The body itself is a quick knit - knit in the round, just a few increases and decreases to shape the body and Bob's your uncle - but the charm is in the details, and especially the hands and eyes took forever. Not to mention the double stitching of the overalls and mouth. It was my first attempt at double stitching, and I'm rather satisfied with how it turned out :)
Pattern: Despicable Minions
Yarn: Sandes Yarn - 100% cotton
Modification: I didn't see any reason to knit the pupil separately just because I was knitting 2 eyes instead of just one so used the technique for the larger eye and just adapted it. Less seaming that way ;)
Oh my goodness, your minion is AWESOME! My son would love this!!!
