(US TERMS)
Chain: CH
Single Crochet: sc
Double Crochet: dc
Invisible Increase (Refer to Special Stitches): INC
Invisible Decrease (Refer to Special Stitches): dec
Space: sp
Chain Space: ch-sp
Stitch(es): st(s)
Round: rnd
Right Side: RS
Skill Level:
Intermediate – proficiency in executing increases, decreases, and picots.
Size:
Standing at approximately 6 inches tall, excluding the loop. Feel free to select a diferente yarn or thread size for a larger or smaller angel; however, please be aware that the required yardage will adjust accordingly.
Gauge:
Utilize the head as your gauge reference. Prior to adding stuffing, the head should have approximate dimensions about 2 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. While precision in gauge is not essential, ensure that your stitches are snug enough to prevent the stuffing from escaping.
STITCHES
Invisible increase (inc): Begin with a single crochet (sc) in the back loop only of the designated stitch, then proceed to single crochet (sc) in both loops of the very same stitch.
Invisible decrease (dec): Start by inserting your hook into the front loop only of the following next 2 stitches, then yarn over and draw up a loop, followed by yarning over again and pulling through both loops on the hook.
This presents an alternative method to create a decrease in crochet, distinct from the conventional single crochet 2 together (sc2tog) stitch. If you find it more convenient, you can opt for the standard sc2tog technique instead.
Picot: Ch 3, slip stitch into the top of the stitch you created previously.
PATTERN
Begin with an 8-inch starting tail.
Create a loop for hanging: Ch 6, then join them with a slip stitch to form a circle.

Round 3: (Increase in the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch) around. (18 single crochets)

First Wing: Begin by attaching the yarn with a slip stitch in the marked space (located at the underarm) with the right side facing you. Continue working through both layers as follows: single crochet in the next 3 stitches, make 3 single crochets in the next chain-2 space, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, single crochet in the next chain-1 space, single crochet in the next stitch, and finish by slip stitching in the remaining single stitch at the top of the wing. Secure the yarn end and cut it. This completes the first wing, which consists of 11 single crochets.
Second Wing: With the right side facing you, attach the yarn by making a slip stitch in the single stitch located at the top of the wing. Continue working through both layers as follows: single crochet in the next stitch, single crochet in the next chain-1 space, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, make 3 single crochets in the next chain-2 space, single crochet in the next 3 stitches, and finally, slip stitch in the next chain-1 space.
