crescent-shaped region mapping

how I can construct a conformal map from the region between
the circles D(1,1) and D(2,2) to D(0,1)
If I just pick some points on the boundary of
D(2,2), I'll end up mapping D(2,2) onto D(0,1), which is not what I want.
I'm not sure how you do this. The Riemann mapping theorem doesn't apply because the region
I'm trying to map to D(0,1) isn't simply connected. I don't think an LFT can work either,
because an LFT will have to take the boundary of
D(0,1) to the boundary of the original region--
that's impossible because the boundary isn't connected.
So, this is my PROBLEM ...
Thanks in advance

Actually that region is simply connected. The point 0 does not lie in the region, so there is no loop in the region which goes around the hole. The boundary is also connected; its two circles meeting at a point, and it can be parameterized by a single curve.
As far as actually constructing the mapping, I'm terrible at these things. I have a table of important types of conformal maps that I use to try and transform one region into the other.
You won't find a single linear fractional transformation that does the trick; however, you might be able to first apply a LFT that simplifies the region, then compose it with other things to get to a disk.

There is an FLT taking your region to { z : |z| > 1, Re z < 1 }. If the conformal map doesn't have to be injective, you can just square and invert. But otherwise, I dunno. There is a variation of Schwarz-Christoffel for circular-arc polygons (for example, in this book) but it looks like it's given as a differential equation. I would expect there to be something more explicit in this case though.
On second thought, it's actually pretty simple : just invert and you get a strip!
