Hi Everyone!

Thank you so much for coming by.  Crochet has been a passion of mine for many years and I am so excited to share my patterns and learn and grow with you all!

With that said, lets get right to it.  Today, we're making mini Eye Scream Cones!  October is here and I'm embracing all things cooky and spooky.

Iris shown with Beach Glass

 Assembly:

Sew iris section to the cone.  I attached so the bottom of the iris is just touching the top of the first row of white
Sew the blood in whatever position you like.  You can leave the entire iris exposed like I have above, or get super creepy and have the blood flowing over the iris.  The choice is all yours!

Hide all your ends and snip 

Using Red Embroidery floss, add details for bloodshot eyes.

And, we're done!   I hope you enjoyed my very first pattern and post!  If you like this pattern, be sure to follow me on Instagram @NotYourYiyasCrochet and also on Facebook at Not Your Yiyas Crochet
