Minion

I originally got the pattern from, here, but I kept finding problems with that pattern. So I altered it. lol I know I almost always alter my patterns. But I altered this one so much, so instead of just posting the alteration I am going to post the pattern completely wiht my changes!

I used a 3MM crochet hook.
-Body-

Rnd 1- sc 6 in a circle
Rnd 2- increase in each sc around (12)
Rnd 3- "sc 1, increase in next sc" around (18)
Rnd 4- "sc 2, increase in next sc" around (24)
Rnd 5-15: sc around
Rnd 16- "decrease, then sc 2" around (18)
Rnd 17- "decrease, then sc 1" around (12)
--stuff
Rnd 18- decrease in each sc around (this end fits into the pants to hide it.)

-Pants-
In blue
Rnd 1- sc 6 in a circle
Rnd 2- "increase in each sc around" (12)
Rnd 3- "sc 1, increase in next sc" around (18)
