These cartoonish crochet eyes are a great alternative to using safety eyes on many of your projects! I came up with a simple pattern that can be customized in any color! Use them on your animal amigurumi, hats, character blankets and pillows, and more!
UPDATE: Pattern now includes smaller size eyes! The original eyes are about 2 inches. The smaller size is about 1 inch: www.repeatcraf...
I am using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn to create these bold eye colors and sturdy stitches. You can shop dozens of shades on Yarnspirations.com: bit.ly/44zJwDM
Materials:
-Red Heart Saver Yarn in colors Black (pupil), Turqua, Spring Green, Perfect Pink, and Aruba Sea (for the eye color examples pictured), and White (for the outside of the eye).
Size H Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Crochet Cartoon Eyes Pattern (Make 2):
starting with black yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, pull tight, (10 SC)
join to first SC with eye color (blue in the example photos)
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join to first SC with white yarn (20 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off leaving long strand of white. (20 SC)
Weave in all other loose ends.
With a strand of white yarn and your tapestry needle, create an eye reflection/sparkle by weaving the yarn through two stitches of the corner of the black pupil. I looped the yarn 2-3 times and then knotted it on the backside.
