How to Crochet Your Own Adorable (and Slightly Mischievous) Minion

6. Expressive Eyes

  • White Base: Crochet a flat circle (6 SC → 36 SC).
  • Iris & Pupil: Layer light purple and black circles for a googly-eyed effect.
  • Eyelid: A purple crescent sewn around the eye for sleepy charm.

7. The Finishing Touches

  • Goggles: Gray yarn with a black strap. Stuff lightly and sew to the head.
  • Hair: Use thin strands of purple wool. Loop them through stitches around the head, trim, and fluff for wild, wispy hair.

Assembly Tips

  • Patience is key: Use pins to position parts before sewing.
  • Standing tall: Adjust leg placement so your minion doesn’t topple.
  • Personality: Tilt the eyes or adjust the grin to make your minion unique!
