Crochet pattern: Amigurumi Crochet eyeball

We crochet the eyeball from front to

back first in circle rounds and then in spiral rounds. That sounds more
complicated than it is. Lets just get started right away!
black:
1st round: magic ring with 1 lifting chain
and 5 single crochet (us, uk: double
crochet), close round with 1 slip stitch =
6 stitches
color (eg. blue):
2nd round: 1 lifting chain, all single
crochet (us, uk: double crochet), double
each stitch, replace last stitch by 1 slip
stitch = 12 stitches
3rd round: 1 lifting chain, all single
crochet (us, uk: double crochet), double
every 2nd stitch, replace last stitch by 1
slip stitch = 18 stitches
white:
4th round: no lifting chain, all single
crochet (us, uk: double crochet), always
crochet only into the back loop of each

replace last stitch by a slip stitch, instead

Finish Amigurumi eyeball

Now we have finished crocheting the eyeball and we start to spice it up a little
bit.

First lets add some facets to the iris,

with some lines that run from the inside to the outside. For this you use a blunt
darning needle and embroidery thread, darning thread or crochet yarn with a
color nearly simular as your iris. The color should be slightly lighter or darker,
but not to deviate to much.

The you embroider with white yarn a

few reflections to the pupil and the iris. Embroider a small spot on the black pupil
and a slightly larger oval on the inner part of the iris.

Now you still embroider with red yarn

a few veins to the eyeball. Begin always near the center of the back and draw
jagged lines foreward to the iris. Then you embroider some branches to the main
line. The wires should end short before the iris and do not touch it. This you are
doing once around, thereby 3-5 strands of wires will arise, that are evenly
distributet

around

the

eyball.
