Easy Crocheted Eyes For Amigurumi

It can be very difficult to embroider facial features onto your amigurumi and end up with a cute expression. Often people are frustrated with the results; embroidery stitches can get lost or distorted in the bumpy fabric of crochet stitches. In this video, crochet designer Brenda K. B. Anderson shows us one of her favorite alternatives to embroidery: creating a crocheted applique piece that can get stitched to the face in a neat and tidy way. This is significantly easier to execute, but it also allows you to re-position and shape the eyes as needed to achieve the desired expression. Watch this video to see how Brenda crochets some eyes and stitches them to a face, with an adorable result!

Try this technique on these crochet projects:
