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! 😻

#MoonlightMagicCAL – Part 3: Sky & Bats

Updated: September 17, 2025

We’re taking to the skies! 🌙✨ In this week’s part, you’ll shape the whimsical night sky and a couple of fluttery friends. Expect a mix of slip stitches and clever shaping to form this dimensional background element.

It’s a little break from amigurumi heads and tiny details – and a great chance to let your mohair yarn shine! 🌌
