Arrr Matey! I Need a Crocheted Eye Patch!

Today is Pirate Day at school and Darla and Drew needed to get into theme! I have always disliked those hard plastic eye patches you can find at the store. They are uncomfortable and not very child friendly! I decided to make my Little Pirates soft eye patches they could wear safely and comfortably. Here’s what I came up with:

Little Pirates - Oombawka Design

 Supplies

  • Yarn: Red Heart Soft, 100% Acrylic, Medium (4), (5 oz/141 g; 256 yds/234 m).
  • Hook: 4 mm (G) Clover Amour
  • Round Elastic Cord (4.6 m – 5 yds) 58% rubber/42% polyester (I used H.A. Kidd and Company Limited 3042313W)
  • Scissors, Yarn Needle, Stitch Marker (optional)

Difficulty Level

EASY

Finished Size

Small: 2.5 ” height, 3.0″ width

Medium: 2.75″ height, 3.0″ width

Gauge

is not really imperative so long as the stitches are close together (no holes)

Abbreviations

Finishing

Cut a length of Round Cord Elastic.  Measure the circumference of the head and cut the elastic 1-inch shorter. For Darla’s and Drew’s the elastic measured 19-inches in length.

Thread one end on a yarn needle and attach it to the eye patch as follows.

Eyepatch 1

Eye Patch 2

Eyepatch 3

Eyepatch 4

Then take the two ends and knot them simply like this:

Eye Patch 5

Pull to tighten.

Eye Patch Knot 1

If the front buckles slightly, don’t worry! Just pull the elastic slightly in between the stitches to give it a bit more slack and it will flatten back out easily 🙂
