Amigurumi Pattern Details & Key Features

This Crescent Moon Crochet Pattern utilizes seamless construction. The pattern incorporates advanced techniques essential for professional results:

• Perfect Crescent Shaping: Detailed instructions for shaping the complex crescent curve.
• Clean Closure: Instructions for cleanly closing the tips to maintain the final sharp crescent shape.
• Embroidery: The pattern guides the maker to finish facial features using detailed Outline Stitch techniques.

Yarn & Materials

• Yarn: Alize Diva (100% Microfiber Acrylic, 100g/350m approx. 382 yds) in Blue/Light Blue.

Total Project Weight: The finished Moon weighs approximately 8 grams (0.3 oz).

Total Yarn Required: Less than 5 grams of yarn is needed. (This pattern is perfect for using up yarn scraps!)

Alternative Yarn: You can substitute Alize Diva with any Fingering Weight or Sport Weight (Category 1 or 2) yarn that achieves a tight gauge with the suggested hook.

• Stuffing: Fiberfill (Hollofiber).

Tools for this Intermediate Amigurumi Moon

• Crochet Hook: 1.75 mm hook (equivalent to US B/1).

Hook Note: For Amigurumi, it is essential to achieve a very tight, gap-free fabric. If you substitute the yarn, choose a hook that is one or two sizes smaller than the hook size recommended on the yarn label to maintain the necessary tension.

• Embroidery Thread: Thin sewing or embroidery thread in White/Off-White (for the Moon’s eyes).
• Other Notions: Tapestry needle, embroidery needle, scissors, and a stitch marker.

Sizing & Gauge

• Finished Measurements: Moon Height Approximately 7 cm (2.8 inches) and 5 cm (2 inches) wide.
• Gauge: 36 sc and 36 rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet.

MOST IMPORTANT:

You must crochet very tightly so that the Fiberfill (stuffing) does not show through the stitches. If your fabric is loose, use a smaller hook size.
