Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Prepare Materials and Workpiece
- Prepare two yarn colors (baby yarn 25 and 01).
- Have your 5 cm hair clip blank ready.
- Start by crocheting a base piece that fits the clip following the separate tutorial as referenced (or prepare your desired workpiece).
Step 2: Crochet Base Rim (White Yarn)
- Attach white yarn at the rim of the hair clip blank.
- Work a single crochet (sc) stitch into each stitch around the clip blank rim.
- For every few stitches, chain 3 to help curve the fabric neatly around the clip.
- Continue alternating 1 sc stitch and 3 chains along the rim for a neat coverage.
- Hide your yarn ends carefully between stitches as you work for a clean finish.
Step 3: Complete the Base Rim and Fasten Off
- Continue crocheting until you reach the end of the clip rim.
- Slip stitch to join.
- Cut yarn and pull through to fasten off securely.
- Use a crochet hook or needle to tuck in any loose yarn ends.
Step 4: Start Crocheting the Eye Center (Magic Circle)
- Using a contrasting yarn color, create a magic circle.
- Crochet 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the circle.
- Pull the circle tight to close the center hole.
Step 5: Crochet Subsequent Eye Rows
- Join and crochet 2 sc into each stitch around (total 12 stitches).
- Continue working in rounds, increasing evenly per round by alternating 2 sc in one stitch and 1 sc in the next.
- Form a V-shaped pattern where appropriate by putting 2 sc stitches into the same stitch (increase), following the pattern in the video.
Step 6: Complete Eye Shape with Additional Rounds
- Crochet the eye shape evenly expanding by increasing stitches till desired eye size is achieved.
- Use half double crochet (hdc) stitches for thicker and firmer texture in parts as shown for the “nose” area (corner/juncture of the eye shape).
- Follow the V-shaped increase pattern to maintain the shape and volume.
Step 7: Stuff the Eye Shape
- Once the eye is crocheted to full size, stuff lightly with cotton balls for softness and volume.
- Do not overstuff to keep the shape flexible.
Step 8: Finish Edges and Assemble Two Parts
- Crochet the second eye shape using the same method.
- Place the two eye parts together, lining up edges precisely.
- Sew along the edges using yarn needle to join securely.
Step 9: Attach the Hair Clip
- Position the crochet eye assembly on the hair clip blank.
- Use yarn or hot glue to attach the crochet piece firmly to the clip base.
- Trim excess yarn and hide all ends neatly.
Special Features
- The pattern features a cute rounded eye shape, created using magic circles and strategic increases/decreases.

- Versatile technique adaptable to many accessory projects.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use stitch markers to keep track of increases in each round for even shaping.
- Keep tension consistent for smooth rounds and clean edges.
- Do a practice swatch for sizing the eye if adapting to different clip sizes or yarn thicknesses.
- When attaching the crochet piece to the clip, check that the clip opens and closes freely.
