Happy Puff Stitch Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Happy moods is the Puff Stitch - one of the most versatile textured stitches in that the texture it creates is seen on both sides of the pattern.
This square design features the puff stitch on 2 of the rounds of this square, allowing you the chance to perfect one of my favourite stitches.
I hope that you'll be making lots of happy squares throughout your crochet project!

Angry Post Stitch Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Angry moods are front post and back post stitches - my favourite way to make crochet ribbing.
Once you've got the hang of working around the posts of your stitches, you will fall in love with the repetitive nature of these stitches and the amazing texture they create.
I hope that you wont be making lots of these squares, but anger is a part of life - if we were happy all the time, life wouldn't be so interesting!

Sad Paired Half Double Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Sad mood is Paired Half Double crochet.
This stitch is worked in the same way as a hdc decrease, worked across 2 stitches, but the unique way it is worked does not decrease the stitch count - it's magic!
I'm certainly not wishing you a sad week, but at the same time, I hope you get a chance to try this square out.

Fearful Extended Half Double Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Fearful mood is the Extended Half Double Crochet.
This stitch has been used to showcase how facing our fears makes us stretch our own abilities - not always through choice, but in way's that can make us stronger.
The stitch has been combined with working in the 3rd loop to represent the wall we may put up to protect ourselves from scary situations too.

Disgusted Double Crochet Cluster Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to disgusted moods is the 2 Double Crochet Cluster Stitch - another magic stitch, a little like the paired half double crochet.
It's a stitch that doesn't show up very often, hopefully like the moods that will mean you need to stitch this square.
I love the texture it creates, and the added chain spaces between the stitches will allow that mood to dissipate and change to something else.

Energetic Popcorn Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Energetic mood is the Popcorn Stitch.
This highly textured stitch sits loud and proud above the fabric of the granny square, almost shouting out your high energy mood!
I hope that just like the happy square, you'll feature this granny square in your blanket a number of times.

Joyous Bobble Stitch Granny Square | In The Mood
The stitch assigned to Joyous moods is the Bobble Stitch - a very special textured stitch, as the size of the bobble can be easily changed.
The bobble size created in this pattern is on the medium side, but the mood it represents is not a medium feeling!
It's a special mood that is reserved for special events, happenings and feelings.
