Both US and UK crochet terminology throughout

Each panel is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops for a neat, ridged texture. The two sides are then joined to create a sturdy, reversible finish. The Luna moth motif is made using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colourwork is recommended.

Makers can choose to create two Luna moth panels for a fully patterned piece, or pair the motif with a single-colour textured panel for a simpler look. The sample potholder features one Luna moth with a navy background and the other with an off-white background for a coordinated, double-sided effect.

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

17 (Off White)

28 (Navy Blue)

21 (Light Mint Green)

35 (Vanilla)

60 (Mauve)

16 (White)

The pattern works well with any aran-weight cotton yarn (or similar) and is perfect for using up leftover yarn in your favourite night-sky and nature-inspired shades.
