- Single crochet - sc
- Increase (inc) - 2 stitches in the same stitch

Notes
- Yarn Type: I made the crochet moon pillow pattern with acrylic yarn since it's what I had on hand, but this project can be completed with any type of yarn. I highly suggest using cotton, acrylic, or chunky yarn. Keep in mind that if you use chunky yarn, the moon will be quite large!
- Finished Size: The finished size of the crochet moon plush is about 8 inches, if you want it larger use thicker yarn and a larger hook.
- Curvature Adjustment: If you want your moon to be curvier, you can always increase each row more than what I do, especially toward the last few rounds.
Instructions
The crochet moon pillow pattern is made in rounds and uses hdc as the main stitch.
- Round 1: Using the yellow yarn, make a mr and make hdc x10 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then hdc x10 into the second chain from the hook (10).
- Round 2: Inc in every hdc (20).
- Round 3: Inc, hdc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30).
- Round 4: Inc, hdc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (40).
- Round 5: Inc, hdc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (50).
- Round 6: Inc, hdc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (60).
- Round 7: Inc, hdc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (80).
- Round 8: Inc, hdc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (100).
- Round 9: Inc, hdc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (125).
- Round 10: Inc, hdc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (150).
- Round 11: Inc, hdc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (175).
- Round 12: Inc, hdc x6. Then repeat for the rest of the round (200). After completing the round make a sc in the next stitch and then a sl st in the following one.
- Fold the moon in half, the sl st you just made is the top stitch where you folded the moon.
- Sc the moon closed by going through both the front and back hdc stitches.
- Stuff the moon as you go. Pay careful attention to the curve and stuff as needed to make it appear smooth and have a nice rounded shape to it.
- When you are done, fasten off the yarn and weave in the ends.
- And now you have a crochet moon pillow! Now you just need some stars to go with it.
