Crochet evil eye jewelry is such a fun way to carry a little “good vibes” talisman with you every day. These projects stay light on yarn, heavy on style, and most use only a few meters of thread or cotton scraps. Think tiny eyes as pendants, stacked bracelets, delicate chokers, and fluttery earrings you can dress up or down. Start with simple circles, then add chains, beads, or tassels to turn motifs into wearable pieces. Pick one small make, grab your hooks, and stitch yourself a little portable protection.

Crochet Evil Eye Friendship Bracelet
Turn the puffy motif from this Crochet Evil Eye Friendship Bracelet idea into a sweet wrist talisman.

Urbaki’s beginner-friendly evil eye keychain tutorial shows you how to crochet a flat circular eye in the classic blue, white, and black palette.

Delicate Crochet Evil Eye Choker
The flat motif from Morine’s eye applique makes a perfect center for a Delicate Crochet Evil Eye Choker. Work the applique in fingering-weight cotton so it stays slim and lightweight, using black for the pupil, blue for the iris, and white for the sclera as suggested. When finished, crochet a narrow chain or simple lace strip from each side of the eye to wrap comfortably around your neck, adding a button or lobster clasp at the back. It’s subtle, modern, and wonderfully stash-friendly. Instructions for the eye are in the Tutorial.
Supplies:

Bold Crochet Evil Eye Cuff Bracelet
Turn Morine’s eye granny square into a chunky Bold Crochet Evil Eye Cuff Bracelet. Work a single square following her color order—black, navy blue, sky blue, white, and royal blue—then stop once the square is just a bit larger than your wrist width. Lightly block it to keep the eye crisp. Add a short ribbed tab or button band on each side so the cuff hugs your wrist without twisting. Finish with a sturdy button or snap. The granny square instructions are clear and photo-supported in the Tutorial.

Follow her evil eye wall art color recipe—black, navy blue, sky blue, white, royal blue, and gold—for a rich talisman feel, but work just the square section without tassels. After blocking, add a row of single crochet around the top edge to hide a row of evenly spaced jump rings, then hang the medallion on a chunky chain or multi-strand crochet cord. It’s bold, symbolic, and very wearable when scaled down. Learn the motif construction in the Tutorial.
Supplies:

Boho Crochet Evil Eye Hand Chain
The vivid square from Beanies & Weenies becomes the centerpiece of a Boho Crochet Evil Eye Hand Chain. Work one evil eye granny square using black, light blue (Turqua), white, and royal blue as in the pattern. Instead of a wall hanging, add a narrow wrist strap to one corner and a slim ring loop to the opposite corner so the square lies flat on the back of your hand. Attach simple chains or crocheted cords to connect them. It’s a unique, festival-ready accessory with full eye instructions in the Tutorial.
Supplies:

FAQs
1. What yarns work best for crochet evil eye jewelry?
Smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarns are ideal, especially mercerized cotton for thread-weight pieces. They give crisp stitch definition, lie flat, and feel comfortable against skin. For tiny earrings and delicate chokers, choose fine cotton thread (#10 or similar). For chunkier necklaces and cuffs, light DK or worsted cotton works well.
2. Can I machine wash crochet jewelry, or should I hand wash it?
For anything with metal findings, beads, or delicate thread, hand wash in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent, then blot in a towel and lay flat to dry. Bracelets or chokers made entirely from sturdy cotton yarn can often be machine washed in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle, but air drying still helps them keep their shape.
3. How do I scale a pattern up or down for different jewelry types?
To make a motif smaller, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook, or stop a round or two earlier than the pattern. To make it larger, add extra increase rounds in the same rhythm or switch to thicker yarn and a bigger hook. For chokers and bracelets, measure your neck or wrist and adjust the length of chains or bands accordingly before fastening off.
4. Which fibers are safest for pieces worn on skin or near heat?
For everyday wear, cotton and cotton blends are comfortable and less irritating for sensitive skin. Avoid acrylic for pieces that may brush against hot surfaces (like stovetops or hair tools), since it can melt. For earrings, pair thread or very fine cotton with stainless steel or hypoallergenic posts to reduce the risk of irritation.
5. How can I make joins and edgings durable for daily use?
Always weave in ends securely in multiple directions and, where possible, crochet edgings in continuous rounds rather than sewing pieces together. Use tight slip stitches or single crochet around edges to reinforce motifs, especially on bracelets and chokers. When connecting to metal findings, use strong jump rings and close them carefully with pliers so they don’t snag or open.
6. How much time and yarn do these projects typically take?
Tiny stud earrings or a single charm usually take less than an hour and just a few meters of thread. Dangle earrings and slim bracelets might use 10–20 grams of yarn and take an evening. Larger cuffs, lariats, or layered necklaces can take 25–50 grams total and one to three evenings, depending on your speed and how much embellishment you add.
7. Any tips for photographing my crochet evil eye jewelry?
Use natural light from a window, turn off harsh overhead lights, and shoot against a simple background like plain fabric, a neutral tabletop, or a wooden board. Get close enough to show stitch texture and eye detail. Try both flat lays and modeled shots—bracelets on wrists, earrings on stands or ears, necklaces on a bust or simple t-shirt—for the most eye-catching photos.
8. How do I fix curling or wavy edges on small motifs?
Light blocking usually solves it: dampen the motifs, shape them carefully, and pin them flat on a towel or blocking board until dry. If they still curl, you may need one more round of stitches or a simple single-crochet edging. For bracelets and chokers, adding a short ribbed band or fabric backing can also help the Crochet motifs lie flat and feel sturdier.
