Wouldn’t it be nice to have your own personal minions to do your dirty work?! I kept telling Matt I wanted a bunch of the ones from “Despicable Me” & he told me I should make my own…so I did.

I used Aran weight yarn to make my minion on size 5 needles. My gauge was about 5 stitches per inch. My minion is about 4 inches tall & 6 inches around. You can use any size yarn & needles you want just make sure you are getting a tight knit so the stuffing doesn’t show through. The bigger the yarn & needles the bigger the minion & vice versa.
Supplies:
- Yarn of choice in yellow, denim blue & black (you need just the littlest bit of each)
- Four double pointed needles of the appropriate size
- tapestry needle
- Two 3/4-inch flat white buttons with shanks (or buttons appropriate sized to your minion)
- black & silver acrylic paint
- thick tacky craft glue
- poly-fil stuffing
