This was a fun free hand knit that I made for my son. I’ve posted the pattern on my blog if you would like to have ago at making your own Moon.

A few notes on the pattern.
I’ve used a chunky Rowan cotton yarn but knitted it up on 4.5mm needles to make it a really solid construction. For the craters I split the yarn in 2, but you can always use a similar colour in a finer ply.

The Yarn I used is Rowan, ‘All Seasons’ which is now unfortunately discontinued, but the tension is: 7mm needles (as the wool band states), 11st/ 16rows for a 10cm/ 4inch square. On 4.5mm needles (As pattern State) it’s: 18st/ 22rows.

It can be found on my blog:

Please take the yarnage with a pinch of salt I was not calculating as I went but It’s less than half a ball.
