This is a totally free crochet pattern for my favorite Minion = Bob. He’s got his teddy with him and teddy is of course included in the pattern.

Size:

Minion Bob is 25cm/10inch tall when made with the recommended yarn.

Materials needed:

Yarn: DK weight yarn. I used 4ply milk cotton yarn and that yarn is exactly the same as Catona’s Softfun yarn. You will need these colors:

• Yellow: 230-260m/ 250-285yd
• Blue: 110-140m/ 120-155yd
• Black: 90-120m/ 100-130yd
• White: 30-60m/ 35-65yd
• Grey: 30-60m/ 35-65yd
• Brown: 60-90m/ 65-100yd
• Green: small amount (for if you want crocheted eyes)
• Dark brown: small amount for the teddy’s nose
• Light pink: small amount for the tongue

**If you click on the yarn colors, it will take you to the Dutch website Haked.nl where this yarn is available. You can of course use different yarn. (These are not affiliate links. I do not earn any money from linking to that yarn. I just want to make it easier for you to see which colors are good)

Crochet hook: 3mm

You will also need: stuffing, scissors, tapestry needle, one 17mm brown safety eye, one 17mm green safety eye, two 15mm cream colored buttons, two 15mm black buttons,

**Minion Bob’s eyes are 2 different colors. 1 is brown, the other green

**The safety eyes can be replaced with crocheted eyes

**The black- and cream-colored buttons can be replaced by crocheted buttons
