Cute Crochet Moon Cake Pattern for Holiday Joy

The video guides you step by step, showing how a simple circle of yarn gradually turns into a cheerful miniature treat.
As the rounds build, the top gains a gentle raised shape that makes it feel extra special and satisfying to touch.

Its compact size means it’s easy to carry around, hang as a tiny decoration, or even use as a playful practice piece for new crochet skills.

Seeing the round shape form little by little is rewarding, and finishing it gives a real sense of accomplishment.
Crochet Moon Cake
Materials
Yarn: Milk Cotton yarn (50g) in your chosen flavor/color (green used in the video for a pandan/matcha look).
Hook: 2.5 mm crochet hook.
Stuffing: Synthetic fiberfill.
Adhesive: Hot glue gun (for attaching the top floral pattern).
Tools: Tapestry needle and scissors.
Special Features
Scalloped Edging: The project uses a combination of skipped stitches and 5-double-crochet clusters to create the "flower" shape of the cake’s outer shell.
3D Texture: By working in Back Loops Only (BLO) and Front Loops Only (FLO) at specific stages, the cake achieves sharp, realistic edges between the top, sides, and bottom.
Separate Ornamental Top: The intricate "stamp" pattern is crocheted separately as a nine-petaled flower and then glued on, giving it a raised, embossed effect.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the base circles are simple, the sides involve specific stitches (FLO, BLO) and the top pattern requires working with chains and clusters into specific loops. Assembling the two halves while stuffing also requires neat stitching.
Tutor’s Suggestions
Edge Definition: The tutor emphasizes using BLO/FLO to make the transition from the top to the sides look sharp, just like a real molded cake.
Symmetry: Ensure both top and bottom bases are identical in stitch count so the scalloped edges align when you sew them together.
Uses
Home Decor: Perfect as a seasonal ornament for Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.
Play Food: Makes a safe and durable addition to a child's play kitchen.
Keychains: If made with thinner yarn, this pattern can be scaled down for a cute bag accessory.
Conclusion
This Crochet Mooncake is a beautiful example of how amigurumi techniques can mimic real-world textures and traditions. The combination of the wavy edges and the glued-on ornamental top makes for a professional finish that is both satisfying to make and lovely to display.
Tip: When sewing the top to the body, align the "shells" of the top scalloped edge with the side wall increases. This ensures the cake doesn't look twisted once it is fully stuffed and closed.
