Making Zippy’s Eye

👉 Start with a Magic Ring

Create a magic ring to form the base of the eye.


Row 1

Crochet 6 Single Crochet (Sc) stitches into the magic ring:

  • Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
  • Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook to complete one Sc. Repeat this 6 times.
  • Pull the loose end of the magic ring to close it tightly.


Row 2

Increase (Inc) in every stitch around:

  • Work 2 Single Crochet (Sc) stitches into each of the 6 stitches from Row 1.
  • At the end of this row, you’ll have 12 stitches.


Attach the Safety Eye

  • Place the safety eye in the center of the crocheted eye piece.
  • Push the safety eye’s post through the magic ring opening or between stitches, ensuring it is secure.
  • Attach the safety eye’s backing tightly to lock it in place.
