Emoticon Patterns the following patterns include 8 emoticons:
A Base Note: As the pattern slants to the right (for right-handed crocheters) or the left (for left-handed crocheters), we'll add correction stitches wherever needed. This means, in some rows we'll crochet a few stitches more than the actual stitch count demands. The correction stitches will be mentioned, but won't show up in the stitch count for the round, since all we'll do is moving the beginning of the round a bit to the left (or right, respectively) to work against the slant. In a simple ball pattern, it might not actually be needed, but since all my plushie patterns work with correction stitches, this one has them too.
