Emoji Afghan Layout
Begin by laying your blocks out in whatever order you wish. Make sure all of your blocks are right side up. It’s true that the blocks are reversible, however, the direction that the stitches lie is different on the front and the back. For a cohesive look make sure all of your blocks face the same direction.
If you want your blanket to look like the sample I’ve stitched, lay them out in this order (left to right):
Row 1: Safe Emoji, Crazy Emoji, Cool Emoji
Row 2: Love Emoji, Sad Emoji, Surprised Emoji
Row 3: Angry Emoji, Embarrassed Emoji, Laughing Emoji
Remember that you should have already edged each block with a white row of single crochet. If you have not done this, do it now. The single crochet row makes it easier to match up stitches and sew the blocks together.
Stitching the emoji afghan together
Whip stitch the blocks into three rows.
Once the rows are sewn, whip stitch the rows together.
Now it’s time to add the border. I chose to use a moss stitch for the border and I love it! I think it complements this afghan very well. And my son loves it too! For moss stitch instructions, see How to Crochet Moss Stitch.
Work the following Moss Stitch Rows:
- 1 row White
- 2 rows Mustard
- 1 row Black
And that’s it! Here you can see the completed afghan.
Finished Size: 55 x 55 inches
And this is GKatt who helped design this afghan. Once I finished the afghan, he appropriated it for himself in about 5 minutes. I guess it’s only fair that he should get to claim it. 🙂
I hope you enjoyed working this afghan as much as I did!

In row 3 the emoji are labeled however I think the emoji shown are NOT what was said.
Row 3: Angry Emoji, Embarrassed Emoji, Laughing Emoji
Not what is shown.
I love this pattern. It will be great for my great great niece!
I’m too old to be in be the know of the emoji uses but am told this is “rad”
Thank you for the pattern. It’s going to be my next project.
I’m glad you like the pattern! I don’t pretend to be an emoji guru either. There are multiple names for the different faces, but this is what I’ve chosen to call them. I’d love to see a picture of your great great niece with the finished blanket!
