Introduction
Are you looking for a fun and modern way to jazz up your crochet projects? Look no further! Today, I’m excited to share a free pattern for an emoji face using the modern filet crochet technique. This versatile and engaging pattern is perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your blankets, pillows, or even wall hangings.
Filet crochet
Filet crochet is a technique that uses a combination of solid blocks and open spaces to create a design, often resembling a grid or lace. Modern filet crochet takes this traditional method and gives it a contemporary twist, making it perfect for creating trendy and playful designs like emojis.
In modern filet crochet, patterns are formed by creating open squares (usually consisting of a chain space – ch) and filled squares (typically made of one double crochet – dc). By combining these squares in various arrangements, you can create intricate images and designs.
A simple emoji pattern
Here’s a simple pattern for an emoji face that you can easily incorporate into your projects. The chart below represents the pattern, where each filled square represents a double crochet block (1 dc) and each empty square represents an open space (1 ch). Also start stitch and end stitch is omitted in the chart.

Abreviations
US notations used.
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
st – stitch
start st – ch 2, dc into the same st
end st – dc.
Pattern
Start with ch 29 (25 – main pattern, 1 – End st, 3 – Start st). Start crocheting into 3rd ch from the hook
(first 2 ch and dc counts as Start st for row 1).
