2.5 Inch Minion

If you're looking to create a delightful toy, this adorable little Minion knitting pattern is perfect for you! Standing at just 2.5 inches (or 6 cm), this charming Minion is made with double knit yarn, making it a fantastic project for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The pattern is simple and straightforward, offering a great introduction to toy-making if you haven't tried it before.

**Materials Needed:** To make your own cute Minion, you will need the following supplies: 3.25mm or US size 3 knitting needles, 3.25mm or US size 3 double pointed knitting needles, a small amount of yellow double knit yarn, a small amount of blue double knit yarn, a small amount of black double knit yarn, a small quantity of stuffing, black embroidery thread, and some googly eyes to bring your Minion to life.

**Techniques Used:** Throughout the pattern, you will utilize a variety of knitting techniques, including casting on (we recommend the thumb method for easy casting), stocking stitch, KFB (knit front and back), PFB (purl front and back), K2tog (knit two together), P2tog (purl two together), and assembling the pieces with mattress stitch for a seamless finish.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can experiment with different yarn types and needle sizes. For example, if you use a fluffy yarn instead of double knit, your Minion will come out significantly larger, giving you endless possibilities for personalization!
