One of my favorite things to make when it comes to crochet creations is anything that makes me laugh. Even better if it’s a simple pattern that I can whip up in a few hours! This cute little chill pill was so fun to come up with for a friend that needed a little cheering up after a recent surgery. I knew I had to share it with my fellow crochet lovers. It is made with simple stitches, and shouldn’t take you too long to make. You can use whatever color combo you want, and you can customize the face in so many different ways as well. I decided to keep it simple with a pair of blushing cheeks, but you can add any types of personal touches you wish! Let’s get started!

Didn’t it turn out ADORABLE? Just what the doctor ordered to bring some cheer!
