Eyes for Amigurumi — Safety, Fixed & Moving
Quick overview: Tessiland's amigurumi eyes include fixed black eyes with safety washer (6 to 12 mm, also in sets), coloured fixed eyes with washer, glass eyes with shank, cat pupil eyes in resin, adhesive moving eyes and moving eyes with lashes. All designed for crochet dolls, soft toys and handmade dolls. Eyes with safety washer are the standard for amigurumi intended for children.
Eyes for amigurumi are the detail that brings the toy to life: expression, character and personality depend on the shape, size and type of eye chosen. Tessiland offers three families — safety (with locking washer), glass (realistic effect) and moving (fun effect) — to cover every project.
Why choose safety eyes with washer? Because once inserted in the fabric and locked with the washer, they don't come off — not even when pulled. They're the international standard for toys intended for children (safety eyes). Moving eyes are perfect for decorative amigurumi: the pupil moves and gives a fun, quirky look.
Safety Eyes — Fixed with Locking Washer
Plastic eyes with shank and locking washer: insert through the fabric between stitches, press the washer on the back and they're locked in permanently. Black, coloured and glass. 6 to 18 mm. The standard for child-safe amigurumi.
Moving Eyes — Adhesive and with Lashes
Eyes with a mobile pupil that moves inside the capsule: fun, quirky effect. Adhesive version (sticks instantly) and non-adhesive version (hot-glue). With or without lashes. For decorative amigurumi, soft toys and craft projects.

BUYING GUIDE: amigurumi eyes
Two questions to choose the right eyes.
1. For children or decorative?
- For children (0-3): embroidered eyes directly on the yarn — the safest option
- For children (3+): fixed safety eyes with locking washer — won't come off even when pulled
- Decorative / adults: moving eyes for the fun effect, glass eyes for realism
2. How to insert them?
- Eyes with shank + washer: insert BEFORE stuffing the head. Press the washer on the back
- Adhesive moving eyes: stick on the surface after closing — just press
- Non-adhesive moving eyes: hot-glue on. More durable
Frequently asked questions
What are safety eyes for amigurumi?
Safety eyes are plastic eyes with a shank on the back and a locking washer. You insert them through the fabric and press the washer — once fitted they won't come off even when pulled hard. They're the international standard for toys intended for children.
When do you put the eyes in?
Safety eyes with shank and washer are inserted before stuffing the head: crochet the head to the point indicated in the pattern, position the eyes, check symmetry and press the washers on the back. Then stuff and close.
Can you use moving eyes on amigurumi for children?
No, moving eyes are not suitable for children under 3. They're attached with adhesive or glue — they can come off if the child pulls or bites the toy. For children always use fixed safety eyes with washer or embroidered eyes.
