Notes

I made crochet moon granny squares with new skeins, but scrap yarn works if you're only making a few—they don't use much yarn.
The pattern is simple and beginner-friendly.
The finished squares are about 6 inches; for a smaller size, omit the last round or the single crochet round for squaring off the moon.

Instructions

This pattern is made in the round.
Round 1: With the blue yarn, make a mr, next ch x2 and then dc x12 into the mr, sl st to first dc (12). If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 4, slip stitch it together, and then in the newly formed circle, ch x2 and dc x12 in the hole, then sl st to first dc. (12)
Round 2: Ch x2, inc in every dc, sl st to first dc. (24) Then change the color to white, don't fasten off the blue yarn just carry it underneath the white stitches.
Round 3: Ch x1 and then sc inc, sc, sc inc in blue.
Then change the color to white, don't fasten off the blue yarn just carry it underneath the white stitches.
With the white yarn, make the following sequence of stitches for the moon:
Sc, sc inc, hdc, hdc inc, dc, dc inc, tr, tr inc, tr, extended tr inc, tr, tr inc, tr, dc inc, dc, hdc inc, hdc, sc inc, sc.
Fasten off the white and switch the color back to navy.

With the blue yarn:

Sc inc, sc and then sl st to the first sc in the round (skip the chain).
Round 4: Ch x2, dc in the next 4 stitches, then make a (dc + tr + ch + tr + dc) in the next stitch. This is the first corner and is made in the first white stitch of the last round.
In the next 8 stitches make: dc, hdc x2, sc x4, hdc
Make the second corner: (dc + tr + ch + tr + dc) in the next stitch.
In the next 8 stitches make: hdc, sc, sl st x4, sc, hdc
Make the third corner: (dc + tr + ch + tr + dc) in the next stitch.
In the next 8 stitches make: hdc, sc x4, hdc x2, dc

Make the fourth corner: (dc + tr + ch + tr + dc) in the next stitch.
Dc in each of the next 4 stitches.
Sl st to 1st dc top in the round.
Round 5: Ch x2, then dc in the next couple of stitches. When you get to the chain space in the corner make a dc inc + ch x2 + dc inc. Then dc the side of the square (12 per side without the corners). Repeat 3 more times for the rest of the round.
Once you make the last dc in the round, sl st to the first dc. Then fasten off the yarn and switch the color to turqua.
Round 6 (optional): Ch x1, then sc then entire round and make 3 sc in each corner. Sl st to the first sc in the round when you get to the end.

Weave in any ends.

Now you have a finished moon granny square pattern, perfect for any celestial crochet project!
