Minnion crochet hats (what not to do)

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.

A plastic version !


A selction of minion eyes. 
The eyes are to small
I have a lot of different yellow yarn as I have been trying out the different kinds
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? 
The best one so far I think
