A simple crochet angel ornament made from basic geometric shapes (circle and a cut off triangle) and using only basic crochet stitches. This is a beginner friendly crochet Christmas decoration project.

Note!

A great benefit of this pattern is the adjustment of the size that you want. With my 3mm crochet hook and cotton DK yarn the angel is about 8cm tall and the wing span is also 8cm.

If you want a smaller or a bigger angel you have two options:

• take thicker or thinner yarn / wool and a bigger or smaller crochet hook
• make the base of the body longer (do more chains and continue with a decreases in every 3rd row - after R7) or shorter (do less chains). For the head and the wings you can do more or less rows of increasing the base of 6 stitches

For the crochet angel ornament I made I took a base of 13 chains for the body. The body is worked bottom to top.

You have to make 2 parts for the body (front and back), 2 parts for the head (front and back) and two parts for the wing (each folded in half you get a left and a right wing).

The stitches used in this pattern for angel ornament are:

• magic ring
• sl st - slip stitch
• ch - chain stitch
• sc - single crochet stitch
• dec - sc decrease stitch (join 2sc in 1 - back loops only)
• inc - sc increase stitch (make 2sc in 1)

The patterns for the parts:

• ch1, dec, 5sc, dec
• ch1, 7sc

To make a nice edge of the body part crochet single crochet stitches in each last stitch of the row all the way around the body of the angel. In the corner make 3 single crochet stitches in one - just to turn it. You only have to do this on the side and bottom edges.
