Grandma to the rescue! Thanks to her crochet skills Jellybean’s Minion Hat is done!! She sent me the minion eyes…

  

I still need to do some more tacking of the eyes to both secure them for baby hands and make them lay attractively.
  

The eyes are a little high and kind of googley are adorable nonetheless  

I don’t have the stats on the total yarn used but it was a great stashbuster of leftover bits. It’s Caron Simply Soft in Sunshine, Black, Cobalt Blue, and White. My ravelry page is here.

Now I just need to figure out how to get Jellybean to model this and keep it on his head for more than 30 seconds. I think I have secured the necessary overalls for his Halloween costume but I still need to find a yellow shirt. Not to mention get my but in gear on the Gru scarf! It’s less than two months to Halloween!

Happy Knitting! 

A Growing Minion

 Thanks to some 4th of July grandparents time I’ve made some progress on my mini minion hat!

   

I’ve completed the goggle band and ready to start the crown decreases. Unfortunately I’m out of the sunshine yellow (insert face palm here). I’ve been to two Walmarts and a Joanns so far with no dice. Apparently neon yellow is in and sunshine is out. My last hope is Michaels so fingers crossed!

I also attempted to make eyes for the minion using YouTube tutorials. Let’s just say I need more practice. My mom saw my attempts, giggled and then promised to make them for me. So I left the yarn in her hot little hands!

Happy knitting!!

Another hat for Jellybean!

  
I’m improvising this hat as I go. I cast on 100 stitches on US 4s with a long tail cast on. I will work some ribbing then switch to stockinette. I will need to work in a black a black stripe for the goggle band. As for the eyes I’m going to have to ask my mother for some help. Crochet in the round is something I’ve yet to grasp.

  
I’m also toying with idea of adding hair to the top? I really want jellybean to be some form of a minion for Halloween. My husband would make a wonderful Gru and I could maybe aim for Agnes? It wouldn’t take a lot of sewing just some thrift store diving. I just wish I had the bandwidth to knit Gru’s scarf for the hubby, lol. I’ll have to think about that one….

Happy Knitting
