Crochet Minion Hat Pattern
We are a little late to the Despicable Me fan club but I am happy to say we now own both movies and
my boys are loving the minions! I've had a lot of requests for a minion hat pattern and coincidentally,

Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in these colors: Mustard (yellow), Colonial Blue,
