Step 1: Create the Magic Ring
Begin by making a Magic Ring.
Inside the Magic Ring, crochet 8 single crochets.
Close the Magic Ring tightly.
Step 2: First Row
Start the first row by making 2 single crochets in each stitch from the base.
You should have 16 single crochets at the end of this row
Step 3: Second Row
For this row, alternate between making 1 single crochet in the first stitch and 2 single crochets (an increase) in the next stitch.
Repeat this pattern throughout the row.
Step 4: Third Row
Similar to the previous row, alternate between making 1 single crochet in the first two stitches and 2 single crochets in the third stitch.
Repeat until the end of the row.
Step 5: Fourth Row
This row follows the same alternating pattern: make a single crochet in the first two stitches, followed by an increase in the third stitch.
Continue this pattern for the entire row.
Step 6: Fifth Row
In this row, crochet 2 single crochets in the next two stitches and then increase in the third stitch.
Continue this sequence around the row.
Step 7: Sixth Row
Repeat the same pattern: 2 single crochets followed by an increase in the third stitch.
Step 8: Seventh Row
For the final row, repeat the pattern: 2 single crochets followed by an increase in the third stitch.
Once completed, your piece should look like a flat circle.
Shaping the Crescent Moon
Fold the crocheted piece in half to form the shape of a crescent moon.
Crochet slip stitches through both layers of the piece to close it.
Make sure to leave a small opening for stuffing
Adding Stuffing
Insert a small amount of synthetic fiber filling into the opening.
Ensure it is evenly distributed but not overly stuffed.
Close the opening with slip stitches.
Attaching the Keychain Ring
Attach a gold ring or earring ring to the top of the moon using jewelry pliers.
If you don’t have a ring, you can crochet a strap and attach it to the keychain ring.
Adding Pearls
Use silicone glue to attach half pearls or beads to the moon.
Distribute them evenly based on your aesthetic preference.
Allow the glue to dry completely.
