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.

Omg me 2

[@summermcgrew8240]

No literally same💀

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Aww, thanks you guys!

[@mo_m0rgan]

Amazing!!! Now I don’t have to worry about buying expensive safety eyes, this is also much prettier!! Thank you😊

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to provide a solution for you!

[@madisongarber2855]

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 :))

[@bonniejalsevac7946]

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!

[@robertabond7710]

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.

[@rhiannoncameron7165]

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 😍

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Thanks so much!

[@Paslayas]

Your amigurumi's are so beautiful! Soft, with an old look and feel to them♥️. Old in the sense of heirlooms

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

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!

[@samshouse123]

The eyes on your animals are so beautiful...🐳🐋 great tutorial Valerie thanks again!

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Thank you Sam! I am glad you like the tutorial!

[@sonjathomas6084]

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!!!

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

I'm so glad it worked for you!

[@gadgetwashere9401]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this video.

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

So glad I could help!

[@jessicac6710]

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.

[@janeanselmo1971]

Best magic ring tutorial! Thanks ❤️

[@a.w.9662]

Very helpful! I like the idea of putting a little stuffing behind the eye!

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Thank you!

[@GrammaPatriot]

I love your stuffed animals! Im learning crochet n sewing here-cant waitvto watch more of your vids! Thank you

[@OlyimpicChamp3]

Thank youuuuuu, last min grad gift and this is a saver (I couldn't get my buttons so I went and found this, this looks so much better!)

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Glad I could help!

[@CharuJapan]

The alpaca and the snowy owl are adorable! You're so talented!

[@claireseifert5123]

This reminds me I need to start making your animal Christmas ornaments. 💜💜

[@pkendlers]

Best tutorial on magic ring that I have seen. Great job. :D

[@KnittyElf]

[@elleneng7674]

Wonderful pattern to crochet eyes for my first amigurumi giraffe! Great tutorial, thanx.

[@sarahwoodssheppard4808]

[@crystalcrous9510]

[@vxniciaa]

THANK YOU this is SO helpful!

[@irenevickers1653]

Thanks

[@reniyasharafuddeen4786]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial I am not really good at embroidering eyes But crocheting them looks easy.

[@sueleazer6470]

Thank you for this!

[@abbylev3493]

Very helpful! Could I do this with the plush yarn (the same material as the stuffed animal) or is it best to do with a thinner/acrylic yarn?

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

you could if you wanted. It will just make it bigger so you'll have to decide if that's how you want it.

[@abbylev3493]

@@oldsoulcrochetco.7887 got it, thank you!!

[@Charlie-ts7vq]

how do u sew them on ;(

[@amerenr1454]

perfect for projects for babies because they can chicle on safety eyes !! this is perfect thank you tons ! :)

[@reneeadrian190]

This is a game changer! Thanks!!!

[@gabbydidcreations107]

Thank you! Great video. You do amazing work!

[@manondesrochers8989]

perfect its exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@cosmicallyconnected]

Wow! What a great video, thank you! 😁

[@xxSydneyFox]

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 😅

[@mirelyshernandez6572]

Do you have a video sewing it to the proyect? Im doing a cat its white so im not sure the right way to go in this one.

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Hi Mirelys! Not yet, but if you look at the chubby bunny crochet along there is a good example in there.

[@jillianlong56]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I will have to try this!

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

You are welcome! Thanks Jillian!

[@rorensworld]

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?

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Yes I did

[@70elnaz]

Amazing tutorial thank you so much

[@vickidickerson1535]

You are awesome, and your creations are beautiful. Thanks for sharing! *Subscribed

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Thank you so much Vicki! I really appreciate that!

[@wendydavenport9783]

How can I make the eyes bigger? I’m making a 34.5 inch Dino, so the eyes need to match his head. Like close to 50mm eyes

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Easiest way would be to follow this same tutorial, but use heavier weight yarn.

[@twilightsdawningpalladino9997]

I love the alpaca!

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

Thank you!

[@ritaplantamura6027]

Very enjoyable. Thank you. I will follow you.

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

You are welcome Renna!

[@judysweatman7501]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@EGORElicious]

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

[@oldsoulcrochetco.7887]

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.

[@laurduncan]

How do you make the eyes dimpled like that? It seems like there is an "eye socket" almost?

[@saeekarmarkar2825]

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!

[@khulood2684]

thank you

[@caipagkatipunan6297]

I like these better than safety eyes.

[@lps_cinnamon3693]

Hehe

[@marifaz64]

I can use this for my doble large crochet bee
