Button Size Guide

I mainly use button eyes for my amigurumi - as a rough guide you will need a main, outer button (I use Clown/Coat buttons - the ones with a rim round the outer edge); a flat white button a few mm smaller than the Clown/Coat button; and a flat black 'pupil' button a few mm smaller than that. For Pocket Pals, I tend to use:

15mm Black Clown/Coat Button

11mm White Flat Button

6mm Black Flat 'Pupil' Button

** I sell Button Eye Packs in my Etsy Shop! I use a size Small for these particular amigurumi

If you'd like to use Safety Eyes instead, for Pocket Pals (made with recommended yarn weight) I would suggest 10mm or smaller Safety Eyes
