Crochet Minions Coffee Cup Cozy Pattern

In honor of the new Minions movie that was just released, I decided I wanted to try and make a Minion coffee cup cozy. While looking my first coffee cup cozy, the design of the Minion popped into my head. It turns out to be a bit larger than the previous one I made but I think it turned out pretty cute.

This is actually the second one I made. The first was the test and it needed a few adjustments on the placement of the eye and the black strap. When I was working on this project, I wasn’t sure if this Minion was going to have two eyes or one until it was completed.

One thing I did when changing colors in this pattern, I used an invisible join. This is a great tutorial on how to do an invisible join if you don’t know how. Pay close attention since we are counting stitches in this pattern. Once it was joined. I added my next color and went on.

Row 1: (black yarn) Chain 2. Single crochet 4 stitches in the first chain. Use the invisible join to join (4 stitches). Cut your yarn and crochet over the ends when you start the next row.

Row 2: (brown yarn) Join your brown yarn and chain 1. Single crochet 2 stitches in each of the stitches. Join with invisible join (8 stitches). Cut your yarn and crochet over the ends when you start the next row.

Row 4: (gray yarn) Join your gray yarn and chain 1. Single crochet 2 stitches in each stitch. Join with indivisible join (32 stitches). When you cut your yarn, make sure to leave a long tail so you can use this to attach the eye to the cozy.

Attaching the eye: Place your eye in the center so it is centered over the black stripe. Using your yarn needle, sew the eye onto the cozy.
