Owl Eyes- FOR MY MOM ;]

Abbreviations:

CH- Chain                    ST or STS- Stitch or Stitches

DHC- Double Half Crochet            SL ST- Slip Stitch

DC- Double Crochet

IN BLACK:

CH 1, Work 6 DHC in 2nd CH. Join with SL ST.

CH 1, Work 2 DHC in each stitch around. Join with SL ST. ( 12 sts)


Cut, and weave in end, or leave long for easy sewing-I usually just weave it in and sew along the outside of my eye when it's complete. But you can do it however you would like. (Make sure you pull it through your stitch so it won't come unraveled.)

IN NEXT COLOR- (usually the color of your hat)

In the SL ST you just created in black, insert your hook and loop the next color through.


CH 1, (you will have to keep ahold of the new color and the end of the black if you did not weave in ends to keep it snug)

Work 1 DHC in 1st ST, 2 DHC in next, Repeat till end. Join with SL ST.


Cut this color off, weave in ends or leave long for sewing.

IN WHITE

In the SL ST you just created with the previous color, insert hook and loop white through.


CH 1, (make sure you hold ends tight)

Work 1 DHC in First 2 STS, 2 DHC in next. Repeat till end. Join with SL ST

CH 1, work 1 DHC in First 3 STS, 2 DHC in next. Repeat till end. Join with SL ST.
Cut off white- weave in ends.


IN NEXT COLOR
(usually the color you used for decorative edging on your hat & combined with fuzzy for eyebrow look)
in the SL ST you just created with white, insert hook and loop through the new color

CH 1, (keep ends tight)

Work 1 DHC in each ST around- Only go half way around the eye.
