The Minions are back and now they have got their own movie, too!!:-). It has given me the motivation to finish some of the crochet minion hats I was making for the hat presentation last summer. Unfortunatly I was not able to finish them in time for the presentation. During autumn I struggled trying a lot of different yarn, a lot of different colours and making a lot of different types of eyes (oh, my - the time I have spent crocheting eyes!) Well, the result is not what I hoped for. Sometimes I wish I just would follow a pattern and stick to it.

This is the first one I made. The eyes ar kind of big (filled with cotton) and trying the hat on one of my nephews I realized it looked horrible on. |

The eyes are to small |

Something wrong about these eyes too, |

The eyes should be closer to each other. They do look like little bandits don't they? |

And how horrible can a pair of crochet eyes turn out? |
