Assembly

1. Heart Placement:
   - Arrange the two red crocheted hearts as "eyes" on the yellow emoji face with pins. Position for symmetry and emotional effect.
2. Creating the Mouth:
   - Use brown felt or wool roving for the mouth shape, needle-felt or sew in place.
   - Alternatively, embroider a smiling mouth using brown thread and a tapestry needle.
3. Attaching the Heart Eyes:
   - Use the long tails on the hearts or fabric glue to securely attach each heart to the emoji base.
   - Allow glue to dry completely if used.
4. Final Details:
   - Adjust fiberfill if needed to maintain shape.
   - Weave in and trim any remaining yarn ends.

Pattern Correction

• In Heart Shaping, Round 4, ensure you are working the triple increases (3 dc in the same stitch) sequentially as outlined; this gives the correct indent and rounded top for the heart.
• For the Emoji Base, rounds 18-24 decrease as written; ensure correct placement of dec stitches to keep the sphere symmetrical.

Tips

• Keep your stitches snug, especially on the heart eyes, to create crisp shapes.
• Use pins to experiment with facial feature placement before gluing or sewing for best appearance.
• When embroidering, keep your movements clean and consult an emoji reference image for facial proportions.
