Make your amigurumi stand out with crochet eyes!

If you’re looking for a way make your crochet plushies stand out from the crowd, why not try crochet eyes!
The single biggest question I’m asked is “Do you have a stand alone pattern for your eyes?” and now with this video I can say YES!!!
So next time you need eyes for a project, give crochet eyes a go!

I think you made a mistake in the writing on the screen bc you start with 8sc but then its written 6 inc when you do 8 inc ? Or am i mistaken ?

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Oh myyyyyy!! You’re absolutely right!! 😬 it should read inc x 8. Thanks for letting me know!

[@sarahdean6115]

@@cro_with_the_flo you're welcome ! And incredible pattern btw, I always struggled with finding good pattern for eyes as I don't have safety eyes, it's going to make my plushies so much better 😍

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Super glad to help! 💜

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Yes, I noticed that here where you sl st x 18… 7:23 but as it’s 8 not 6 in the mc, and you’ve done a sc, inc around.. that’s 8 x 3 = so it’s 24 sl st you need to do to finish obviously 🤗 But these are great eyes, ty! I loved doing them and they look great!

[@claren2792]

Definitely going to give these a go, thanks ❤

[@niccyknickers]

finally someone who works over the yarn instead of having to later sew them in!! these eyes look AMAZING too!! thank youuuuu :D

Ahhhhhh thank youuu 🤩💜

Not only are they adorable, they're baby safe.

I would LOVE to see an oval black and white eye. I’m making Floppy from Bluey and don’t want to use felt + safety eyes like my pattern suggested!

Never mind I just saw you have a pattern for this on your site!

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!!! ❤️ I will be making a bunch with cotton yarn in advance so I have a selection for my next plushies I make! 😊

I’m so happy to share!!! Thanks for being so sweet and I’d love to see the creations you put these eyes onto 🤩💜

[@sablemoreno5095]

Nice. Ive been learning crochet since the beginning of February and jist needle felting in the eyes since ive been using tight stitches and acrylic yarn. Ill definitely give this a try if i use more plush yarn types.

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Needle felting is great too!! Welcome to the world of crochet!!! You can absolutely use this on smaller yarn types too, just need to make a smaller sized eye to fit 😜

[@thewhitneyrichmond]

As always, so innovative and inspiring 🥰. I want to master all of your eyes

Gosh, it seems like nearly every KZbin crochet content creator is making so many plushies. I'm curious if there's really a market for so many. Of course I don't crochet for resale so I don't have a frame of reference.

It’s a real combo of brands, but all 100% cotton, size4/8ply/DK weight

[@cro_with_the_flo]

And thank you!!! ☺️

[@liesbethdebruyne3870]

Do you have to use 3 shades of color? I get that it looks cuter, but I don't have that many colors in acrylic yarn 😅 Thanks for the tutorial, the eyes look very beautiful 😍

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Absolutely not if you don’t want to!!! It definitely gives it a particular look with the three, but two or one would also be fine 💜💜

[@sleepysamcomments]

I LOVE these!! What do you use to hold your eyes in place while you sew? It looks like it holds it really well! I have a problem with straight pins coming out while I sew.

[@cro_with_the_flo]

Aren’t they awesome?!! I use U-shaped Bobby pins to hold while I sew and I LOVE THEM!!!!

[@sleepysamcomments]

I’m definitely going to have to try that!!!

[@susanstapleton9503]

I love this little purple head, is it a koala? I looked at your patterns, but it didn’t seem to match any…. Do you have this pattern for sale? I love it worked up in the fuzzy yarn with yellow inside ears. I love the eyes too! TIA

[@JesterAverage]

Why do you switch the direction of your yarn over within a single crochet stitch? Does it create a specific look?

[@cro_with_the_flo]

It does! It actually makes the stitches tighter and creates an ‘x’ appearance to them instead of a ‘v’ type appearance. But there’s truly no right or wrong way to yarn over for this particular eye 😜

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖🙏🙏👍👍🙏🙏💖💖😄😄

[@sandyt4597]

This was very helpful. Unfortunately, I couldn't watch more than about 5 minutes because the hot pink background hurt my eyes. It was almost like staring into the sun. A different or lighter color would be helpful.

[@cro_with_the_flo]

I’m sorry to hear that. My kawaii crochet eye tutorial has a different colour which hopefully is easier for you 💜
