Did you lovely peeps look at the post title and think, 'Yip, she has finally lost it!" Well to be totally honest I would not blame you, except that its not madness its LOVE ! LoVe I tell you LoVe !!! I have fallen totally and unreservedly in love with MINIONS! Whations??? I hear you ask , well for those of you with movie-going-children, you know would know, they are the sweet adorable little yellow characters in Dispicable Me 2, and for those of you without children - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????
They are funny little yellow things that look like beans, they have a language all of their own, they sing and dance, do all Gru's dirty work and did I mention they are FUNNY!! Little Madame and I watch them on you tube and roll about laughing, so did I mention that they are FUNNY!! I have even relented and allow the family to eat at the Mickey D's, just because there are the toy with the happy meal...........
Soooo, I was trawling Pintrest the other night when I came across crocheted Minions - Oh JoY Oh RaPtUrE!!!!!! I saved it and the very next morning printed the pattern out to make one for MYSELF! Yes for me! But alas the pattern was a bit difficult and I found my self doing my own thing, so I began to write it all down and what follows is my very own minion pattern, and my sweet funny little minion!

Boots and Hands:
I cannot tell a lie..... I struggled with the boots and hands, I eventually got the boots right BUT did not write down the pattern and if I had to try and give it to you......Well it would be a mess and then you would be cross with me.... So my poor little Minion has wonky boots and alas NO hands as I just could not get the hands right either!!! PLEASE if any of you have a pattern for hands and boots - I would be for ever grateful...... And please forgive me for an incomplete pattern!!

So although my funny little Minion has no hands, he is still very cute! He lives with all Little Madams Minions in her room, I mean did I honestly think he was mine to keep...... Every time I walk into her room I have to smile, there he sits on the shelve, as sweet as can be, waiting for the dead of night to make MINION MISCHIEF! xxx
