Material List Yarns: For the Body and Wings: Cream / ivory cotton macramé yarn or medium-weight (Sport/DK) cotton amigurumi yarn. For the Hat: Dark forest green cotton yarn. For the Pom-pom on Top of the Hat: Red cotton yarn. Wooden Beads (Unfinished/Natural Wood): For the Head: Large pre-drilled wooden bead (approx. 20–25 mm). For the Hands and Feet: 4 small wooden beads (approx. 10–12 mm). Other Materials: Crochet hook matching your yarn weight (typically 2.0 mm – 2.5 mm). Tapestry needle (for sewing parts together). Thin string or ribbon for hanging. Fine black yarn or black acrylic paint / red marker (for facial details and blush). ???? Pattern and Stitch Instructions 1. The Head (Wooden Bead) The large wooden bead is used directly as the angel's head. Using a fine black yarn or a needle, embroider the eyes, eyebrows, and a smiling mouth. A touch of pink or red paint/pastel can be applied for the cheeks.
2. The Hat (Green Body and White Brim) The hat is worked top-down starting with a magic ring: Magic Ring: With green yarn, make a magic ring and work 3 single crochets (sc) or 3 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Rounds & Increases: Increase evenly in each round to form a triangle/cone shape (e.g., Round 2: 5 stitches, Round 3: 7–8 stitches, increasing evenly until it fits the head size, about 5–6 rounds total). Fasten off. White Brim: Attach white/cream yarn to the bottom edge of the hat and work single crochets or tiny textured stitches to create a fluffy fur-like trim. Top Pom-pom: Make a small magic ring with red yarn, work 5–6 single crochets to form a tiny ball, and sew it to the top of the hat. 3. Wings and Dress (Lace Fan Motif) The piece that forms both the angel's dress and wings is crocheted using a layered lace technique: Center Ring (Magic Ring): With cream yarn, make a magic ring, chain 3, and work 10–12 double crochets (dc) into the ring, pulling it tight to close. Second Round (Fan Edges): In the next round, work (1 single crochet, chains in between, or a fan motif of 4–5 double crochets in the same stitch) over each double crochet or into the spaces to create the wavy, lace-like skirt and wing form. 4. Legs and Arms Legs: Using cream yarn, chain about 15–20 chains to make a cord. Thread a small wooden bead onto each end and knot securely. Arms: Similar to the legs, make shorter chains (about 8–10 chains) and secure a small wooden bead at each end.
???? Assembly Instructions Joining the Body and Head: Pass a strong thread or yarn through the exact center magic ring of your lace/wing motif. Thread this yarn up through the bottom hole of the large wooden bead head and out through the top hole to secure the head to the body. Leave a loop at the top to serve as the hanging loop for the Christmas tree. Attaching the Hat: Place the green cone hat onto the wooden bead head and secure it to the head using hidden stitches around the white brim. Attaching the Arms and Legs: Sew the small-beaded arms to the back corners of the wings so the angel looks like it is holding something. Sew the legs symmetrically to the back of the bottom lace body, allowing them to dangle freely. Final Touches: Weave in and trim all loose yarn ends. Check the hanging loop on top of the hat, and your angel is ready to be hung on your Christmas tree!
