The Minion’s body must be crocheted with “Romashka” yarn, while other details are crocheted with “Iris” yarn. The stuffing material used in this toy is polyester wadding. The piece of felt must be 1.5 mm thick.

Tip 1

The toy must be crocheted with tight stitches to ensure that there aren’t any holes through which stuffing material can be seen. All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. Avoid small holes when stretching crochet fabric; if there are tiny holes, use a smaller size hook. To avoid seams, all details are crocheted in a spiral without slip stitch and lifting loops. To keep track of the beginning of the row, use a marker such as a colored pin or a thread of contrasting color.

Tip 2

To keep track of the beginning of the row, use a marker. Pin the marker to the last loop of the row. Every new row must be finished with a loop at the marker.

3. Body

Tip 3

To avoid uneven edges, all details made in spiral technique must be finished with a slip stitch.
