My Chewbacca turned out better than I thought. I was concerned that there was too much contrast between the two hair colours I had chosen. But once I had brushed the yarn, my anxiety was put to rest. On his own, Chewbacca doesn't seem to stand very tall, but next to the rest of the Star Wars gang, you can see that he indeed stands taller than the rest. With the exception of R2-D2, all characters were created using medium weight [4] yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. Materials used:
3.5mm crochet hook, stuffing, safety eyes (7.5mm). Chewbacca's hair is made with two different colours: 1. Lion Brand Heartland in Sequoia; medium weight [4], 100% acrylic. Approximately 15 g needed. 2. Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Taupe; medium weight [4], 100% acrylic. Approximately 15g needed. Bag and Bandolier: 3. Lion Brand Vanna's Choise in Pale Grey; medium weight [4], 100% acrylic. Less than 5g needed. 4. Loops & Threads Impeccable in Pumpkin; medium weight [4], 100% acrylic. Less than 5g needed A small amount of black yarn is also needed for Chewbacca's nose and mouth.

Hi Pat and Cynthia, the pattern is not mine; I followed the pattern from a Star Wars book by Lucy Ravenscar. You can go to her Etsy store to purchase the pattern: http://www.lucyravenscar.etsy.com
