Smiling Eyes Emoji Ball Free Amigurumi Pattern

 

Smiling Eyes Emoji Ball Free Amigurumi Pattern

    A friend recently told me I should crochet an emoji ball. The emoji that I use the most is the smiling eyes emojis, so I thought I would make that one. This ball is relatively quick to make and only uses a little yarn. Since it only uses simple shapes, it is also great for beginners! You could use it as a stress ball, a baby toy, a large keychain, or even a Christmas ornament. I hope you enjoy making this pattern!
