Hello, my friend!

I am incredibly happy to see you! Maybe you've already

read my previous message to you in my first Cuddly

Nessie Monster pattern-learning. But if not, I am glad to

meet you for the first time!

I really want us to make this world more magical
together! That's why I created this additional pattern to
the main Nessie’s pattern-learning. And I called this
addition very simply - Moon & Star.

I want to note that this is not full pattern on how to create

Nessie Monster! This is an addition to my main first

pattern-learning!

(By the way, the pattern-learning is also in my Etsy)

Here I will share with you how I create two Nessie

designs: Lunar and Starry. Specifically, we will learn how
to crochet two options for Nessie's tail. I will also share
felt patterns and show you how to create them!
So which Nessie design would you choose? I suggest you

do both! And more of them! This world just needs more

Nessie to hug! I believe in you!

SO, ARE YOU READY TO GO AGAIN

ON ANOTHER JOURNEY OF CROCHETING TOGETHER?
 WHAT WILL BE IN THIS ADDITION TO THE PATTERN?

 MATERIALS

1. Hooks: 4.5 - for

crocheting all the

details and 2.5 - to

hide the ends of yarn
in all details.
2. Any yellow plush
yarn. I use - Himalaya

Dolphin Baby (100

g/120m) and Popyarn

Velvet (100 g/120m).

3. Hollow fiber
(stuffing for toys).

4. Sharp scissors for cutting out felt details and one more

scissors for other processes.

5. Yellow felt for star and moon details (at least 2 sheets
of felt in A4 format). And one sheet of grey felt for moon

phases.
6. Yellow thread for felt details.

7. A few сontrasting threads (to mark the beginning of

the row and to see the shape of the Monster) and/or just

a simple crochet marker.

8. Tapestry needle for sewing all the crocheted details.

9. Small needle for sewing felt details for your future
Nessie.
10. Washable marker - for transferring patterns of stars
and moon phases onto felt.

11. Cardboard - for printing or drawing patterns of stars

and moon phases.

How to crochet the PERFECT Star?

IMPORTANT

I was crocheting this star, so I came up with this idea.

That's why there will be a lot of text description, photos

and some videos here, because I want to explain

everything in detail. Here you can see the whole process

of crocheting the star - https://youtu.be/N39apwy2WJE).

You can do it now. Or later by reading the description of

crocheting a star. And in any case, you can watch this
video at any time. Because with this video, I hope,

everything will be clearer!

Start crocheting with rays for a star

Ray for a star (make 5 details)
1 row: 2 ch, in the second chain from the hook - 6 sc (6)

or
1 row: 6 sc in mr (6)

IMPORTANT
I do it this way because it's more comfortable for me. You
can do it the way you know how to crochet. But from
now in the pattern I will write like this - 2 ch, in the
second chain from the hook … sc. BUT it’s the same that
… sc in mr.

So here we put a thread of a contrasting color (next -

thread-marker) to mark the beginning of the row.

2 row: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (9)

3 row: (2 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (12)

4 row: (3 sc, 1 inc) x 3 (15)
ATTENTION
With four rays, we do this:
Cut the thread. Hide the end of the thread inside the
detail.
On fifth ray - we do NOT cut the thread.
And continue crocheting on the fifth detail (photos of
these processes on the next page):
5 row: crochet on the fifth ray - 7 sc (7)
6 row: Now we're going to attach all the rays together.

Attach the fifth detail to the other detail with 1 sc (we

crochet the first sc into the last loop that we crocheted on
the ray that we will attach). Put a marker for the
beginning of the row here. Now crochet 6 more sc on the
same detail. Attach the next ray with 1 sc. And then 6
more sc on the same ray. Again attach the next ray with
1 sc. And then 6 more sc on the same detail. This is the
fourth ray. Now we attach the last ray in the same way
with 1 sc. And then 6 more sc on this detail (35)
7 row: Now we need to connect all the rays together (it

will look like a circle of rays) (photos of these processes

bellow).
HOW?

Count 7 sc on the ray and put marker here, then crochet

1 sc. This was the first sc in this row. Next, crochet 4 more
sc and make 1 dec. And then - (5 sc, 1 dec) x 4 (30)

8 row: 2 sc, 1 dec, (4 sc, 1 dec) x 4, 2 sc (25)

9 row: (3 sc, 1 dec) x 5 (20)

10 row: 1 sc, 1 dec, (2 sc, 1 dec) x 4, 1 sc (15)

11 row: (1 sc, 1 dec) x 5 (10)

Cut the thread. Close with flo, hide the loose ends on the
opposite side of the star and fasten the thread.
 ATTENTION

Don't forget to fasten all the threads from the star rays
inside.

Now we start crocheting on the other side of the star.

1 row: Put a marker on the place where we will attach the

thread. And attach the thread. Make 1 ch. Then 1 sc in the

same loop, then 7 sc in the next 7 loops on this ray. And
so on for each ray we crochet 8 sc (40)
Do not forget to fasten thread that we are attach.
2 row: crochet 1 sc to connect the last ray and the first

one ray. This will be the first sc of this row, then 2 sc,
1 dec, (6 sc, 1 dec) x 4, 3 sc (35)

3 row: (5 sc, 1 dec) x 5 (30)

4 row: (3 sc, 1 dec) x 6 (24)

Fill the star with stuffing. Do not fill a star completely.
5 row: (1 sc, 1 dec) x 8 (16)
6 row: 8 dec (8)
Fill the star with stuffing fully.

Cutting the thread. But leave a very long tail! Why? I'll tell
you in a moment! Close with flo, fasten the thread.
SO now we need close between the rays of our star! Put
the needle between any of the holes between the rays.
Close as you want. Tighten it up. And sew each next hole
between the rays of the star in the same way. Tighten.
Fasten the thread. And hide the loose ends inside the
star!
This is what the star we created with you looks like!
 Felt stars

How to create?

STEP ONE
Printing out the pattern of felt stars (here you can
draw your own star details any sizes you want). You can
print it on the next page (pattern below).
STEP TWO
Сut out star patterns from cardboard.
STEP THREE
Outline star of different sizes with a washable marker as

many sizes as you want. I made the 2 large stars and

5 stars of other sizes each.
STEP FOUR
Cut out felt stars with sharp scissors.
STEP FIVE
Wash the felt stars from the washable marker.
STEP SIX
Put it on a towel to dry the felt. I leave the stars to dry in

the sun.

STEP SEVEN
When the stars are dry, I iron them a little.

STEP EIGHT
Attach our stars with sewing pins on the crocheted body

of your Nessie Monster. Sew them on one by one.

NOW YOUR NESSIE IS LIKE A STARRY SKY!

Let's crochet the Moon together

1 row: 8 sc (8)

So here we put a thread-marker to mark the beginning of

the row.

2 row: 8 inc (16)

3 row: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (24)

4 row: (2 sc, 1 inc) x 8 (32)
5 row: (1 sc, 1 inc) x 16 (48)

We stretch our detail a little bit to make it more flat.

BEFORE AND AFTER stretching the detail

6 row: (3 sc, 1 inc) x 12 (60)

7 row: (3 sc, 1 inc) x 15 (75)

We stretch our detail a little bit again to make it more flat.
Fold the detail in half and crochet 37 or 38 sc across to
close the moon.
HOW?
Hook in the first loop and the last loop. This is the first sc.
Next, hook into the second loop and before the last loop.
This is the second sc. And so on with all loops.
In the middle of the process of crocheting our moon in
half, we fill it with stuffing. We don't fill it completely. We
continue to crochet our moon in half almost to the end.
And fill it again, but to the fullest.

In total, there should be 37 or 38 sc that will crochet the

moon in half. Pull out thread! Fasten. Hide the loose
ends.
Look at the moon we created!
 Felt Moon phases

How to create?

STEP ONE
Printing out the pattern of felt moon phases (here you
can draw your own moon phases details any sizes you
want). You can print on the next page.

↓↓ ↓ THE PATTERN BELOW ↓ ↓ ↓

STEP TWO
Сut out moon phases patterns from cardboard.
STEP THREE
Outline the following quantity (photo bellow) of gray and

yellow details.

STEP FOUR
Cut out felt details with sharp scissors.
STEP FIVE
Wash the felt details from the washable marker.
STEP SIX
Put it on a towel to dry the felt. I always leave all the felt

details to dry in the sun.

STEP SEVEN
When the details are dry, I iron them a little.
STEP EIGHT
Sew yellow felt to gray and gray to yellow like this one

(video of sewing process here -

https://youtu.be/2EwiuDaHJDE). Sew all the details with

yellow thread. Don't forget to fasten the thread on each

detail. Leave the end of the yellow thread to sew each

moon phase to your future Nessie Monster.

STEP NINE

Attach our moon phases with sewing pins (please watch

this short video -

https://youtube.com/shorts/_EDn0CqoM9A).
You may place the moon phases as shown in the photo.

But you may attach the moon phases on both sides of

your Monster as you wish. Sew them on one by one.
