Day 3 of the Craft Yarn Council’s Anti-Boredom Month Granny Square Crochet-A-Long here on my blog is one of my favorites!
The Emoji Granny Square!
I chose to make a fun emoji, a smile with a playful tongue! These emoticons have taken over the world in the past few years and are a huge hit with kids and adults alike.

Feel free to play with the facial features sewn onto this shape, there are lots of different emojis to choose from!
