Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a Smiley Face Square!
Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used:
With DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
With Worsted Weight yarn and and 4.5 mm knitting needles (US size 7, UK size 7) finished square is approximately 26 cm x 26 cm (10 inches x 10 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.

Hi again Daisy and Storm! Was wondering if you could share what program you use to make your patterns? I would love to make some of my own but I’m unsure of how to do so. If you ever want someone to help create patterns for you, I’d definitely be interested!
I’m a beginner at knitting and I find these dish cloths very easy, love them keep up good work x
Thanks so much Maureen 🙂
Just want to thank you for such a remarkable collection of free patterns. It is of immeasurable value to have so many themes and pictures to choose from. It allows one to make something truly unique and to be creative in doing so. Thanks again and wishing you only the best.
Thank you Lindy 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoy the patterns
