Moon Landing

This little astronaut has taken a giant leap onto a moon base. You can make this as a decorative piece, or even add a weight such as dried rice inside the moon to make a paperweight for your desk. This would make a super thank you gift for a science teacher. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this toy is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The astronaut’s collar is a single crochet chain worked on the crochet hook. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
