Not Just for Halloween!

This Moon Phases Wall Hanging is a beautiful decoration for Samhain / Halloween, and also for the rest of the year! Display it on a wall or door, or use it as a table runner or altar cloth. Hang it in a window to cast lunar shadows as light filters through the filet crochet mesh.

Abbreviations used

This pattern uses US terms.

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• edc = extended double crochet (see Special Stitches)
• RS = right side
• sc = single crochet
• sk = skip
• sl st = slip stitch
• sp = space
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• yo = yarn over

Recommended Resources

• How to Crochet Without a Slip Knot
• Basic Filet Crochet (see note below)

Note: The Basic Filet Crochet tutorial has some differences from this pattern, but is a great general foundation in the technique. That tutorial uses dc instead of edc. It also defines a “beginning mesh” which is a mesh with an extra dc. Here the starting edc is written separately. Finally, it shows working into chain spaces whereas this pattern works into each chain.
