witches of mythology who had to share an eye!
So now, the tricks of Halloween can be your treat! The pattern is great for any of the Monstrous Mini bulky sets from Jems Luxe Fibers. Check out the version below using the Apollo Collection. The blues and whites are perfect for ushering in winter snowfalls. And the Star Stitch detail evokes thoughts of twinkling stars in the clear cold night or snowflakes on a sunny winter day.
I hope you enjoy this trick-turned-treat!

Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas season has started. Disney has blessed us this season by introducing us to an adorable Baby Yoda. Of course, I had to have one, so I made my own Baby Yoda!
And you can have one, too! Here’s the crochet pattern to bring home your own Baby Yoda. Merry Christmas!
Baby Yoda
Materials • Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in green and tan • Stuffing • 12mm safety eyes (I used the brown colored eyes) • Tapestry needle Abbreviations
ch(s) – chain(s) dec – decrease flo – front loop only lp(s) – loop(s) ml – magic loop rev sc – reverse single crochet rnd(s) – round(s) rpt – repeat sc – single crochet sc2tog – single crochet two together st(s) – stitch(es) yo – yarn over
Notes on Amigurumi
• When working in rounds, do not join. Just continue crocheting in the next stitch creating a spiral. Use an open stitch marker to keep up with beginning of round.
• Decrease: (Insert hook in flo of next stitch, yo, pull up a lp) twice, yo, pull through all 3 lps on hook.
• Invisible Finish Off: Pull the last lp up until tail comes through st. Using tapestry needle, sew tail under next st and then through the center of the previous st. Draw yarn to back and secure. Weave in end.
