Before You Begin: A Few Tips
Swatch first!
A sneaky little ghost called “crochet tension” can haunt your finished piece if you don’t test it first. Make your swatches before you start – it’s super simple and here’s how!

#MoonlightMagicCAL – Part 1: Moon & Clouds
Updated: September 3, 2025
Let’s get this magical wreath started! In Part 1, we’ll ease into the project by making the soft, moody moon and clouds, the perfect beginning to set the Halloween scene. 🌙☁️
You’ll be working in rounds, starting with a classic magic ring. You’ll also try holding two strands together for a plush effect and shaping your pieces with clever skipped stitches.
#MoonlightMagicCAL – Part 2: Cat Head
Updated: September 10, 2025
Things are getting very magical... and just a little tricky! But trust us, you’re going to love this part:
This week, you’ll shape the head of a certain mischievous Halloween guest. 🐾 You’ll be working with black yarn, a small hook, and lots of shaping using single crochet stitches, increases, and decreases to sculpt a 3D amigurumi head.
This part is the most challenging, but totally worth it once you see your spooky new friend come to life! 😻
