Lacy Smiley Face

Copyright © by Susan Mrenna 2006 Knit A Little 

Worsted weight yarn, size 7 needles 

Cast on 43 Stitches 

K = knit, p = purl, k2tog = knit 2 together, yo = yarn over. 

X means to repeat the stitches in parentheses as many times as the number before the x. 

Stitches in [ ] are border stitches, you may substitute the border of your choice. This pattern is a tiny bit wider and shorter than my usual patterns. 

You will always have 43 stitches every row. The stitch count does not change from row to row. 

Yarn overs (yo) count as a stitch.
