This crochet moon Amigurumi is perfect for making baby mobiles, pacifier chains, stroller toy chains, keychain holders, backpack charms, Christmas tree ornaments, etc.
I first created the pattern of the moon Amigurumi for one of the faces of my Weather Baby Cube, but I’m planning many more accessories!
Depending on the yarn and hook you use, the size of your moon will vary greatly. I tried 4 different yarn and hook combinations, which you can see in the picture below, and I reported the size of each moon further below.

Raffaella I love this, so cute and cheerful. I especially love the one crocheted in blanket yarn, it looks so gorgeously squishy.
