Crochet Toy Minion

This is a Minion.  He's from the movie Despicable Me.  Funny movie, the minions are the bad guy's helpers.  He's not really a bad guy after all, and his helpers are not slaves.  I was looking for a different crochet project and came across a pattern online.  It was on the blog of a 14-year old girl who crochets and she created this pattern.  I think she did a great job.  Minions can have one eye or two, I liked the idea of two eyes.  Also, we think it looks like a twinkie.

I gave this one to Otter, although the beagle really wanted it!


I can't get the picture oriented correctly.  Also, I didn't realize that it was on a black background and his feet and hands don't show up!


Minions wear overalls, the entire piece is yellow and the overalls are a separate piece.

The eyes are regular googly eyes with a crocheted frame, and then a black crocheted strap but they are actually sewn on.

Acrylic yarn, single stitch.
