The Knit Guru

So, I designed the minion toy and as he was becoming so darn popular, here is his buddy, the Two Eyed Minion! And yes… My mind is also thinking about the evil minions…..

All my “Despicable Me” patterns are available for free here

He is a little shorter and fatter than his buddy, and uses medium eyes rather than a large one.

You will need:
