Star Wars Day is almost here, and I can barely contain myself because it is ONE OF MY FAVORITE days of the year! I’ve got some out-of-this-galaxy knitting fun for you to celebrate! Whether you’re a Jedi, a Rebel, or just here for the cozy vibes, I’ve got two FREE Star Wars-inspired knitting patterns on my site:
• R2D2 Can Cozy – This one’s a fan favorite! Knit in the round with duplicate stitch details and R2’s signature striping, it’s the droid your drink has been looking for. Link to pattern here!
• Lightsaber Chapstick Holder – Perfect for on-the-go rebels! This tiny but mighty project is fun, fast, and makes a great gift or party favor. Link to pattern here!
I couldn’t write a Star Wars knitting post without mentioning my Star Wars sweater that I knitted almost 15 years ago (How has it been that long?!) I adapted Kate Davie’s, “Paper Dolls” sweater to become my “Paper Droids” sweater instead. My Ravelry notes detail all the changes on how I made this happen, and how you can too!
To take your celebration to hyperspace, why not host a Star Wars watch party? Throw on your favorite episode (or all of them—no judgment here!), invite some fellow fans, and knit the night away. Don’t forget the themed snacks—Wookiee Cookies, Lightsaber Pretzel Rods, and Yoda Soda are always a hit!
And for those who run on caffeine and hope, don’t miss my limited edition Star Wars-inspired tote bag featuring Leia kneeling before a coffee cup R2D2-style with the words:
“Coffee, you’re my only hope.”
It’s the perfect blend of fandom and function. And as you can see, each size can hold more and more yarn! This is also available as a sticker!
Grab your free patterns and shop the tote right here on creativeunicorncrafts.com!
Did you love these patterns, available merch and inspiration? How about how it wasn’t interupted with pop up ads the whole time?! I love not being interrupted too! Please consider buying me a coffee, it helps keep the website ad free and I can continue to create and bring fun stuff here!
Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth Be With You!
XOXO
