In this crochet video tutorial, I am going to show you how to indent eyes in Amigurumi crochet. Eye sculpting is a great way to add more character to your toys and it is easier to achieve than you might think. I use this technique when working on most of my crochet toys and quite frankly…once you have tried it, there is no going back. 🙂 In this video, I will show you two simple methods so you can choose which one you prefer.

How to Indent Eyes in Amigurumi Crochet – Instructions:

1st method: This method will show you how to indent the eyes before finishing the crochet toy head piece. Basically, you will sculpt the eye sockets before inserting the safety eyes in and before putting the safety backs on.

2nd method: In this method, you will indent the eyes after your head piece is completed. This means the safety eyes will already be in including the safety backs. 

I use the 1st method when designing my crochet toys but both techniques will result in a pretty similar look.
