Littlest Crochet Angel – Free Pattern
Little Crochet Angel Pattern Description:
Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook (appropriate size for your chosen yarn)
- Yarn (typically white or cream for the angel’s body and other colors for accents)
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Abbreviations:
- ch: chain
- st(s): stitch(es)
- sc: single crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- dc: double crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
Instructions:
Body:
- Begin with a magic ring or ch 2 and work into the second ch from the hook.
- Work a certain number of sc into the magic ring or second ch to form a circle, and then pull the ring tight. This will be the top of the angel’s head.
- Continue working in rounds, increasing the number of stitches in each round to create a slight bell shape for the body. This can be achieved by adding extra stitches evenly spaced around the circle.
Arms:
- Choose where you want the arms to be and attach your yarn at that point.
- Work a few ch stitches (usually 4-6), and then attach them back to the body with a sl st to create the arm. You can then work sc, hdc, or other stitches on these ch stitches to form the arm.
Wings:
- Start with a certain number of ch stitches.
- Work a combination of dc, hdc, and sc stitches into the ch stitches to create the wing shape. You can experiment with different stitch combinations to achieve the desired look.
Halo:
- Attach a contrasting color of yarn to the top of the angel’s head.
- Work a ch or a short row of sc stitches to form the halo.
Finishing:
- Fill the body of the angel with fiberfill stuffing to give it a 3D shape.
- Weave in any loose yarn ends using a yarn needle.
- If desired, you can add additional embellishments like a ribbon bow, a small crochet heart, or a tiny musical instrument in the angel’s hands.
