Row 7. K2tog, K3, K2tog (5 sts)
Break yarn and draw it tightly through the remaining stitches leaving a long tail for

safety eye into the desired location on each eye and then sew the eyes just inside of the
goggles. I had a bunch of tails left over after I was done sewing so I just used them as my
stuffing to help keep the shape of the goggles, but stuffing works too. If you made two
goggles/eyes, sew them together before sewing them to your minion.
