The pattern I designed for you today is a tabletop crochet angel ornament that can be displayed on your mantel, shelf, or table during the holidays. You can also add a piece of ribbon to her back (just above her wings) to hang her on your Christmas tree or add a small bell beneath her skirt for a festive touch.
My Crochet Angel is made with Red Heart Super Saver (medium weight) yarn. She’s worked from the top of her head down to the base of her skirt in continuous rounds. Once the dress is complete, you’ll add the sleeves, wings, optional arms, and halo.
This angel stands beautifully on her own and doesn’t require stiffening. Her halo is shaped with a thin bow wire I found at Michaels, which holds its form perfectly.
This pattern was originally shared as part of the Holiday Blog Hop 2016, a fun event that brought together crochet designers to share festive, handmade holiday patterns. The goal of the hop was to help crocheters find new creative projects to make and gift during the holiday season.
If you missed the event, don’t worry — you can still enjoy this free pattern anytime!

Angel Wings
- Make 2

R4: Ch 1, 1 sl st in each bl across. [23 sl st]
Finish off leaving a long tail.
- Now take one yarn end and thread it on a yarn needle.
- Weave the needle in and out of the inside stitches on the wing (see image below).
- Pull the yarn needle and tail all the way through and tighten to draw the stitches closer together. Weave back through once more to secure the end, then finish off. Repeat for the second wing.
- To attach the wings use a whipstitch and secure them like this:
Angel Arms
- Make 2
The Angel arms are optional.
R1: Ch 8, beg in 2nd ch from hook and work 1 sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn. [7]
R2: 1 sc in each st across. [7]
- Next we will work around the outside of the rectangle we just created. The image below shows what you have after completing R2.
- Rotate your work to continue across the edge of the rectangle (see image below) and work 2 sl st across the edge, one for each row.
- Fold in half lengthwise and slip stitch the two edges together and closed (see image below). [7]
- The next image shows the arm after you have worked the slip stitch seam (1 slip stitch in each stitch – through both layers) across.
- Next, you will insert the arm into the sleeve and pull it until only the ‘hand’ is sticking out. The hand is the edge that you made 2 slip stitches across, before you folded and seamed the arm closed.
Angel Halo
The halo is the only part of this project to use a different hook and thread. Please use the 2.25 mm (B) hook and the Gold Bowdabra Bow Wire. This is a thin piece of wire wrapped in gold metallic thread. I found mine at Michael’s in the ribbon section. It can stand on it’s own which is why I like it – and it is much thinner than pipe cleaner (which was what I had been considering).
I crocheted the halo like this:
- Ch 20, finish off leaving a tail of the bow wire.
- Now take the tail and thread it through the 7th chain from the opposite end.
- This will create the halo loop.
- Now twist (like a twist-tie) the two remaining ends together to make it straight and stiff.
- Take that one end (since you twisted them together you have one wire now) and thread it through the back of the angel’s head and down to the base of the neck before cutting off any of the excess wire.
- If you want to dab a bit of fabric glue in there to keep it in place you can.
Finishing Instructions
- Weave in any remaining ends.
- Decorating Options – easily stitch the hands together to make your angel ‘pray’ or give her something to hold in her hands.
- Add hair to her head if you’d like!
- Stitch a bell under her skirt, or add a ribbon to her back (above her wings) to make her an ornament for your tree.
This crochet Christmas angel pattern pairs beautifully with my other handmade angel crochet designs, making it easy to build a matching holiday set.
