This Winking Face crochet pattern is the third face design in my second series of six. This face has a smile, and one of its eyes is winking. It is also known as the Wink Face.
The Winking Face is usually used to express a hidden meaning or joke in a positive tone. This is one of my favorite faces, as I use it a lot in my messages!
