 Introduction
The Christmas Angel Pattern provides instructions for crocheting an elegant
angel. She has two large wings, a small and delicate waist, and a beautiful
bell-shaped dress. This angel makes for a lovely gift or décor in the home.
You can customize her in a variety of ways by changing her hair and dress
colors or styles. You may also add embellishments, such as beads in her
dress, flower appliques in her hair, and more!

NOTE: This pattern is written with the joining method, where each row begins with
a “ch 1” and ends with a join by a “sl st to the first st”. This keeps the rows even
and leveled. However, if you’d prefer to work in continuous rounds for a seamless
doll, you may do so as well by simply ignoring the “ch 1” and “join” instructions.

♡ Happy Crocheting! ♡

 Written Directions for Finishing

1. Stuff the hair bun lightly.

2. Position the hair bun over R3 of the hair cap. The stitches should match up,
as R3 of the hair cap = 18 sts, and the opening of the hair bun = 18 sts.
Using a yarn needle and the yarn tail from the hair bun, sew it securely
onto the hair cap.

3. Sew the doll’s arms to the body using a yarn needle and the yarn tails from
the arms.

4. Position the two wings back-to-back. Join them together by sewing the
bottom 5 stitches together.

5. Position the joined wings in the middle of the doll’s back, above her dress.
Sew it securely onto the doll’s back.

6. Sew the hair cap onto the doll’s head. Sew some bangs, or fringe, one
strand at a time on the doll’s head for a more natural look.
Optional: Add embellishment (e.g., flower, applique) onto the doll’s hair.
