Block 3 in this crochet along is in honor of my son GKatt who helped design this AMAZING afghan. He’s intelligent, hard-working, cheeky, talented (he dances!), the quintessential pesky younger (not little) brother, and an all around cool kid. When I look at this emoji, I think of him.
GKatt got the smirk just right in this block. It’s perfect with the shades! Enjoy stitching up this block this week. Next week is the Love Emoji.

Cool Emoji Instructions
Materials
~ Cool Emoji 25×25 Pixel Graph
~ Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn 3.5 oz skeins in the following colors:
- Mustard [244] — 2.5 ounces
- White [212] — 2.5 ounces
- Black [169] — 1.6 ounces
~ Size H Crochet Hook or hook needed to achieve gauge (see Gauge for C2C Afghans)
~ Tapestry Needle
Crochet the square starting from the bottom right corner of the chart. Row-by-row written instructions are below.
After you finish crocheting the block, crochet one row of single crochet in WHITE around the entire block. I crochet 5 single crochet stitches for every two squares or pixels on the chart. If I try to do more than that, my border tends to end up wavy from too many stitches. For 25×25 pixel graphs I crochet 63 SC stitches on each side + an extra stitch in each corner. I do recommend counting the stitches and having the same number on each side—being consistent will make it much easier to sew the blocks together at the end.
Enjoy!
