In the film Despicable Me 2 some of the minions got names:
Since my dad is called Kevin and I was looking for a new crochet project after the monster amigurumi, I decided to have a go at making a Kevin crochet minion.
I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times and was enjoying experimenting with different crochet shapes to get just the right look. There were quite a few tries before I was happy with the final look:
A bonus was that when put together little Kevin was able to stand up on his own.
This wasn’t a quick project as there was lots of undoing and redoing and working on small details, but I really enjoyed the process and am very happy with the finished character.
Here are some photos of Kevin exploring his new home:
He looks great could do with a companion though
Thanks Mum. Yes, we wouldn’t want him to get lonely…
He is soooo cute. Kevin definitely needs a little friend ; )
Hi Alexandra,
I love your crocheted minions!
I have an officemate named Kevin, and we have been trying to find one of the McDonald’s Kevin the Minion for him. I was wondering if you have a pattern for your crocheted Kevin, andwhere you got it, or if you would be willing to share it with me. I crochet, but I’m not expert enough to create my own figures.
Many thanks,
Ginny
Hi Ginny,
Thank you 🙂
I didn’t use a pattern for the minions I made, so I just have rough notes to myself which aren’t really in a shareable state. However I believe a few other people have posted crochet minion patterns so if you search for those hopefully you will find something that fits the bill.
Good luck with your search for a Kevin minion for your office mate!
Alex
