Description
This little guy is approximately 7" tall. I kind of have an obsession with needle-felting eyes now
I think my old needle was worn or just sucked.. because the eyes were pretty quick when I used a brand new needle. Also, there is wire in his legs because I wanted him to be able to stand as well as sit, but that is entirely optional. Anyway, here is the pattern!**Please, please, please credit me for the pattern because it took me quite a while to convert my notes into something understandable! Also, let me know if you catch any mistakes or if you have any questions!

I started to try your pattern. I don't really know how I make the eyes, maybe I get an idea during the process. I'm excited to show you my result, hopefully very soon.

You should check out needle felting videos on Youtube. It takes some practice and experimenting but it's fun once you get the hang of it!

I did the thing! Sadly, I have no clue how to felt so the eyes are nowhere near as adorbs as yours. Perhaps later it will get an upgrade!

Sooo cute! Love those tail feathers and the enormous back feet.
Ever since I saw Haku's eyes, I've still meaning to try needle-felting with my amigurumi. I just don't know how to get started. Do you buy those big packages of wool...stuff?
"Wool-stuff." Very intelligent.

Thanks!! Yeah, it's called wool roving (for your searching purposes)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds neat! Now, when I went to the store, I couldn't find pure white wool, just off-white. Do you use regular sheets of felt for your eyes and then needle felt the color on, or have you just dealt with off-white? ...Or did you find pure white wool? It could have just been out of stock.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, I've had no luck finding pure white either. I think they do sell it online though.. the prices are pretty decent on Amazon. I'm waiting on some to arrive in the mail right now actually. But yes, I did use regular sheets of felt for the whites of the eyes and I did just go with the off-white for the "reflecting" whites in the eyes.

I'll have to buy some and play around with it!
