Crochet Eyeball Purse Pattern

Ideal for both beginners and seasoned crocheters, the project provides a delightful way to craft a bold statement piece that’s sure to draw attention. The purse’s compact size is perfect for toting small essentials, making it both a practical and conversation-starting accessory.

Tip:

Use a sturdy yarn for the base to ensure your eyeball purse maintains its shape while you flaunt it.

Materials Needed:

• Crochet hook 4.25 (consider sizing up a few sizes)
• Black, white, green, purple or orange, and red yarn

Instructions:

Starting with the Black Yarn:

• Begin with a magic circle.
• Work 8 half double crochets (hdc) into the center of the magic circle.
• Pull the string tight to form a circle.

Next round:

• Work 2 hdc in each stitch around, ending with 16 stitches.

Following round:

• 1 hdc in the next stitch, 2 hdc in the following stitch. Repeat around until you have 24 stitches.

Switch to the Pupil Color (e.g., Green):

• Add the new color and work 2 hdc in the first two stitches, 2 hdc in the third stitch. Repeat around, ending with 32 stitches.

Continue with the Pupil Color:

• 1 hdc in each of the first three stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat around to end with 40 stitches.
• 1 hdc in each of the first four stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat to end with 48 stitches.
• Perform a color change in the last stitch.

Switch to White Yarn:

• 1 hdc in each of the first five stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat around to end with 56 stitches.
• 1 hdc in each of the first six stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat to end with 64 stitches.
• 1 hdc in each of the first seven stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat to end with 72 stitches.
• Finally, 1 hdc in each of the first eight stitches, 2 hdc in the next. Repeat around, and then change color on the last stitch.

Final Row in Red:

• Follow the same increase pattern but switch to single crochets: 1 sc in each of the first nine stitches, followed by 2 sc in the next. Slip stitch to join at the end of the round.

For the Back Panel:

Option 1:

• Repeat the eye pattern for a reversible purse.

Option 2:

• Create a plain side by following the same increase pattern without color changes until reaching 80 stitches. Finish with a round of red in single crochet.

Veins and Finishing Touches:

• Stitch veins on the eye with red yarn, using a plastic needle to freehand the pattern.
• Add a small white reflection in the pupil.
• Tie loose ends and cut off the excess. Consider adding a lining or felt to hide the ends.
• Sew the front and back pieces together, leaving an opening for the purse.

Straps:

• Chain 4, then work a series of slip stitches to create the strap, making sure it’s the desired length.
• End the strap by working a slip stitch through both loops.
• Sew the straps to the purse, ensuring they are secure.
• Once all pieces are assembled and all ends are securely woven in, your spooky eyeball purse is complete and ready to use!
