Crafty Lady Sandi Christmas Angel

Hi! Crafters!

Since I now have delivered 31 angels for my doctor and sold everything except the angels on that I am selling on my ioffer site at www.sanditipple.ioffer.com. Now, I can give out the directions for my Christmas Angel. You do not need to use the colors I have done. Be creative! Only tip I can give you is the wings should be a different color than the skirt. I give the angel that extra jazz, especial if you use the Pipsqueak yarn as a ruffle.

FYI: I am not a writer or technical writer; just an individual who love to crochet.

I never fully did my own directions please let me know if there is a question or if you do not understand what I mean or anything at sandi_tipple@yahoo.com. I will do my best answering you questions.

Crafty Lady Sandi Christmas Angel

Materials; White or Blue or Green or Red, Red or green Metallic yarn, or Christmas yarn, White Pipsqueak yarn, H hook, Scissors, 3 or 4 inch ring, 2 Stitch markers

Abbreviations:

DC double crochet, ST stitch, CH. Chain stitch, SL ST Slip stitch

Directions:

Wings section:

Variations; White wings or Blue wings or Green wings

With H hook and yarn variation of your choose.

Take one ring and start at the 7 o’clock position on the ring.

Row 1: Attach yarn with a SL ST and begin SC around the ring. Attach with a SL ST to first CH

Row 2: 2 SC in next 11 SC, CH 3, and turn.

Row 3: DC in same ST as joining, 2 DC in each DC across, CH 3, turn.

Row 4: DC in same as joining, *DC in next dc, 2 DC in next DC*, Repeat from *, CH 3, turn.

Row 5: Dc in same ST as joining, DC in each DC across, CH 3, turn.

Row 6: Repeat Row 5.

Fasten OFF.

Skirt section:

Count 11 DC on each end. Place a stitch marker on each end after you count in 12 DC.

Use the color of your choice to make skirt and an H hook.

FYI: I like to work in tails as you go.

Row 1: SL ST in DC after stitch marker and CH 3, DC in each of the DC up to the stitch marker on the other end, turn.

Row 2: CH 3, DC in space where you did the CH stitch, 2 DC in each DC across, turn.

Row 3: CH 3, DC in each DC across, turn.

Row 4: Repeat Row 3.

Ruffle section:

You can use the pipsqueak yarn and H hook.

Some I continued with the same as with the skirt. It depends on you. Again I work the tails in as I go.

Row 1: CH 3, DC in each DC across.

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

NOTE: if you do not want the flare of the ruffle with the pipsqueak yarn or it hard for you to work with the yarn. I know it takes time to get used to it. Just continue with color as the skirt or use the white yarn to finish the angel.

I hope you enjoy this free pattern.
