Round 2: Begin in the same sc as the join. Repeat five times. Join to the first sl st. You will have five points, each with a ch-2 tip, and five slip stitch valleys.
Fasten off and weave in the ends. Press the star flat with your fingers and pull gently at each ch-2 tip. Choose one point for the hanging connection.
3. Block and Assemble
- Dampen the moon and star. Lay the moon with the opening facing right. Pin the inner curve first, then ease the outer edge into a smooth arc and pin both tips. Pin the five star points and let both pieces dry.
- For the star connector, make a blue chain about 2–3 cm long and leave a sewing tail at each end. Sew one end through the star’s top ch-2 space. Sew the other end to the inside edge of the upper horn, a few stitches back from its tip.
- Hold up the moon and check that the star clears the inner edge. Shorten the connector if the star touches the bottom horn.
- For the hanging loop, make a separate blue chain about 10–12 cm long, leaving tails. Fold the chain into a loop and temporarily pin the ends together near the upper shoulder. Lift the ornament, move the attachment point until the crescent hangs with its opening to the right, then stitch both ends securely through several loops on the back.
Finishing Tips
If the moon cups, loosen the outer slip stitches and block the crescent again. If the foundation edge is too tight to curve smoothly, remake the starting chain with a slightly larger hook. To adjust the star’s scale, use a smaller hook and finer ivory yarn.

For another flat motif to hang or add to a gift, try the five-point star or the crochet snowflake.
