Method
1. Angel Head
Work a small amigurumi-style head in beige yarn using single crochet stitches in continuous rounds. Increase gradually to form the round shape, lightly stuff, then decrease to close the head.
Add safety eyes, a small embroidered nose and smiling mouth, then create curly hair around the head with beige yarn.
2. Santa Hat
Using red yarn, crochet the hat from the top downward in joined or continuous rounds. Increase gradually to create the cone shape. Finish with a white crocheted brim and a small white pom-pom.
3. Angel Body
Crochet the dress in red yarn, beginning at the neckline and increasing evenly to create the flared skirt. Add a white decorative border around the bottom edge.
Make two small arms in beige yarn and attach them to the front of the dress. Add a small white bow around the neckline.
4. Wings
Crochet two matching wings in cream yarn using chain stitches and openwork crochet stitches. Shape each wing into a curved pointed form and securely attach them behind the angel.
5. Spiral Decoration
Create two long openwork crochet strips, one red and one cream. Use chain stitches and evenly spaced crochet stitches to form the lacy pattern. Twist the two strips together into a graceful spiral.
6. Decorative Motifs
Crochet:
- One cream star
- One red heart
- One cream snowflake
Attach each motif to the center of the spiral at different levels.
7. Assembly
Attach the angel to the top of the spiral. Secure the wooden hanging ring above the angel with red yarn.
Connect the spiral sections vertically and reinforce all joins so the ornament hangs straight.
8. Finishing
At the bottom, attach a white bead followed by a small red bell. Weave in and hide all yarn ends.
Final Result
A beautiful Christmas crochet angel hanging ornament featuring a red-and-white angel, delicate wings, intertwined red-and-cream spirals, a star, heart, snowflake, wooden hanging ring, bead, and bell.
