Crochet angel looks decent on any Christmas tree. In many Western countries, such decorative elements have been used for a long time, and now domestic craftswomen have the opportunity to actively participate in decorating the house. It should be noted that openwork angels can be attached not only to spruce branches, but also to curtain rods, chandeliers, stair railings and anywhere else.

In addition, a crochet angel is not only a Christmas decoration. It easily transforms into a fairy and becomes a versatile decor, especially for children's rooms and holidays.

Which materials are suitable for making angels

The most common yarn for knitting such jewelry is cotton. This choice is justified by many factors:

• The thread is very strong, even when very thin.
• It does not fluff or delaminate (especially mercerized cotton).
• It has a beautiful tight twist thatgives a clear three-dimensional texture to the knitted fabric.

It may seem that the described qualities of the yarn are not particularly important for making decor. However, this is not the case: a thick and loose thread will nullify all efforts, since the crochet angel will look untidy and rude. Its openwork patterns can be smeared, so that the result will not bring the craftswoman any pleasure, except for the realization that she managed to save money.

The optimal thickness of the thread used is in the range of 550-650 m/100 grams. The hook should also be used thin: No. 0, 9 or No. 1.

Types of knitted angels

There are a very large number of options for crochet angels. There are several simple popular schemes that most craftswomen use, but some prefer to develop an independent project.

It can not be said that this is an impossible task, because often an angel, crocheted, is based on a circular doily pattern. Part of it is used to form wings, another fragment serves as a dress.

As a result of development, a flat or three-dimensional (three-dimensional) angel can be obtained. This article will discuss the principle of knitting several flat angels.

Easier not to think of

First of all, you should pay attention to the elementary scheme, according to which even a beginner craftswoman will get a beautiful crochet angel.

Schemeshere are very simple, they include elements such as:

• Aerial loop (VP).
• Single crochet (SC).
• Double crochet (CCH).
• Double crochet (C2H).

Making the body with wings:

1. Chain of 15 ch and 13 sc.
2. Beginning of the formation of "bushes": 26 CCH.
3. 1dc, 1ch, 1dc in each "bush".
4. 2dc, 1ch, 2dc.
5. 2dc, 1ch, 2dc, 1ch.
6. 2SN, 1VP, 2SN, 2VP.
7. 3dc, ch 1, 3dc, ch 2.

Angel wings are ready. Now work will continue with only five "bushes" located in the center of the canvas. The side pieces should be left as they are.

Knitting dress:

1. 3SN, 1VP, 3SN, 2VP.
2. 3 dc, 1ch, 3dc, 3ch.
3. 3SN, 2VP, 3SN, 3VP.
4. Final row: under the arch of 3 VP of each "bush" you should knit 11 CCH, 1 RLS.

The angel is ready. His head can be tied in any convenient way. The one suggested in the following diagram is perfect.

Knitted angel №2

The head of this figurine is made by tying a ring of suitable size with columns without a crochet.

It can be a wooden, metal or plastic ring. The number of RLS does not matter, but it is important that they are very densely spaced and the base material is not visible.

At the crown, you can perform several picos from 5 VPs. When the head is ready, you need to complete 1VP and tie 9СБН. Based on them andthe rest of the fabric will be connected:

1. 3VP, 3VP, 2SS N, 6VP, 2SS N, 3VP, 1SS N. The outer arches will become wings, and the central one will become a dress.
2. In a small arch, tie 6 SS N, in the central - 11 SS N, and again 6SS N.
3. 1CC N, 2CH (repeat 4 times), 1CC N, 1CH.
4. C2H, ch 1 (repeat 10 times).
5. 1cc, 2ch (repeat 4 times), 1cc N.
6. 1 sl-st n, ch 3 (rep. 4 times), 1sl-st n, ch 1.
7. SC, 3ch (rep. 8 times), 1ch.
8. 1 dc, 3ch (rep. 4 times), 1dc.
9. 3cc H with a common top, ch 2, pico, ch 2 (rep. 4 times), ch 2.
10. 2SS N, 1ch (rep. 9 times), 1ch.
11. 3cc H with a common top, 2ch, pico, 2ch (rep. 4 times), 1cc N.

Wings finished, continue knitting dress only.

1. 2S2N, 2VP (rep. 7 times), 2S2N.
2. 2C2H, ch 3 (rep. 7 times), 2C2n.
3. 3cc H with a common tip, 2ch, pico, 2ch (rep. 8 times), 3cc N with a common tip.

It turned out a neat and interesting crochet angel. The description is quite detailed, so even novice craftswomen can not be afraid for the result.

Processing figurines

Ready-made angels need to be treated with a special solution that will give them rigidity and turn them into a full-fledged interior decor.

If the figurines get a little dirty during the manufacturing process, they need to be washed. You can not wait until they dry, and immediately lay out on a prepared place. It is best to use a kitchen table covered with polyethylene. Figures are laid out on it and straightened so thatso that all elements lie flat, without folds.

Then prepare a solution of starch, PVA glue or gelatin. All crocheted angels are generously impregnated with them. With the diagrams and full descriptions that are offered in this article, it will take no more than two hours to work on one figure.

When the angel is dry, you can safely use it.
