Knit an Adult-sized Grogu Hat

My 22 year-old daughter loves the Mandolian. During the first few episodes, Grogu was simply known as "Baby Yoda" Many Yoda hats online, are actually just baby-sized.

I wanted to make my daughter one, so thought I would document the process and share here in case anyone else wanted an adult-sized version as well.

Follow along to see how I created this fun hat for my daughter
