Product Description
APPLIQUE PATTERN ONLY
Make these Hawk Eyes and Spikes to embellish your projects in any colors to go with your theme. I chose Seattle Seahawks colors because that's my home team. Go Hawks!
They are fun and fast to make! You can make them bigger or smaller simply by adjusting your hook size.
I didn't include a hat pattern with this because there are a lot of great free ones out there and really you can add these appliqués to anything I think they would look neat on a blanket, scarf, or even a handbag.
A photo tutorial is included with this pattern that makes it easy to follow and make. This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
This pattern has been tested by accomplished crocheters and designers, but if you have any problems working through it let me know and I would be happy to help. <3

Hawk Eyes & Spikes Crochet Pattern by Misty Makes Designs
Project Overview
Hawk Eyes & Spikes is a crochet pattern designed by Misty Makes Designs that creates decorative eye embellishments with spike details. This downloadable PDF pattern is ideal for crafters looking to add dimensional, themed eye elements to amigurumi projects, stuffed animals, or other crochet creations. The pattern is commercially friendly, allowing makers to sell finished items created from these instructions.
What Is Being Made
This pattern produces crocheted eye components featuring a hawk or predatory bird aesthetic, complete with spike accents. These eyes are designed as standalone elements that can be incorporated into larger crochet projects or used as decorative appliqués. The pattern supports creative color customization, enabling crafters to adapt the eyes to match various themes and project requirements.
Crochet Techniques Used
The Hawk Eyes & Spikes pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The pattern incorporates loop manipulation techniques including front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO) stitching, which create textural variation and dimensional effects. These selective loop techniques allow crafters to control fabric structure and create the defined spike elements characteristic of the design.
Crochet Stitches Included
- Chain (ch) – Used to create foundation stitches and increase stitch counts
- Slip Stitch (slst) – Joins rounds and creates seamless transitions between sections
- Single Crochet (sc) – The primary stitch for building the eye structure with tight, dense fabric
- Yarn Over (YO) – Essential technique for all crochet stitches
- Picot – A special stitch technique used to create decorative spike details and textural embellishments
Materials Required
This pattern calls for medium worsted weight yarn, offering flexibility in color selection. The designer used Red Heart yarn in "Seahawk" colors to create a coordinated color scheme, though crafters are encouraged to choose alternative colors to suit different themes and project aesthetics. A size G crochet hook is specified for working with the worsted weight yarn, ensuring proper gauge and fabric consistency.
Pattern Features
The Hawk Eyes & Spikes pattern includes comprehensive stitch abbreviations and clear definitions for specialized techniques. The instructions define essential crochet terminology including back loop only (BLO) and front loop only (FLO) stitching methods, making the pattern accessible to crafters developing their technical skills. The picot special stitch creates the distinctive spike elements that give this pattern its visual character and dimensional appeal.
