How to Crochet Small Eyes for Teddy Bears
Crocheted teddy bears come in all shapes and sizes, but the small ones are especially cute. You can embroider eyes on small, crocheted teddy bears or you can make crocheted eyes and sew them on. The easiest crocheted eyes are simple little circles. Add depth to the crocheted eyes by making oval eyes with crocheted circle irises, or embroider a black pupil by making a French knot on a crocheted circle.
