NOTES:

  1. THIS PATTERN IS WRITTEN IN US TERMS
  2. THIS PATTERN IS WRITTEN FOR THE RIGHT HANDED CROCHETER
  3. THIS PATTERN IS WRITTEN FOR THE ADVANCED BEGINNER
  4. APPROXIMATE HEIGHT OF FINISHED DOLLS IS 6”
  5. THESE DOLLS WERE INSPIRED BY ACTUAL PEOPLE AND CREATED TO THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
  6. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRITTEN IN A WAY SO THAT YOU CAN EASILY ADJUST THEM TO CREATE YOUR OWN PERSON INSPIRED MINION 
  7. THIS PATTERN WAS WRITTEN SO THAT YOU CAN EASILY ADJUST SZ BY SWITCHING HOOK SIZES RATHER THAN HAVING TO CHANGE NUMBER OF ROWS/STITCHES
  8. YOU MUST KNOW BASIC STITCHES IN ORDER TO CREATE THIS PROJECT.
  9. THERE ARE NO COMPLICATED STITCHES, HOWEVER, I LABELED THIS AS ADVANCED BEGINNER BECAUSE YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO CROCHET TIGHTLY (TO KEEP STUFFING FROM POKING THROUGH), YOU MUST UNDERSTAND HOW TO CROCHET INTO A PROJECT (SC ON TOP OF FINISHED AREA, HOW GRANDPAS HAIR IS CREATED), HOW TO ADD HAIR TO A PROJECT (SIMILAR TO WORKING A LATCH HOOK RUG  FOR GRANDMA), AND HOW TO WORK IN A SPIRAL ROUND.
