Despicable Minions

Post by Ellentje »

When I followed the link on the blog last Friday to WolfDreamer's blog with amigurumi patterns I was so happy when I saw a pattern for Despicable Minions! I totally love them, but somehow it never occured to me to make amigurimi of them.

So after racing to the store to get some yellow yarn I created these two fellows:

The pattern is just for the tall one, but it is very easy to adjust to make lots of different minions.

The pattern and many others (including lots of Pokemon) can be found on WolfDreamer's blog:

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you guys like them :D

No_need: they are not that hard to make, it is just single crochet stitches. If you don't know how to do it just ask someone you know to teach you or learn from videos, that's what I did!
