This cute little Minion is just 2.5 inches or 6cm when standing and knitted in double knit yarn. It is a very simple pattern, and a good pattern to start with if you haven’t made a toy before.

You can sell your finished Minion! Just credit me as the designer.

A 4.5 inch Minion is available for sale on Ravelry so you can make a whole family!
