Free Despicable Me minion amigurumi crochet pattern

This autumn brings another 3D animated extravaganza with Despicable Me, a movie about a supervillian (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell) who hopes to pull off a heist involving the moon. The only thing that stands in his way? Three little orphan girls who wish to adopt him as their new dad.

Gru has an entire army of minions, who resemble this cute little fella on the right. Looks like a baby version of Beaker from The Muppets to me.

Despite the fact that the film has only just been released in the US and won’t be released here until October, WolfDreamer has already been able to create an amigurumi of the quirky character, and provide a free pattern for those of you who want to recreate him.

Want to see the character in action? Here’s a short trailer from the upcoming animation.
