Eye eye – pattern for amigurumi eyes

I used 4mm hook and 8 ply wool for this, you will need to adjust your wool and hook for your
project. Pattern is for eyes 2.5cm diameter, or 4cm diameter.

Large and Small Item with small Item with large

Chain 2

Round 1: single crochet 6 times into second

chain from the hook (6) join with slip stitch
into first single crochet

Round 2: chain 1, single crochet into same

stitch. 2 single crochet into each single
crochet around (12) join with slip stitch into
first stitch (end here for 2.5cm eyes)
Round 3: chain 2, half double crochet in same
stitch. *Half double crochet into next stitch. 2
half double crochet into next stitch. ** Repeat
from * to ** until end. Join with slip stitch, tie
off. (end here for 4cm eyes)

Round 4: Pupils – between the first and

second rows are 6 “points”. Using a yarn
needle, sew an asterisk from the three pairs
of points. (This also applies to the smaller
eyes).

Then run the yarn in running stitch around the

asterisk using the same entry points (you will
get three lines, so turn around and go back to
form a full circle).
Now, when you were making the asterisk, you
had lines running between 1 and 4, 2 and 5
and 3 and 6. Now run a line between 1 and 3,
and 2 and 4. This fills in most of the remaining
pupil. Leave the third one as a glint, or fill it in.
