Hi everyone! I wanted to share today one of my favorite alternatives to plastic safety eyes when making amigurumi. And bonus, they are fast and easy! These came to be when I was searching for an 'eye' to have a crisp, delicate look. I have made some with worsted black yarn but it just didn't meet the look I was going for when the eye needed to be on a smaller scale. There are many reasons we look for an alternative to plastic safety eyes. The most popular reason being the recipient of our beautiful creation is a little one under 3. I now make most of my amigurumis with plastic safety eyes because my kids are over this age and the fact that they pop in quickly! With that being said though, I have to admit I love the look of using crochet thread. By the time I'm done, it was worth a few extra minutes. Here's an example from the Amigurumi Cow Pattern! To make these I used a 2.25mm hook (2.5mm should work just fine too) and size 10 black crochet thread. I also use some white to add a little reflection from time to time for added detail. I know a lot of you may have embroidery thread/floss on hand and this can be used too, however, it is thicker so you may want to bring it down to 4 ply instead. On an off note, I absolutely love crochet thread! The beautiful color selection they now come in are amazing! I use them often to make tiny flowers like in these hair clips. Ok, back on track now...... these eyes work up fast and can be sewn on your amigurumi project before or after you close the head. You can also easily add eyelashes as you sew them on! I used the 12mm size below for my Cuddly Caterpillar pattern! It was perfect to add a bit of reflection and detail! Below are instructions for making 4 common sizes found in amigurumi patterns: 9mm, 10.5mm, 12mm and 15mm This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials- Black crochet thread size 10 2.25mm crochet hook Scissors Sewing needle US Abbreviations- HDC - Half double crochet SC - Single crochet Sl st - Slip stitch MC - Magic circle Ch - Chain Alright, lets get started! NOTE: For any of the sizes chosen below, fasten off at the end and be sure to leave a long tail to sew onto your amigurumi project 9mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC (8 HDC) 10.5mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 12 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC (12 HDC) 12mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC, Ch 1 (8 HDC) Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch, join with a sl st to the first SC (16 SC) 15mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC, Ch 1 (8 HDC) Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch, join with a sl st to the first HDC (16 HDC) To add a reflection take a small amount of white crochet thread and pass through a stitch once or twice as pictured below, secure and fasten off.

This resource was made to help build an awareness of being safe in and around the water and sun! This is super important for kids! This sorting page provides a number of scenarios to read and think about before cutting & gluing them. It's sure to produce some good talks about visits to the pool, playing at the beach, boating on the river, or trips to the lake! Students will sort the following into "Safe" or "Not Safe": swim without an adult go in deep water wear sunscreen drink up the water you are swimming in wear goggles do not wear a life jacket on the boat wear a swim float wear sunglasses your mom catches you in the deep end of the pool run around the pool Water safety is an important discussion, this helps makes it meaningful yet simple for Kindergarten and First grade! Be sure students have an opportunity to share their thinking in regards to these situations and why they sorted they way the did. If you need other resources for Kindergarten and First Grade check my store for even more! Thanks for stopping by….
