I love the teeny Minion! I have the pattern, but hadn't thought of making one from the fingering yarn. I have a young friend going through chemo right now, and he could use a little friend when he's feeling down.

I had created my own pattern for them and used T-shirt fabric for the coveralls and black felt for the boots and gloves...put them on key chains & sold them as 'subordinates' at a craft show. They went like hotcakes.
