In this video, I show you how I make the crochet soft eyes for my amigurumi animals! I hope you enjoy it! Valerie __________________ Shop my patterns: www.oldsoulcrochetco.com/shop
I'm not kidding when I thought the eyes in the picture were safety eyes and I was so confused as to how you were crocheting eyes if you used safety eyes. The highlights look perfect. This is so good.
Thank you so much! I have started some crochet critters for grandchildren and don't want to use the safety eyes. This is perfect and I can handle crochet rather than embroidery for the eyes! Such a well explained lesson!
This is a life saver! My stuffed bat came out WAY too big and my biggest safety eyes still looked way too small!! I’m excited to give this a try! Thanks so much :))
I am so happy to have discovered your site! These eye tutorials are SO helpful! I have been crocheting a bunny for my baby granddaughter, and I've been SO challenged with the eyes/facial features.
These are amazing!! I didn’t have any safety eyes for a baby Yoda and this tutorial saved me. I’ll never use safety eyes now because these look so much better 😍
Hi Paslayas! Thank you so much for that compliment! I like to think of my animals as vintage, but modern, so I think the term "old" fits them perfectly! I love the idea that they could be heirlooms!
I was looking for eyes for a bear hat for my granddaughter and I came across your video. I said those eyes would never work!! But I tried them anyway, after sewing them on the hat…the hat started to look at me 👍🏾🥰🥳 thank you!!!
This is exactly what I am looking for. I wanted to find something to replace the plastic safety eyes on my toys as I am afraid of the safety hazard (even though I glue them and properly attach the backing, you just never know with kids). These are a perfect solution, thanks for the tutorial.
I only have this really thick black yarn so I thought I'll give it a go. I only needed the first 6 stitches and it was big enough 🤣🤣🤣 oh well at least the rest was useful this time 😅
How did you crochet in fabric? It looks cute on your amigurumis! I'm working on a cow amigurumi and it came bigger than expected. I just need to add they eyes and this is helpful because I don't want to buy safety eyes haha. I want to add some color to the eyes tho
I love these eyes, I hope they work for you too! I have a video where I talk about crocheting in to the fabric. I punch a little set of holes in the fabric and then crochet in to those. I use a lot of fabric on my other patterns, for ears and bottoms of feet etc.
These eyes are much simpler to do especially as im a beginner. On the owl, there's a yellow section, did you just stitch thst part too add a bit of colour?
i tried this method and basically put extra stuffing in that spot, and put less stuffing in the area right around it.. takes a few tries to get it absolutely right, but it looks adorable once it's done!
