Eye Making?

[Lil'Crocheter]

I'm making an amigurumi but don't have any buttons or anything to make eyes with. Is there anyway to make them out of yarn or thread? Any help is appreciated!

You can embroider them or make crocheted circles. No beads or felt?

I've made them with black #10 cotton before. I made a magic ring and made 6-8 sc's in it, then finished off. Came out great!

I have never done embroidery (other than my own little stitches here and there on crochet work).....but using yarn (or whatever) to make eyes, etc on a face is so easy to add to crochet work. These are large size teddy bears I made for DGS's and I just used black yarn in a yarn needle and just sewed back and forth to make other facial features like the nose. The eyes were made crocheting a few chs and joining into a circle, then some sc's around the circle. For a small toy I would do the eyes like I did the nose, just back and forth sewing, tie it in back so it won't come loose and that's it!

Thanks for all the help! I've never done a french knot before, can someone tell me how to make one?

I always embroider the eyes- and since I don't do too well on a satin stitch, I rarely make the eyes circles. To me it is more expressive as lines, anyway.

I often make round eyes by making 1 round of 6 sc, or even bigger eyes by adding a second round of 12 sc.
