Back Flap of Overalls (Knit flat)

stitches. Break yarn and draw it through the remaining stitch using a tapestry needle,

leaving a long tail for sewing to body.

Overall Straps (Make 2)

Using blue, cast on 2 stitches. Knit 28+ rows of stockinette stitch, depending on how

well you centered the back flap in regards to the front flap of the overalls (I had

to make one strap longer than the other one).

Break yarn and draw it tightly through

the remaining stitches using a tapestry

needle and leaving a long tail for sewing.


Goggles (Make 1 or 2)

Using grew, cast on 24 stitches and join in a round, leaving a long tail for sewing to the

Using white, cast on 5 stitches

Row 1. KFB, K3, KFB (7 sts)

Rows 2-6. Stockinette stitch


Break yarn and draw it tightly through the remaining stitches leaving a long tail for

sewing. Do not pull the yarn too tightly as you want to keep the shape of the eye. Insert

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.


Goggle Strap (Knit flat)

Using black, cast on 5 stitches. Stockinette stitch 66 rows and then BO all stitches. This

size fit mine, but how well you stuff your piece and if you chose to only make one eye

will affect the size of your strap so use this number as a guide. Break yarn and draw it

through the remaining stitch using a

tapestry needle, leaving a long tail for

sewing to the head.
