I had so much fun knitting these eyes up. They work as either amphibian eyes or maybe alien eyes. Making them is really simple. I didn't write things down as I went, so this is the best reconstruction of what I did as best I remember.
You will need:
- worsted weight yarn scraps in green, white, and black
- size 8 straight needles
- tapestry needle
- yarn scraps or stuffing to fill the eyes
Back of the eyes (make two)
Cast on 11 stitches (green).
First 10 rows: stockinette stitch
Row 11:
ssk, k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 12: p2tog, p to last 2 sts, p2tog tbl
Row 13: ssk, k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 14: p2tog, p to last 2 sts, p2tog tbl
BO all stitches
Front of the eyes (make two)
Cast on 11 stitches (green).
First 2 rows: stockinette stitch
Row 3: (green) k2, (switch to white) k7, (switch to green) k2
Row 4: (green) p2, (switch to white) p7, (switch to green) p2
Row 5: (green) k2, (switch to white) k2, (switch to black) k3, (switch to white) k2, (switch to green) k2
Row 6: (green) p2, (switch to white) p2, (switch to black) p3, (switch to white) p2, (switch to green) p2
Row 7: repeat row 3
Row 8: repeat row 4
Row 9-10: repeat rows 1-2
Row 11:
ssk, k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 12: p2tog, p to last 2 sts, p2tog tbl
Row 13: ssk, k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 14: p2tog, p to last 2 sts, p2tog tbl
BO all stitches
Finishing:
Sew the backs of the eyes to the fronts leaving the cast on row (the bottom of the eye) open. Stuff the eyes with yarn scraps or fiber fill and attach to a knit hat or other knit object.
If you have any questions about this (my first pattern!) just let me know in the comments below and I will try to get back to you as soon as I possibly can.
Also in other internet awesomeness, I know this is old... but it's new to me:
