Mini Halloween Eyeball Crochet Pattern

This Halloween eyeball crochet pattern is sure to get you into the Halloween spirit. These little eyeballs are the perfect size for spooky keychains, magnets, brooches and bag charms.

This pattern is a mini version of my Halloween Eyeball Coaster Pattern and I just love how it turned out.

They’d make a great candy alternative for Halloween and a fun gift for kids to give to their friends.

Halloween Eyeball Crochet Pattern

Materials

• DK weight yarn in black, white, red and your choice of colour for the iris (I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Pure Black, Paper White, Pillar Red, Lime Green and Sky Blue for the eyes pictured)
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• Red embroidery floss that matches your red yarn as closely as possible (I used DMC 321)
• Stitch marker, yarn needle, scissors

Abbreviations (US Terms)

• sc – single crochet
• inc – single crochet increase
• st/s – stitch/es
• (…) – indicates stitch count at end of round
• […] – repeat the instructions in brackets

Finished Size

The finished eyeball measures approximately 1.5″ x 1.5″ (4cm x 4cm). Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.

Notes

• R1-2 of the front are fastened off invisibly after each round and R3-5 are worked in a spiral without joining. New colours are added using a standing single crochet.
• The back is worked in a continuous spiral. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Special Stitches

Standing single crochet: Start with a slip knot on your hook. Insert hook in stitch indicated by pattern. Yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.
