At our house we like to offer these on a plate. I offer you a free pattern!
For a shiny new PDF version of the pattern please visit me at:
MaryJaneMucklestone.com and click on "Free Stuff"!
If you would like a visual aid, please visit my Knitted Olive Tutorial. It is made much the same way.
As it turns out there are quite a few knitted eyeballs rolling around the planet:
insubordiknit has beautiful multiple felted ones nestled in a mass of bloody guts, softly felted bloody guts.
kitkatknit has a beautiful shot of knit-art "sushi with eyeballs" scrumtious!
domiknitrix has a great all-purpose Large (22") eyeball with a downlaodable pattern.
Knitzelmade a nice one for a Doctor's office, with correctly placed muscles!
Shari suggested filling them with catnip, for catnip eyeballs! Brilliant!
BlondeAmbitionKnits has a nice veiny one.
Please comment if you eyeball any more!

ps what should i be for halloween i have no idea!
too fun! thanks for sharing the pattern
thank you!
these are so great.
oh my gosh, these are soooo cool! What a great surprise! They made me laugh and laugh just thinking about your trick or treaters seeing them for the first time on the plate when they come to your door! I wonder if mine will be as pretty as yours?! They are way too awesome, thanks so much for sharing and making me laugh!
What a great idea for a rainy day like today!!
ps- Sophia S , I have always been fond of the 'pregnant nun' Halloween costume.. BEWARE, I ended up pregnant shortly after wearing the costume!
These are amazing.
I'm going to ask my mom to make me a little bowlfull!
Thanks so much for sharing the pattern!
Now that, I think, is not something our mother's would knit! Too cool!
Thanks for all the nice comments! I strung a few eyeballs on a quick knitted headband, for a Knitted Eyeball Tiara. Spooktacular for the un-costumey costume!
These are just so fun. I, of course, would add a few bloodshot veins with embroidery. Happy Halloween!
Great pattern! Thanks for posting it -- the possibilities are endless!
I love Kristin's suggestion of adding embroidered bloodshot veins. Extra gross! :)
fantastic! thanks for posting the pattern.
Oh man! Those are great, and make me feel less weird (http://knitzel.blogspot.com/2007/06/eyes-on-prize.html) A friend emailed me a link to your blog, and now I see there are plenty of eyeball knittin' sisters out there. Nice job!
Very Cute!! I came from the Crafzine.com blog and my first thought was add a little catnip and eyeball cat toys!! :)
Awesome! Thank you.
these are teh awesome! you are so very cool. i would love to make a hat covered in these.
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! I am an optometrist and cannot wait to make some of these!
Posting these on stash bustin'
Thanks for sharing.
I swear I want to fill mason jars with these for Christmas and tie a gingham bow on them. So very Wednesday Addams!
I love this pattern. I have been knitting eyeballs for days now. I did find some errors in the instructions however.
I believe Rnd 4 should be: inc 1, K1, inc1 on each needle. This makes 15 stitches around.
Rnd 7 ends with 21 stitches, not 27
Rnd 11 should be K1, K2tog, K4 on each needle.
Please let me know if I am wrong and I am the one reading your pattern wrong.
thanks so much. Everyone is loving the eyeballs I'm knitting.
thanks jammy dodger, I guess I better knit me an eyeball when I get home. I thought I'd been a good tech editor, but perhaps not!
I love it!
I just bought Glow in the dark yarn (Bernat) and I can't wait to make these with that yarn! perfect for Halloween.
I made these with glow in the dark yarn and everyone loved them! Super fun without the cavities. I love the Airstream as well.
Thanks! This was a great boredom buster tonight while I sit watching the snow. I'm Savagerabbit on Ravelry.
Hello!
Made a pair 2 weeks ago for my friend's cats. I added an i-cord as optic nerves, and they've been a huge success.
I just adore this pattern. :)
this is a great pattern, I'm going to surprise my little sister with these for her annual halloween party this year. Starting now so I have plenty of time yay! Thanks again! :)
