Grace features a brand-new wing design! If you prefer one of the other wing designs you can access the patterns here:

• Wing Design 1 
• Wing Design 2

This Angel is crocheted with medium weight yarn and a 4 mm (G) hook. Like my other crochet Angels, she does not require stiffening to stand and can be crocheted in only a few short hours.

Grace has a streamlined and simple skirt with a ruffled hem.

This skirt design is like a blank canvas. You can easily add embroidered stitches or cross stitches to her skirt if you would like to add some color or personal touches.

Difficulty Level

EASY-INTERMEDIATE

Finished Size

6 inches tall (not including the halo), 5.25 inches wide when standing and measuring the diameter of the skirt 

Gauge

Not imperative but if your stitches have spaces between them that you can see through you need to go down a hook size (or two) until you are crocheting a more solid fabric.

You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern – just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size, and amount of yarn used for your project will also be different.

Notes

• This project is worked in continuous rounds. You will need to use a stitch marker so you do not lose your place.
• Do not slip stitch to join at the end of rounds unless specified.
• When you work the sc2tog decreases work under the front loop only (it makes the stitch less thick).
• The arm, wings and halo are worked in rows.

Options

• 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.
• Add a handmade paper (or plastic) cone under her skirt to help her stay in shape on the top of your Christmas Tree.

You are beginning at the top of the Angel’s head and working in continuous rounds to the base of the dress, all in one piece.

Using your 4 mm (G) hook (or size required for gauge):

R1: Work 6 sc in a DMR. [6 sc]

R2: 2 sc in each sc around. [12 sc]

R3: *2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the next st**. Rep from * to ** around. [18 sc]

R4-R6: 1 sc in each st around. [18 sc]

R7: *Sc2tog over the next 2 sts, 1 sc in the next st**. Rep from * to ** around. [12 sc]

I recommend you firmly stuff the head at this point.

R8: Sc2tog around. [6 sc]

R9: 1 FPsc in each st around. [6 FPsc]

R10: 1 sc and 1 FPsc in each st around. [6 sc, 6 FPsc]

R11: 1 sc in the first st, 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts. [14 sc]

R12: 1 sc in the first st, ch 3, sk 2 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, ch 3, sk 2 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts. [10 sc, 2 ch3sp]

R13: 1 sc in the first st, 1 sc in the bl of each of the next 3 chs, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, 1 sc in the bl of each of the next 3 chs, 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts [16 sc]

R14-R16: 1 sc in each st around. [16 sc]

R17: 1 sc in the back loop of each st around. [16 sc]

R18: *2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts**.  Rep from * to ** around. [20 sc]

R30: 1 hdc in the back loop of each st around. [40 hdc]

R31: 1 BPsc in each st around. Finish off. [40 BPsc]

R32: Rejoin your yarn in any rem front loop from R29 with a sl st. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc) and 2 more dc in the same front loop. 3 dc in each rem front loop around. Finish off. [120 dc]

Arms

Make 1.

The arm is created in one piece; worked flat and then seamed on the long edges with a slip stitch seam. Once the arm is complete you thread it through the openings on either side of the angel’s body, being sure to keep an equal amount of “arm” on each side. You can whipstitch these in place if you wish – I did not. I simply used 2 small stitches to attach the hands together in a “prayer” pose.

R1: Ch 21, beg in 2nd ch from hook and work 1 sc in each across, ch 1, turn [20]
R2: 1 sc in each st across, ch 1, turn [20]
R3: Rep R2, ch 1, turn [20]
Fold the rectangle in half (along row 2) and seam the long edges using a slip stitch seam. Finish off and weave in any remaining ends.

Wings

Make 2.

R1: Work ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in a DMR. Turn. [5 dc, ch2sp]

R2: Ch 4 (counts as 1 tr) and 2 tr in the first st, 2 dc in the next st, 3 hdc in the ch2sp, 1 hdc in the next st, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 sts. Ch 1, turn. [3 tr, 2 dc, 4 hdc, 2 sl st]
R3: Sk the first sl st, 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, 1 hdc in the next st, 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 tr in the next st and 1 dtr in the next st, sk the last st (the ch 4 at the beg of R2). Ch 1, turn. [1 dtr, 2 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 5 sc]
R4: 1 sl st in each st and around the row edge back to the DMR. Finish off. [15 sl st]

To attach the wings use a whip stitch and here is an image for placement:

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.

The image below is for my Crochet Angels Pattern but the Halo design is the same:
