These cute little wide mouth martian crochet sacks are taking the internet by storm in the crochet community! They are lovingly called Yip-Yips because they resemble the puppet characters from the TV show Sesame Street. Hang them around the house or on the rear view mirror in your car. They can hold a variety of trinkets and things! Fun gifts as well!
I posted a version of these Yip-Yips last year using Googly-Eye Plastic Finger Puppets (SEE THE TUTORIAL HERE) but the pattern in this post is completely crocheted and a larger size as well!
This pattern was created by Jennifer Freeman. She is the volunteer admin of my Repeat Crafter Me Crochet FB Group and she has help with writing out directions for my C2C crochet graphs. She sent over this pattern and gave me free reign to edit it and create the tutorial. Thanks Jenny!
Please pop over to her My Beautiful Disasters Etsy or Ravelry shop to see her incredible crochet designs!

Q: What is a Yip-Yip?
A: Yip-Yips are martian characters from the show Sesame Street who were afraid of things like clocks, computers, and telephones. They would hide under the bottom lip of their wide mouth when scared.

Did I miss what size crochet hook is used to make these beauties?
I used a size H! Thanks for letting me know, I just updated the pattern 🙂
my favorite hook! H
Size H
Same question hook size???
Size H
Curious as to what length did you cut your tassels. It is not explained..thanks
It looks to be approximately 3 1/2 inch to 4 inches long to my eye. Happy crocheting.
Thanks to both you and Jeniffer Freeman for this super adorable pattern. I really appreciate it and all you do to keep us hooking.
I’m happy to add these to my repertoire. I’ve been making these for years using another designer’s pattern. I use ping pong balls for the eyes and line the intrerior, since I make these for adults only as gift bags .
it’s great and I appreciate it!

I was recently looking for a Yip Yip pattern to make for my friend. I was so excited when I saw you post this! Great pattern. Love your work!
Why is there an added ch1 at the end of rounds 2-13? Doesn’t look like the original pattern from Jennifer has that. Just curious if it serves a special purpose.
Nevermind….I see that you joined and that’s why there’s a chain one, instead of working in the round with no join. My mistake!!
