10-Minute Crochet Eyeball Rose | Free Crochet Pattern

I love finding inspiration and craft supplies at my local dollar store. They always have fun things for Halloween, and every year, I stock up on these little plastic eyeballs in multiple colors. They are great for crafts like the crochet Eyeball Rose, and they are also awesome to just float in a punch bowl or hide around the house. They also work up VERY fast, so they are a great stash buster or to add to a Fall craft fair!

I also used them to make this awesome wreath for my front door. The majority of it is pom poms glued onto a dollar store foam wreath. But I added a few Eyeball Roses and a few plastic spiders to make it really pop!

Row 2: Ch 2, 5 hdc in 1^st ch-1 sp, sc in space between V-sts, [6 hdc in next ch-1 sp, sc in space between V-sts] 3 times, 6 dc in next ch-1 sp, sc in next ch-1 sp (See Pattern Notes), [6 dc in next ch-1 sp, sc in space between V-sts] 5 times, 6 tr in next ch-1 sp, sc in next ch-1 sp, [6 tr in next ch-1 sp, sc in space between V-sts] twice, 6 tr in last V-st.

Bind off leaving long tail for sewing.

Wrap the hdc end around your eyeball. You can glue it here or wrap it a bit more to get it in the right place first.

Wrap the larger petals in a circle around the eyeball until they line up the way you like. Keep in mind you want them to stagger, not fall directly on top of each other. Use the tail to sew the petals into place.

Glue your eyeball in the center (if it is not yet glued), letting the petals wrap up the sides of the eyeball.

Weave in ends.
