Piece it Together...
Sew any additional knitted facial features to the main body piece before sewing up altogether. This allows easier hiding of loose ends.
Backstitch any other detailing required as per your design, including loop stitching for the poo emoji eyes - count the numbers of knitted stitches to keep your design symmetrical.
Once all your facial features are sewn on, place the second body piece to the back of this front face piece, with right side of st-st together. Oversew cast-on and cast-off edges and row ends of these two body pieces. Leave a small gap to allow light stuffing (so that the emoji is still fairly flat), then complete this oversewing and fasten off.
Finger-knitting a length of yarn to attach to the top of the emoji will allow these little fellas to be decoratively tied onto a door handle or hook, or even added as a purse/bag charm. Alternatively, sew onto a hairband or headband to make a fun knitted hair accessory!

Make it Different!
If you don't fancy knitting so many of them and maybe struggling to choose between the different faces, you could always do a different face on either side of the emoji and can then flip it over.
Those lucky enough to have the newest latest gadgets may also know, but I've heard that on some phones you can make up your own emojis. You can of course add your own artistic flair to these as you so wish!
Behind the Scenes!
These patterns are all made up as I go along, learning from mistakes along the way. Every time I create a new pattern, I record it in the Updates part of this site (effectively my blog…) There is a story behind each creation, and this can help give you some more ideas and inspiration.
