Leave a tail for sewing and fasten off. Crochet around the inner circle with a yellow chain-like edging. Sew 1 sector together on both pieces!!! Then sew on all parts of the pupil, and only after that sew it to the body! While sewing it to the body, I lightly stuffed the part that forms the goggle frame. I crocheted the strap by eye...there is nothing complicated there.

Pupils (2 Pieces)

White Part

I used white Alize Diva Silk Effect yarn, 100 g/350 m.

1. 2 ch, 7 sc in the second chain from the hook (7)
2. (inc) x 7 (14)
3. (1 sc, inc) x 7 (21)
4. (2 sc, inc) x 7 (28)
5. (3 sc, inc) x 7 (35)
6. (4 sc, inc) x 7 (42)

Leave a tail for sewing and fasten off.

Brown Part

I used black acrylic Red Heart Lisa yarn, 50 g/125 m, and brown Alize Diva Silk Effect yarn, 100 g/350 m.

1. 2 ch, 7 sc in the second chain from the hook (7) - with black yarn
2. Change to brown yarn - (inc) x 7 (14)
3. (1 sc, inc) x 7 (21)
4. (2 sc, inc) x 7 (28)

Leave a tail for sewing and fasten off.

Arms (2 Pieces)

I did not write them down at all, but everything is worked in the round. First, make the palm in black, for example from 6 to 30 stitches, then decrease to 18, and immediately crochet the cuff in FLO, increasing again. Stuff very lightly so the palm stays flat. Start crocheting with yellow yarn in the narrowest part of the palm, working in BLO, and continue until the arms are the length you need. Sew or "crochet together" in half. Crochet the fingers separately, also by eye depending on your yarn. For example, go from 6 to 18 stitches and back, working 12 a couple of times so the finger becomes longer.

Sew the fingers to the palms. The arms are ready.
