Safety eyes - 6 mm (0.24 in)

Safety eyes - aka. Amigurumi eyes - for your handmade teddies and other stuffed toys. You can use safety eyes for all kinds of knitted and crocheted projects as well as sewing projects, and you can even find them in various shapes and sizes here at Hobbii.

All safety eye packs contain plastic washers that you must use when attaching the eyes. BUT, you should always follow our detailed guide to ensure that the eyes are safely attached!

Safety requirements that you should read before attaching your safety eyes:

- Before attaching the eye, always make sure that every part is intact and unharmed.

- Melt the washer once the eye is attached. It’s a simple process and only takes a moment. This method ensures that the washer won’t budge. A method often used in store-bought toys.

- Your knitting or crochet tension as well as the yarn type are integral to how safely the eyes can be attached. When making projects for children aged 0-3 years old, you should always anchor your eye by sewing a grid under the washer as well as attaching a crocheted cap around the back of the eye. For reference, see photos and video tutorial.

- Remember to always check the finished project and make sure that all parts are solidly attached, hardy, and secure.

- Check the eyes regularly! Please note that all products experience wear and tear over time. Check the eyes regularly to make sure that they are still unharmed and intact. Creating projects for kids aged 0-3 years is a huge responsibility.

We recommend that you read the instructions thoroughly.
