Materials Needed:

- Toy stuffing
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Step by step Pattern
Starting with the pupil:
Round 1:
- Start with black yarn. Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Slip stitch to close the ring if needed.
Iris:
Round 2:
- Change to your chosen iris color (e.g., purple). Work an increase in each stitch around (2 sc in each sc from the previous round). You will have 12 stitches.
Round 3:
- 1 sc in the next stitch, then increase in the following stitch (repeat around). You will have 18 stitches.
Eye White:
For Round 4:
- Change to white yarn. 2 sc in the next two stitches, then increase in the following stitch (repeat around). You will have 24 stitches.
Round 5:
- 3 sc in the next three stitches, then increase in the following stitch (repeat around). You will have 30 stitches.
Round 6-9:
- Work 1 sc in each stitch around for four rounds (30 stitches each round).
Decreasing for Eye Shaping:
After Round 10:
- 3 sc, then decrease by working the next two stitches together (repeat around). You will have 24 stitches.
Round 11:
- 2 sc, then decrease (repeat around). You will have 18 stitches.
Round 12:
- 1 sc, then decrease (repeat around). You will have 12 stitches.
Finishing:
- Add toy stuffing to the eyeball to the desired firmness.
Round 13:
- Decrease around until you have 6 stitches left. Close the hole, secure your yarn, and weave in the ends.
Veins:
- Using red yarn, separate it to get a thinner strand for a more delicate effect. Create veins by stitching radially from the pupil area outward towards the white. You can randomly stitch in different directions to mimic the look of blood vessels.
- Secure and weave in all loose ends.
