It will soon be Singapore's 53rd birthday, and a chance to struck another off my crochet bucket list.
I couldn't find any patterns online, so I thought to look for patterns for moon and stars appliques instead. And work up a piece using Tunisian crochet based on the size of the appliques. I really had a great time doing this. Tunisian crocheting is exceptionally therapeutic.

I also made a crochet-along kinda video.
It was much smaller than actual ratio. I'm still pretty proud of this piece. 😊
As proud as I am a Singaporean.
Happy Birthday Singapore!
