COVID-19 and social distancing are on everyone’s minds. It is, therefore, exceedingly appropriate to begin this series with the Safe Emoji, also known as the MASKED EMOJI.
Isn’t that PERFECT? I started out with a smaller mask, but my son GKatt pointed out that the mask needed to entirely cover our emoji’s nose and mouth so he redesigned it. Way to keep our emoji safe!

Safe Emoji Instructions
Materials
~ Safe Emoji 25×25 Pixel Graph
~ Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn 3.5 oz skeins in the following colors:
- White [314 squares] — 3.4 ounces
- Mustard [237 squares] — 2.2 ounces
- Black [74 squares] — .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!
