Crocheting Christmas Baubles is not tricky, and the color combinations are up to you. You can hide them in a box for next year and always have a beautiful and original Christmas tree decoration at hand.

If you are a beginner and don’t dare to crochet like this, try crocheting a simple chain, wrapping it around, and sticking it on a ball.

Crochet Angel

The Little Angel Pattern is crocheted using medium-weight yarn, starting at the top of her head and working in continuous rounds down to the base of her skirt.

You will attach the two wings to the back of her dress using simple whip stitches at the end. Crochet the ‘arm’ and insert it through the small holes in her dress created by following the crocheting instructions.

Slip the crocheted halo between the stitches at the back of her head. This Angel can stand independently and does not need to be ‘stiffened.’

Her halo is designed with a thin bow wire, which can be purchased in any craft store, so it holds its shape and stays in place easily.

What you will need:

• Yarn – medium weight
• Hook – 4.0 mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Cotton balls for her head
• Thin wire for the HALO + 2.25 mm hook for the HALO
