Finish Amigurumi Moon

After you have finished crocheting all parts for the amigurumi moon you can sew them together. First sew on the nose in the middle of the moon. Pay attention to sew it firmly, so no child can pull or turn it off. Then you can sew on the pupils by using the thread ends. The finished eyes you can sew on the moon. At least embroider a mouth with black or red darning yarn.

Tip: You will find here also a pattern to crochet stars. With both patterns you can crochet a beautiful “moon and stars” mobile.

Congratulations! Your crocheted moon is finished. I´m looking forward for your next visit!
