Moon Hills Crochet Pattern by Lois Floyd
What is Being Made
The Moon Hills crochet pattern creates a decorative piece measuring 20.5cm x 22cm. This intermediate-level design features a scenic composition worked in sport weight cotton yarn, making it suitable for wall hangings, framed artwork, or other decorative applications.
Crochet Techniques Used
The Moon Hills pattern employs multiple advanced crochet techniques to achieve its detailed design. The primary construction method uses single crochet stitches (US terminology) worked from a foundation chain, with the pattern beginning in the bottom right corner. To create the multi-colored landscape effect, the pattern incorporates two distinct color-work methods:
- Tapestry crochet – a technique where colors are carried through the work as you crochet, allowing for seamless color transitions without cutting yarn
- Intarsia crochet – an alternative method where colors are dropped and picked up again as needed, reducing bulk in the finished piece
Additionally, the pattern includes strategic yarn cutting and re-attachment in select areas, providing the designer with flexibility in color placement and texture variation.
Stitches and Pattern Structure
This pattern is constructed almost entirely from single crochet stitches (abbreviated as sc in US terms, equivalent to UK double crochet). The pattern is provided in two formats for crocheter preference: a written instruction format and a chart-based format. In the chart version, each individual square represents one single crochet stitch, making it easy to follow the color placement and design layout visually.
Materials and Yarn Weight
The Moon Hills pattern requires 7 skeins of sport weight cotton yarn in colors of your choice. The designer, Lois Floyd (logii), used DMC Natura just cotton yarn for the original sample, demonstrating the suitability of quality cotton for this decorative project. A 3.5mm crochet hook is used for construction.
While gauge is not critical for this decorative piece, working to the suggested gauge will produce a finished size of 20.5cm x 22cm, matching the designer's original dimensions. The sport weight yarn and single crochet construction create a fabric with good stitch definition, ideal for displaying the detailed color work in the Moon Hills design.
Difficulty Level and Pattern Format
Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern is best suited for crocheters with experience in basic stitches and color-work techniques. The downloadable PDF format provides convenient access to both written instructions and visual charts, allowing crafters to choose their preferred method of pattern reading.
