Love the crochet eyes the most!

They look really good! 👀👀👀

I am so excited to make amigurumi. I have not crocheted in years and I am so happy to have found your channel. Your toys are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent. Brenda in Florida

Thank you so much for this video! I 've been knitting for many years but just started learning crochet, I have made my first amigurumi mouse, as you suggested, and he's so cute! Now I am making my first cow but have no eyes, so I am on my way to your Pinterest board to check out the crocheted eyes. Thanks!

This was SO helpful! I bought a bunch of safety eyes this past spring and have only used them a few times. I have been mainly embroidering them because my granddaughters are 2 and 1. I Love the crochet eyes!! Pickle is so curious lol I can see why he wants to hang out in your craft room with so many amazing toys to play with!!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I'm so glad you liked the video. Embroidering or crocheting them is probably the best way to go with little ones! And Pickle is getting more and more curious about mommy's toys! Lol!!! Love all the updates about the move!! Such a cozy place and loved how the kids went wild when they saw a few snowflakes!! ❄

Another great supplier is CR's Crafts. I used to order all my bearmaking supplies from them, including safety eyes and plastic joint sets. They have great prices, though their shipping is still based on the old model of charging according to the total amount spent.

@EliseRoseCrochet 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! I haven't heard of them before! 🧶🧶🧶

@izelbarrera9725 2 года назад

Great video! I might try buying some safety eyes, since so far every amigurumi I've made has button eyes and the safety eyes would look so much neater!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I so really like the look of safety eyes! Plus there are so many to choose from!! 👀👀👀

@karendavis7278 2 года назад

I loved this video. I loved learning about safety eyes because I haven’t really used them. And that crocheted eye was wonderful. My favorite eyes are ones you didn’t talk about. I love button eyes.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Oh my goodness! How could I have forgotten about button eyes!!! 👀👀👀

@Roblox_Lord. Год назад

Thank you !! I’m currently working on a order (Luigi from super Mario) and I was stumped for the eyes but you have definitely given me some ideas

@bratsmom6749 2 года назад

Thanks for this video, Elise! I was looking for some safety eyes for a little amigurumi ghost. I couldn't find what I wanted. You have made it possible for me to have some real variety! ☺️😻

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Sounds like an adorable project!! 💟

@kimluk2005 2 года назад

I've been amigurumi'ing for a while and have used just the plain black safety eyes all along and this has introduced me to new ideas. Thank you! ❤️

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I'm excited to try all the different eyes too!! 👀👀👀

@teresalevitt4180 2 года назад

Thank you again for another great video! I use all the different techniques, safety eyes, embroidery eyes and crocheted eyes....I really love to embroider and crochet eyes. But lately I've been adding details to my safety eyes and they look so great.....I JUST LOVE IT ALL😁

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Yes! It's so amazing to be able to do all of these different techniques! I can't wait to crochet amigurumi eyes! 👀

@lilaccottagecraftsbymichelle 2 года назад

Thank you again for a really interesting and informative video. I always get excited when I see a video by yourself pop up on my RU-vid recommendations. I have a lot of different safety eyes myself including the cat ones. They are great, and can make your toy really come to life. Hope you are all staying well x

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I am definitely going to be trying the cat eyes!!! I love that there are so many different options to choose from! 👀👀👀

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been wanting to find better eyes for my creatures and didn't know where to go because there were so many. Also I love the embroidered ones but never really thought I could do it? But seeing all the different kinds I am thinking now I should give it a try. Thank you again!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Thanks for such a great video! I’ve only been making amigurumi toys for my grandchildren (all under 7 years of age), so I’ve just embroidered the eyes on. Now, I’m excited to try one of these companies for safety eyes!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That is exciting!! I was really impressed with the quality of their products! 👀👀👀

Elise, thank you for all your great research! I will check out the safety eye shops and your Pinterest.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Great! The Pinterest board is a good resource! There are so many cute eye options! 👀

@nryane 2 года назад

Thanks for this, Elise. I’ve crocheted many eyes for my amigurumi characters. They are totally doable! I have a penchant for realistic positioning of the eyes and don’t particularly like “doll” eyes to be W-I-D-E apart! Other creatures, I have a little more relaxed position on eye placement. I LOVE this video, especially because of your research on the different styles/types of safety eyes. I prefer smaller amounts of eyes, because sorting through a multi-pack is not my favorite thing to do. Your videos are my treat for the week! Thanks for your thoroughness in creating information-packed vids!!! Blessings!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Researching the safety eyes was so much fun! And I'm so glad I have found ones that are good quality and are more unique! 👀👀👀

@karensample3052 2 года назад

I usually do a variety of ways, safety eyes are currently my favorite because I have little grandchildren. When I was making teddy bears for sale I used glass or shoe button eyes. I’ve only done crochet eyes a couple of times but you’ve encouraged me to try them again 🧶👍🏼

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

I cannot wait to try the crocheted eyes!! They would add so much interest to toys!! And that tutorial for them is so quick and simple!! 👀👀👀

@KnotSoProGamer 8 месяцев назад

Definitely plan to try these safety eyes for my next pattern with eyes. I tend to use them because I’m so bad t embroidery 😅

Hi I just found you today and I’m so happy I did. Thank you for all your informational videos. Although I’ve been crocheting for a very long time, I’m new to Amigurumi. My granddaughter thought I’d like it and bought me my first book at Christmas, and that was that . I’m not great at it yet but I’ve bought some books and I watch a lot of You Tube videos even if I can’t understand what they are saying.lol I’m always so happy when I find some in English.I just love you and Thank You again💓

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That's wonderful!! It won't be long before you're super happy about how your toys look! 🧶🧶🧶

@Anne5440_ Год назад

Oh wow what great ideas. I have felt, floss, 12 mm safety eyes. I have ordered smaller sizes of safety eyes. Oh my crochet eyes! I was thinking for this first bunny of simple embroidery, while I wait for smaller eyes to come. I am wanting to hurry on crocheting. I think I will then embroider the face when I am done. I did that with c'mas elves I knit. Thank you for this video!

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

There is so much you can do with amigurumi eyes!! 👀👀👀 Sounds like you're having fun with your projects!! 🧶🧶🧶

@crystalwarelk 2 года назад

I definitely appreciate this! I’ve got some of the variety packs from Amazon that have had half of them arriving all scruffed up or with large jagged edges or the backs don’t fit, etc.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Yes! I don't like those jagged edges! And when the backs don't fit........uuuuuggggghhhhh!!!! 👀

@christinenolan1418 2 года назад

I haven’t made an amigurumi toy in a while but I used to make a lot of them. I always used a safety eye unless it was going to a baby. I will definitely check out your Pinterest pages for some ideas and look at your recommendations. The glass eyes are very pretty. Thanks for sharing 🥰. Pickle likes to get into things. I can hardly do any work with my cat around.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

It can be challenging to do anything with yarn when a cat is around! Lol! 😂

@micheledougherty6132 2 года назад

Elise, you are the epitome of a fantastic educator!!! I am so impressed with your videos! I am really hoping to meet you someday when I am in the Concord area. I plan on visiting Goldberry Book Store in April or June. I will let them know you inspired me to shop there!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That's fantastic!! You will love the bookstore! And thank you so much for your kind words!! ❤️❤️❤️

@millyrosenberg1056 2 года назад

Thank you for this!!! 🙏 I've always used safety eyes since they're easy to pop on and because I usually just display my crochet toys, However, I really want to start embroidering them. I'm a little bit intimidated by any cosmetic sewing and embroidery but I know I should try it, especially if I want to start selling what I make.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Yes! It's fun to experiment and the great thing is that if you don't like it, you can just rip it out! ❤️

@litgirlablaze3432 Год назад

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

That's great! Please do share here so that others can find it as well! 💞

@kateworkman921 2 года назад

I actually use a combination of white felt that I glue gun onto the doll, and then puff paint for the irises.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That's a great idea!! 👀👀👀

@kateworkman921 2 года назад

Thank you, :) I will say, though, I do just use yarn embroidered eyes/mouths when making something for a toddler/baby. Better safe than sorry, for sure.

@sharakirkby2744 2 года назад

With the clear eyes you can paint the back of it any colour you want and it will show thru. Just a thought. Use paint that will stick to the surface on the back not the front surface.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Oooh! Thank you so much for that tip!!! 👀👀👀

@maryrosemitchell2528 2 года назад

Hi Elise! Thank you for this video. Very useful information. I normally embroider my eyes for little ones or use safety eyes for bigger children's toys. However Michaels choice of eyes are slim and are of poor quality. Shipping to Canada is expensive, so I don't order on line. I watched the tutorial for the fox crocheted eyes, I think I will do this from now on. Thank you!!!💕

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

There is such a huge difference in quality when it comes to safety eyes. And I thought that crocheted eye video tutorial was amazing! 👀

@fidelogos7098 2 года назад

Thanks for this video on eyes! I'm relatively new to Amigurumi, but not crochet. I've just made three Yodas for my grandsons, with each one a bit more skilled than the last (and now I feel like I should replace the first one I did 😊) Where I have lots of frustration and trouble is attaching body parts neatly. On my last Yoda, I attached the ears and arms BEFORE stuffing and it seemed to look neater. Any advice on how to achieve a neater look when attaching body parts? All of your toys look as if their arms and legs are attached firmly and in relation to the body.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

So glad you liked the video! I talked a lot about how I attach body parts on this video, you'll need to skip to around the 50 minute mark and you'll see exactly how I do it. I use the same technique for all body parts! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ASzIh5SOo68.html 💗💗💗

I've just finished 2 Dachshunds both with the same pattern. 1 I used black safety eyes lower on the face with black and white embroidery around the eyes and on the black doggie I used 12mm brown eyes and embroidered with white only and put them a bit higher. Put both of them together and you almost want to ask "Who ate my shoes?" "Was it you Daisy?" because the expressions look so different.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Awwwww! That's sooooo cute!! How wonderful! 👀

@user-jn5gh3pp5h 3 месяца назад

Getting ready to order some safety eyes from 6060. What size do you use for your worsted weight yarn?

That really depends on the look you're going for! 👀

@margaretswann6805 Год назад

I use safety eyes and embroidery. My issues with the safety eyes is Bernat Velvet Yarn. My customers prefer the velvet yarn and my disability doesn’t let me crochet extra tight or use a very small hook. Plus when I use my circular knitting machine the safety eyes and come through the fabric (even double walled). I started using a piece of drop cloth to put the stud of the eye through then the washer. Trying not to glue them as many people buy my stuffed animals for babies. Do you have any suggestions?

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

Sounds like you are doing your best! I think there will always be a safety issue when it comes to plastic eyes. Maybe embroider them if it's for a small baby? You could list your toys with recommended ages on them so that they know about the safety concerns. Hope that helps! ❤️

@Zoe-xt6hp 2 года назад

Hi Elise, love this video (and all your videos!) Just wanted to share that I'm currently having a battle with a cheap amazon safety eye, the back won't go on no matter how hard I push, and I can't embroider the eyes because I already got the other eye on. I don't know if it's because I'm tired or it's that time of the month but I started crying from how hard I had to struggle with this eye lol. I am definitely going to try one of the higher quality brands you recommended. Hopefully when my husband comes home from work he can use his man strength to get the back on ... if not I might have to crochet my panda an eye patch and make her a pirate. (ps, currently working on the Lola Panda from Pica Pau, I'm wondering if you've ever done the panda?) Much love

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Oh no!! I hate when that happens!! The backs are always tricky with safety eyes! And yes, I have made the panda! So cute!! 🐼🐼🐼

@Zoe-xt6hp 2 года назад

@@EliseRoseCrochet I took a break and then tried again and it immediately got on.. I think I was just getting tired lol. I'm still going to try the 6060 eyes though
