Minions!

Today's project comes to you thanks to my sister-in-law, who asked me to make a set of minion hats for her friend's grandbabies.  Luckily I knew this was something I could do!  I don't know about you, but I think the minions are a pretty great character.  When my SIL asked me to make these, I was excited.  I knew they would be awesome. In typical TYG fashion I posted the photo with the two completed hats to Facebook and they were a huge hit!  Thank you to those of you who have ordered already!  For those of you who are interested in ordering a Minion Hat, please see the special order page for instructions.

Now on to those of you who may be interested in making your own Minion.  First I have to say I can in no way take credit for the original pattern, because I did not create it.  All I did was figure out the color scheme to modify the pattern to make a Minion.  For the basic hat pattern, please see the pattern posted on Repeat Crafter Me here.

Now on to the important part. First look at the number of rounds in the pattern. For newborn-children hats figure one row for blue, three rows for yellow, one row for black, and the rest is yellow.  Now that will confuse some because it is backward.  I wrote it like that because it makes the most sense.  If you need further clarification, please let me know!  For teen-large adult hats figure three rows for blue (the last one being hdc) and then follow the same color pattern for the newborn to child hats.

I am always happy to field questions, so bring them on!
