A Merry Minion Christmas

I previously made a post about crocheting Despicable Me minion hats for a friend's little boys.  Here is a picture of the oh so handsome little men in their new hats!

I also made minion hats for two lovely little girls.  I was running out of yellow yarn and decided that pink would be perfect for these little ladies!

I think I will be busy making more minion hats as several adult friends have requested their own.

Whaaaaaat?!?

I have been crocheting like crazy this week!  I originally saw these Despicable Me minion hats on Pinterest.  I absolutely love this movie as do my best friend's little boys!  I thought this would be such a great Christmas present for them!  I got my pattern from Elizabeth Mohsin.  It cost me about $4.00. The pattern comes with six different sizing options from newborn to adult.  The body of the hat would work with any hat pattern but I was interested to see how she did the eyes.  In retrospect, I could probably have come up with my own pattern but Christmas is almost here and this saved me some time. 

I tried to make each one a little different...if they have the same eyes then they have different smiles and hair.  I can't wait to see these on their heads!  Only one more week! 

Minnie Hat and Matching Tutu

My sister and I are absolutely crazy about Disney so I could not pass up making this sweet little hat when I found the FREE pattern online.  It was extremely easy and quick to crochet!  It is sized for a newborn.
Unfortunately the original author of this pattern removed it from her blog due to copyright worries.

 

This definitely needed a matching tutu!  I measured the circumference of a newborn sized skirt and cut my elastic 2" shorter.  I cut my tulle in 6" wide strips and then doubled the skirt length to cut the length of my tulle.  Several slipknots later, I had a new adorable outfit for my lil' lady!
