Who doesn’t like this adorable and very funny animation!
The Minions are small, yellow henchmen shaped like pill capsules who have one or two eyes and a few wispy strands of black hair on their heads. They are many and I love all of them but I’ve made just only one Minion with a tiny cute bear.

Here he is!
You can do your own Minion using my free crochet pattern.

Size of ready toy: It is approx. 9cm/3.5in if you use specified yarn and hook.

The pattern can also work well with the yarn of other weight, but the size of finished crochet toy will be different.

Materials

1. For this item, I used 100 % cotton yarn: blue, yellow, white, brown, black.
2. Crochet hook 1,6 mm/7 for Minion, and 0.7mm/13 for the bear
3. Yarn Needle
4. Scissors
5. Pins
6. Black, pink, white thread embroider eyes, mouth
7. Polyester
8. Stitch marker or remaining yarn

About yarn

I recommend for this toy 2 different kind of yarns.
If you would like to crochet a toy with the same dimensions as I did, I recommend you to buy cotton yarn

1. For Minion - weight sport (for crochet hook #2.5-3.5 mm):
2. For the bear - crochet thread n.10 (for crochet hook #1.3-1.5 mm)

About pattern
Skill level: Beginner/Intermediate.
Work in continuous rounds using a stitch marker (or remaining yarn) unless otherwise specified.

This pattern is written in American terms:
MR - magic ring
ch – chain stitch
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
invdec -invisible decrease (2 sc together)
inc – increase (2 sc in one stitch)
(…)* – repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
FO - fasten off (1 sl st to the next stitch)
BLO - crochet through the back loop only

We start crocheting arms first, then, we crochet legs and a body, then we crochet body with arms together.

Thank you!
Enjoy!
