Hello, my dear friend. Welcome to our blog Handmade Learning Here. Today I’ve something special to you, one adorable pattern… The crochet angel. There’s something truly heartwarming about crocheting an angel. Whether you’re making it to honor a loved one, gifting it to someone who needs comfort, or simply decorating your home for a special season, this little remembrance Angel carries a gentle and loving touch.

Today, I’m sharing a beginner-friendly version of a classic angel design, written slowly, carefully, and with all the kindness of a cozy crochet circle. If you’re new to amigurumi-style shapes, don’t worry one bit, sweetheart. We’ll go step by step, working from the top of the head all the way down to the skirt, and then we’ll add the arm, wings, and shiny little halo.

So grab your yarn, your favorite hook, and let’s make something beautiful together. 🧶

 

Materials You’ll Need

• Worsted weight yarn in your preferred color (white or cream looks lovely!)

• 4 mm (G) crochet hook

• A small amount of stuffing (Poly-Fil or any fiberfill)

• Thin metallic craft wire for the halo

• Yarn needle for sewing

• Scissors

Everything in this project is made using US crochet terms.

How the Angel Is Made

This angel is mostly crocheted in one piece, starting at the top of the head, continuing down through the body, and ending with a softly flared skirt. After that, the wings, arm, and halo are made separately and sewn in place.

This method makes the project beginner-friendly because you don’t have to attach many small pieces later,  just a few charming finishing touches.

 

The Head

You’ll begin with a magic ring and shape the head using simple increases and decreases. The stitches stay tight, so your stuffing won’t peek out. Once the head is full (but not too firm), a round of front-post stitches creates a sweet little neckline that leads right into the body.

Shaping the Body

After the neck is formed, you’ll build the angel’s torso with easy rounds of single crochet. A pair of little open spaces is added on each side — these openings will hold the arm later on.

Don’t worry if that part sounds tricky. When you get there, you’ll see how naturally it comes together!

Crocheting the Skirt

The skirt is where the angel really shines. We use a mixture of:

• half double crochet

• front-post half double crochet

• single crochet

• and even some tall stitches like treble (tr)

These create a soft, decorative texture that gently fans outward. As you work, the skirt starts to take on that classic angelic shape — so pretty and delicate!

Making the Arm

The arm is made as a small flat rectangle that you fold and seam into a little tube. Because the openings on the sides of the body were created earlier, you can slide the arm straight through so it looks like it’s tucked through the dress sleeves. It’s very beginner-friendly and doesn’t require shaping a full hand or arm.

Soft and Fluttery Wings

Each wing is crocheted as a small shaped motif. They are built with a combination of double crochet, treble, half double, and single crochet stitches. The final row creates a lovely scalloped effect, like tiny feathers.

Once finished, they’re sewn to the back of the angel, giving her that gentle, floating look.

Adding the Halo

For the halo, we use thin metallic craft wire, crocheted lightly into a little chain. The chain is then looped and tightened so it forms a perfect little circle. This wire makes the halo stand straight and gives your angel a beautiful, glowing finish.

Final Assembly

Once all the parts are ready, the assembly is simple:

• weave in any yarn tails

• slide the arm through the side openings

• sew the wings onto the back

• attach the halo through the stitches at the back of the head

And just like that, your own handmade crochet Angel is ready. You can sit her on a special shelf, use her as a tree ornament, or give her to someone you love.
