How to Crochet a Crescent Moon

Because they only requires a needle and yarn, crochet crafts are affordable and easily transportable.

Crocheting is a relaxing, affordable hobby in which clothes or crafts are made using a single thread of yarn or similar fabric. There are endless possibilities as to what you can create, from stuffed animals to blankets to wearable hats and scarves. One design you can undertake is a crescent moon; this is ideal as an addition to an existing celestial project, but is also cute on its own as a small, delicate stuffed toy.

Things You'll Need

• 1 crochet needle (size G)
• 1 skein yarn in any color (medium weight)

Instructions

Instructions

1. Begin by making 12 chain stitches. In the first row, make one single crochet stitch in each of the next two chain stitches. Join your last stitch to your first one. Repeat.

2. Still in the first row, make two double crochet stitches in each of the next seven chain stitches. Repeat this process four times. Follow this with another single crochet stitch in each of the next two chain stitches.

3. Turn the pattern and skip the first single stitch. Place a single stitch in each of the next two stitches, followed by two single stitches in the next two as well. Beginning with the first set of single stitches, repeat this procedure once. Make a slip stitch in the last stitch, and your project is complete.
