Yesss! A Crochet Smiley Face Square is such a fun, playful motif—perfect for blankets, bags, tops, or even wall hangings. It’s a creative twist on the classic granny square, usually featuring a bright yellow face with that iconic smile stitched in. 😄
What Is a Smiley Face Square?
A Smiley Face Square is a decorative crochet square (often based on a granny or solid square pattern) that incorporates a yellow circular face in the center, with a stitched or crocheted-on smile and eyes. It mixes colorwork, shaping, and surface embroidery or appliqué techniques.
Think of it as a granny square + emoji = crochet cuteness overload!
