This pattern was inspired by the movie Despicable Me. I absolutely adored the movie, especially the minions. I decided to combine two things I love, fingerless gloves and the minions. And that is how Minion Mitts were born. The pattern itself is simple and would be appropriate for any advanced beginner.
