Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, the process of crafting a crochet crescent moon is a rewarding and enjoyable journey filled with possibilities for personalization and creativity. So, grab your crochet hook, select your favorite yarn colors, and let your imagination soar as you bring this celestial symbol to life with each loop and stitch!
Supplies
Gray yarn (DK or sport weight)
Size B crochet hook or appropriate to your yarn size
Two 4mm safety eyes or black embroidery thread

Scissors
The yarn I used was just a regular synthetic DK yarn scrap I had left over from an older project. That's the best thing about small amigurumi projects. You can make a bunch of them using your scrap yarn!
