Add a touch of night-time charm to your home with Among Moths and Moonlight – a bold design featuring an elegant Luna moth motif in soft, celestial shades. Inspired by the moth’s graceful twilight flight and long association with calm, reflection, and nature’s gentle rhythms, this pattern brings a peaceful, woodland–meets–moonlight feel to your handmade makes. Perfect for adventurous beginners and intermediate crocheters with some colourwork experience, it works beautifully as a dishcloth, washcloth, or decorative accent.

The pattern includes:

Fully written instructions and a clear, easy-to-follow chart

Step-by-step explanations of all stitches used

Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

The dishcloth is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops to create a soft, ridged texture. The Luna moth motif is created using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colourwork is recommended.

The sample was made using Drops Paris 100% Cotton in the following shades:

17 (Off White) or 28 (Navy Blue) for the background

21 (Light Mint Green)

35 (Vanilla)

60 (Mauve)

16 (White)

The pattern works well with any aran/worsted weight cotton yarn, making it a great project for using up leftovers in your favourite night-sky and nature-inspired shades.
