Crochet Minion Granny Squares

March 11, 2015

When I posted the pattern for the Monster Granny Squares a bunch of you asked for minion squares… ask and you shall receive!! This Minion Granny Square is very similar to the monsters with a couple simple changes. Updated pattern is below. Feel free to make a two-eyed minion as well! And the fun part about these minion squares is that if you are careful, you could easily sew a face on both sides to make it reversible! 



Materials: 

– Worsted Weight Yarn in yellow, blue, white, gray and background color (I used cream)
– Size H crochet hook 
– Small black button 
– Tapestry needle 
Abbreviations: 
Magic Ring Tutorial 
SC = Single Crochet 
HDC = Half Double Crochet 
DC = Double Crochet 
Minion Granny Square Pattern: 
Starting with yellow:
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 8 HDC in ring, join, chain 1 
Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (16 HDC) 
Round 3: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (32 HDC)
Round 4: HDC in first 19 stitches, change to blue yarn and HDC is remaining 13 stitches, join (32 HDC) 
change to background color (cream)
Round 5: *chain 4 (loosely), skip 3 stitches, join with SC, repeat from * around. You should end up with 8 chain spaces. Join to the bottom of the first chain 4. 
Round 6: Now working inside the chain 4 spaces… Chain 3 + 2 DC  all in same space, Chain 1, *3 DC + Chain 1 + 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, Repeat from * around, slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3, fasten off. 
Attach same color to corner space (or different color if you choose)
Round 7: Starting in corner space… Chain 3 + 2 DC + Chain 1 + 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, *3 DC + Chain 1 + 3 DC all in same space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, Chain 1, 3 DC in next space, repeat from * around, slip stitch to join to the top of the first chain 3
Round 8: Continue to SC in each stitch around except when you get to the corners make 2 SC + chain 1 + 2 SC all in same space. Fasten off and weave in all ends. 
Minion Eye:
With white yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Attach gray yarn
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off (12 SC)
Sew small button to center of eye
With black yarn, chain 15 or how ever many chains it takes you to make a piece long enough to fit across the minion head. Sew chain down and sew eye over black chain.

Stitch one smile with black yarn and tie on black yarn for hair (trim short). 
If you stitch on your embellishments by only working your tapestry needle between the stitches (not all the way around the back of the stitches), you could also stitch on an eye/face on the back of the square to make it reversible!

    Hi Sarah, I used your square as inspiration & personalised them to make 10 different characters which I then made into a cushion. If you want to pop along & have a look you can find my blog on http://www.alongthebeachroad.blogspot.com or on FB at Along The Beach Road xxx
