I have found that you need to keep a tight tension for your crocheted animals to turn out well. Also to get the same size as the pattern designer you need to do a test gauge swatch.

You will want to get plastic eyes for your crochet animal amigurumi. Amazon is a good place to find them. I got these eyes.

If you are making a crocheted stuffed animal for a new baby I would stitch on the eyes or make sure your crocheting is very tight. You will need to test that the eyes cannot be pulled out.
