A tutorial by June Gilbank (www.planetjune.com).
This technique is an embroidery-free foolproof method for making tiny yarn eyes, spots and dots for amigurumi. It works especially well for amigurumi that are too small for safety eyes. Yarn eyes are a child- and pet-safe alternative to plastic eyes, and this method gives you more control than embroidering French knots, so you can make sure you have a perfectly matched pair of eyes.

June, June, June... You never cease to amaze with your genius innovations, and exceptional quality tutorials. We really are spoiled! :)
Aww, thanks so much, Conor!
Not at all what I was expecting - SOOO MUCH BETTER! This is so perfect - thanks June! Temperature key snake, coming up!
Haha, thank you - we aim to please 😀
This is a great idea! I've tried making eyes with French knots but they usually turned out mismatched. Thanks!
You're welcome! This is a much easier way to make sure they'll match 😊
Great to see you again on here.
This is such a great needed tip for small eyes. Love it and it looks easy to do too. I am horrible at doing eyes when I don’t want to use safety eyes.
This has come to my rescue for small eyes.
Thank you so very much! 😊🧶🦋💜
Thank you, it's great to be back! And you're very welcome 😊
I’m so glad I came across this! I’m (re)making the head of a toy intended for a 9-month-old because I put safety eyes in it without thinking 🤦🏼♀️ What a brilliant alternative!
I'm so glad you like it! It should work perfectly for baby toys 😊
Thankyou June. This was excellent. Your videos have been such a help. 😘
I'm so glad to hear that, Betty ❤️
Thanks for this
You're very welcome!
This is amazing. So simple but it looks so good. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I have been STRUGGLING making tiny eyes for the 20 mini alligators I'm making as end-of-year gifts for my students and this tutorial has just saved my bacon. Thank you, nice internet person!! This is so helpful!!!
You're very welcome, fellow nice internet person! 😀
I was just thinking of making a mini dinosaur keychain but was worried about the eyes being wonky since there is no safety eyes that are that small and french knots are fiddly. This video came in as a blessing😊 Thank you so much, you're amazing❤
Yay, that sounds like a perfect use for this technique!
Definitely giving this a try.
Ty for this Technique….. need to make Larger ones for the Bear that I’m working on right now…..I just ordered Safety Eyes but for my one year old great granddaughters I don’t really want to use Safety Eyes…..I found a video for the triangular nose that you sew on, but I am terrible with the eyes…..any help would be greatly appreciated…..haven’t heard from you in a long time…….. 🥰👵🏻
I took last year as a sabbatical to write my new book, The Essential Guide to Amigurumi www.planetjune.com/amibook ) but now I'm back in action!
This technique is specifically for tiny eyes - as this makes a ball, I don't recommend using thicker yarn to make larger eyes, as they stick out too much. For larger eyes, I crochet a circle with a finer yarn (see my Gingerbread Man for an example: www.planetjune.com/gingerbread ), and use the same glint technique I described in this video 😊
@@planetjune I clicked on your link regarding your book and it said oops!!! Doesn’t exist…..
I found your book on Amazon…will definitely buy it soon…..
Ah, thanks for this! RUclips was formatting the ")" as part of the link - I've added a space after the link now (it looks silly, but at least the links will work!)
Yay, that's great - I hope you'll love it! Here's the link again with more info about the book: www.planetjune.com/amibook

Genius!
I'm so glad you like it! I think it makes a big difference 😀
thank you! this was super helpful and reassuring :)
