During a partial lunar eclipse (or during the early or late stages of a total lunar eclipse) this can happen. However, we normally see the "crescent moon" a few days before and after the New Moon, because the bulk of the Moon is still in the dark and only a narrow sliver is in the sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
What causes the moon to wax and wane when it is going from a crescent to full moon and back to a crescent?
It's the earth shadow
What causes the change in the appearance of the Crescent moon?
The changing appearance of the crescent moon is due to the changing positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun in relation to each other. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the angle between the Earth, Moon, and Sun changes, causing different portions of the Moon to be illuminated by the sunlight. This results in the different phases of the moon, including the crescent moon.
What causes the moon to go from crescent to full moon?
It is a shodow from the earth.

The shadow is caused by the earth blocking the path of the light from the sun casting shadow on the moon. When the earth is not in between the sun and the moon then we have a "full moon."
What causes eclipses of the moon?
