Finish stuffing the piece. Fasten off, pull the opening closed, secure the yarn, and weave in the end. You should now have a piece like the one shown above. This will be the body. The yellow section is the body, while the black section is part of the pants or overalls. The original Minion wears blue, but since ours has an unusual look, we crochet this section in black from the start. You can choose any other color to suit your design.
