PREMISE
This crochet Eyeball amigurumi is part of my new Halloween collection called BOWLOWEEN (Bowling + Halloween!): it’s a collections of Halloween characters that work as Bowling pins and the eyeball as Bowling ball.
You can find all the (free) patterns at this link.
The pattern in this page is totally free, but it’s intellectual property of Elendipity.
You can use it and, of course, you can sell the final products you create, but you cannot sell the pattern or any alteration of the pattern.
You should also credit Elendipity (as pattern creator) whenever you create it, share it and/or sell it.
Feel free to tag me on my Instagram if you create it, I would love to see your works!!
HOW TO
This amigurumi is worked from the front (pupil) to the back .
The first 4 rounds of the eye are worked with the joining method: you will join the rounds with a Slip Stich and 1 Chain, and the first stitch of the next round will be done where you did the Slip Stitch – Slip stitches don’t count as stitches.
The rest of the rounds are worked in continuous rounds with the spiral method, not Slip Stitches to join – but don’t worry, in the pattern is specified when and which method to use.
There will be some colour changes and you can watch a video on how to do them at this link.
MATERIAL
I used:
- Crochet Hook: 3 mm
- Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 002 (Natural White – NW) – 7 gr – for the eye
- Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 009 (Black – B) – less than 1 gr – for the pupil
- Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6, colour n. 90 (Capri Blue) or Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 23 (Dusty Green) for the Iris – 1 gr
- stitch marker
- stuffing
- darning needle
- White and red embroidery thread (optional) – I used Cotton Lace from Hobbii
I bought the yarn at Hobbii.
TERMS
Here below the list of the stitches (US terms) that you are going to use for this project.
- MC = Magic Circle
- CH = Chain
- SS = Slip Stich
- SC = Single Crochet
- INC (Increase) = 2 stitches in the same stitch
- DEC (Decrease) = 1 stitch worked over two stitches – it would be better if you know how to do Invisible Decrease.
- st = stitches
- Number in brackets, at the end of each round, indicates the total stitches for the round.
- Instruction between * … * means you have to repeat what is between the asterisks by the times indicated after the second asterisk.
- Instruction between ( … ) means you have to do all the stitches in the brackets in the same stitch.
- You will always find the acronym of the stitch and a number close to it; if the number is before the name of the stitch, it means that you will have to repeat those stitches in the same space. For example: 5 SC = 5 Single Crochet in the same stitch / SC 5 = 5 Single Crochet in the next 5 stitches
Shall we start?
Let’s go!!
EYE
START
With 3mm crochet hook and the colour B, create a MC and work R1 in the MC.
- ROUND 1
SC 6, SS to join, CH 1 (6), change colour to Iris colour
- ROUND 2
* INC * x 6, SS to join, CH 1 (12)
- ROUND 3

- ROUND 4
* INC, SC 2 * x 6, SS to join, CH 1 (24)
- ROUND 5
* SC 3, INC * x 6 (30)
From this round you will use the spiral method, see above in “How To” what that means
- ROUND 6
* INC, SC 4 * x 6 (36)
- ROUND 7, 8, 9, 10 (4 rounds)
SC 36 (36)
- ROUND 11
* SC 4, DEC * x 6 (30)

* DEC, SC 3 * x 6 (24)
- ROUND 13
* SC 2, DEC * x 6 (18)
- ROUND 14
* DEC, SC 1 * x 6 (12)
EMBROIDERY (Optional)
Take the white thread (you can use embroidery floss or a thinner yarn) and draw a couple of lines between the pupil and the iris.
Take the red thread and draw the veins around the eye starting from the bottom part.
In the video below you can see how to do it.

Hi, I’m Eleonora. I grew up in Milan and have been living in London since 2019. I left a corporate career to turn my lifelong passion for crafts into a full-time creative business. Creating with my hands has always been part of who I am – from crochet to sewing, from small handmade projects to full garments. I also have a soft spot for animals, especially cats. I started crocheting at a young age and later taught myself how to sew through books and online tutorials. Over time, I began experimenting with different techniques, patterns, and materials, discovering just how powerful and calming handmade creativity can be. That journey led me to share my knowledge online, first through YouTube and later through classes, patterns, and workshops. Today, I’m a crochet and sewing teacher, helping others learn at their own pace and find confidence through making.
