Pattern Instructions
Head of the Angel
Start with a Magic Circle
- Inside the circle, work 12 double crochets (DC).
- Join with a slip stitch (SL ST) into the first DC stitch.
Increase the round
- Work 2 DC into each of the first 6 stitches, then turn your work.
- On the return row, work 2 DC into the same 6 stitches to create a total of 24 DC stitches.
Bottom of the Angel
Begin the base
- Chain (CH) 12 stitches, turn, and work 12 single crochets (SC) back across the chain.
Build the structure
- Turn your work and complete another row of single crochets.
- For the next three rows, decrease at each end to form a point.
Assembling the Angel
- Sew the head and bottom pieces together using a yarn needle.
- Optionally, embellish your angel with ribbon bows or stick-on jewels to add a personal festive touch.
