Yarn - Choose yarn from the recommended ones or your favorite toy yarn.

I chose leftover yarns that I like to use for toys:

Terezka: 50 g / 155m / 100% cotton

Johanka: 50 g / 160 m / 45 % acrylic + 55 % cotton

Alize Bella or Alize Bella Batic: 100g / 360 m / 100 % cotton

For the bottom edge:

Rachel: 100 g / 100 m / 100 % polyester

Fancy yarn, chenille, soft velvet yarn for winter projects and also great for toy

You choose the colors you like for these parts:

Head and body (crocheted in one piece) - one color or "rainbow" yarn (color A)
Bottom edge - white (color B)
Winds - white, silver, golden (C color)

For this pattern you will need 2.5 mm crochet hook.
Scissors
Sewing/Embroidery and yarn needle/tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
Markers
Stuffing

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet terms:

SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SC - single crochet
sc2tog - 2 single crochet decrease, 2sc together
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP – repeat

SC2TOG = 2 single crochets together

Special stitches used:
Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog)

A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.

1. Insert hook into the first stitch.
2. Yarn over and draw through the loop.
3. Do not complete the stitch as normal.
4. Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.
5. Yarn over and draw through the loop.
6. There should now be three loops on your hook
7. Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook
8. You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn and sewing parts together with a sewing needle.

PATTERN NOTES

1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.

3) Continuous spiral rounds - which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) The ANGELis crocheted in these parts using single crochet stitches:

HEAD+BODY as a one piece
WINGS

6) This CROCHET ANGELmeasures

6 cm / 2.3 inch high
6 cm / 2.3 inch wide

The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).

*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.

7) You can make the CUTE LITTLE ANGEL bigger with a thicker yarn or smaller with a thinner yarn.

8) There is some sewing: you will sew the wings on the back. This is easy to do, there are no tricks.
