mm (for 1-eyed Minion
·
Worsted Weight Yarn; Yellow, White,
Black or Blue

I used:
Vanna Lion Brand, “Duckie” yellow
Caron One Pound or Caron Simply Soft, white
Red Heart Soft, black
Vanna Lion Brand, Aqua (blue)
when I use the blue to border, & a little Grey to border around the eyes.
Sizing: The sizing chart HERE and other sizing information were so very helpful for me when I started to custom fit beanies.
Note:
The Ch 2 at beginning does NOT count as a DC. This beanie is made to fit a
toddler or small child. I plan to make a pattern for all sizes later this
month. The Owl beanies from Repeat Crafter Me HERE inspired me to create this hat.This is my very first written pattern, so if you have any questions
about the pattern, or if you find any errors please email me at cutiecouturecrochet@gmail.com , or leave a comment, I
will be more than happy to help and edit.
Feel free to sell your beanie, just don’t sell the pattern please

Attach eyes to beanie with a yarn needle before sewing on the buttons. I like
to sew along the inside of the single crochet round. Place the eyes along the
black strip of your beanie and center them, make sure to leave a little room
along the bottom of beanie for the smile. After you attach the eyes with
regular needle and thread, sew on the buttons, you can use black or brown
buttons, the size is completely up to you I used ½ inch buttons for the 2-eyed
Minion, and about a ¾ inch button for the 1-eyed Minion
Hair
Cut
about 6 inch strands of black pull though with crochet hook on top of beanie,
tie in a knot a couple of times. Give the little fella a hair cut, whatever
looks good to you. You can do a few strands right on top, or place them all
over the top.
Smile (Optional)
With
black yarn and a yarn needle, back stitch a half smile.
Braided Earflap
For each ear cut 3, 1 yard in
each color (yellow, white, black/blue) Slip through the sc on the bottom of
earflap, Pull through and braid down 6 inches, tie off bottom and trim the ends
off to about an inch.
Weave in all ends.
