I am very excited to share the 2nd iconic crochet plushie tutorial straight away in one week, and I hope you will be too! So, let’s learn how to crochet this pair of goggle-wearing yellow, blue, and black buddy cosplay character plushies for this year’s festivals! These are no-sew, last-minute gift plushies you won’t want to resist.
Made with super soft plush yarn, the entire body, legs, and arms are crocheted seamlessly in one piece from the bottom up, meaning there is almost no sewing required.
The signature goggle eye is worked separately in fine cotton yarn and glued onto the black strap. You can choose from the Minion with one eye or Minion with two eyes instead, as well. Measuring about 7 cm (2.8 inches) tall, it makes a charming bag charm, holiday ornament, or pocket-sized gift. Now, continue reading to learn more about this cute plush Minion!
