Instructions:

This throw blanket consists of 12 squares, each showcasing a different emoji face. You will create 6 unique emoji designs, with each design repeated twice.

Square Construction:

1. Start with a magic ring and chain 4 (counts as first double crochet and chain 1).
2. Round 1: Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain. (12 dc)
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch, chain 1, *(2 dc in the next stitch, chain 1)* repeat around. Join. (12 dc + 12 chain 1 spaces)
4. Round 3: Work 1 dc in each dc, and 1 dc in each chain 1 space. Join.
5. For the emoji designs, use surface crochet to add facial features. For example, to create a smiling face, use black yarn for the eyes and mouth. Incorporate red for blushing cheeks or any other colors you desire for different expressions!

Assembling the Blanket:

Once all 12 squares are complete, arrange them in a 3x4 configuration. Join each square using slip stitch or whip stitch to create a cohesive blanket.

Finishing:

Add a border around the entire blanket if desired. A simple single crochet border can add a polished finish!

Care Instructions:

Machine wash on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.

Enjoy your cozy, emoji-inspired throw blanket!
