Eddy - the Plump and Plush Eyeball 👁️

Hello! Eye'm so glad you set your sights on this pattern! It is a really simple to make your own spooky eyeball just in time for Halloween! This pattern is adaptable because you can use either two strands of Worsted Weight size 3 yarn or one strand of Super Bulky Weight size 6 yarn or even mix them together as I did! Your finished eyeball will be iris-istable!I hope you don't find these puns too cornea! I swear that was the last one, hehehe.

Materials:

• Yarn (see note below about yarn weight)

  • Colors

    • Black (8g in Worsted Weight)

    • Chosen Iris Color (8g, I used two different strands of brown Worsted Weight Yarn to add dimension to the Iris)

    • White

  • Note about picking a yarn weight: This pattern is adaptable because you can use either two strands of Worsted Weight size 3 yarn or one strand of Super Bulky Weight size 6 yarn or even mix them together and use them in different sections as I did. I used two strands of Worsted Weight for the Pupil and the Iris and then one strand of Super Bulky Weight for the White of the Eye

    • 1 strand at a time - Super Bulky Weight Size 6 Yarn

    • 2 strands at a time - Worsted Weight Size 3 Yarn

• 4.0mm Crochet Hook

• Poly-fil - you will stuff it firmly so you will need about a good amount of polyfil, think about as much as would stuff two gallon ziplocs

• Stitch Marker

• Darning Needle

• Scissors

Making the Pupil

Using black yarn (2 strands Worsted Weight or 1 Super Bulky Weight)

RND 1: 6sc in Mr (6)

RND 2: 6inc (12)

RND 3: [1sc, 1inc]x6 (18)

RND 4: [2sc, 1inc]x6 (24)

RND 5: [3sc, 1inc]x6 (30)

Cut your yarn with a 3 inch tail, invisibly finish, and weave in on the back.

Making the Iris

Join with the chosen color for Iris (2 strands Worsted Weight or 1 Super Bulky Weight)

Remy Tip: Join a few stitches away from where you invisibly finished will help

achieve a rounder effect, you can also stagger the increases to achieve this but

sometimes that is cumbersome to count and this is a simple cheat to get a similar

effect.

RND 6: (4sc, 1inc)x6 (36)

RND 7: (5sc, 1inc)x6 (42)

RND 8: (6sc, 1inc)x6 (48)

Cut your yarn with a 3 inch tail, invisibly finish, and weave in on the back.

Making the White of the Eye

Join with white (2 strands Worsted Weight or 1 Super Bulky Weight)

Remy Tip: Join a few stitches away from where you invisibly finished will help

achieve a rounder effect, you can also stagger the increases to achieve this but

sometimes that is cumbersome to count and this is a simple cheat to get a similar

effect.

Finish stuffing and pull through and sew shut by alternating sewing in and out of the 9 stitches.

Enjoy Eddy the Plump & Plush Eyeball!

Use it to keep an eye on any yarn sales at Michael's!

These eyeballs follow the same pattern, the size difference is the result of tension and stuffing.

If you make this pattern and post on Social Media I would love to see your work!
