Arms (2 Pieces)

Start with beige yarn:

Round 1: 6 sc in MR
Round 2: 6 sc
Then crochet with white yarn:
Rounds 3-8: 6 sc

Sew the arms to the sides of the body.

Wings

Crochet the wings with shiny yarn in turned rows. Make two identical pieces.

Row 1: chain 10 + 1 turning ch
Row 2: 9 sc, starting in the second chain from the hook, inc, turn
Row 3: inc, 10 sc, turn
Row 4: 11 sc, inc, turn
Row 5: inc, 12 sc, turn
Row 6: 13 sc, inc, turn
Row 7: inc, 14 sc, turn
Row 8: 15 sc, inc

Sew the wings to the back.

Hair

I crocheted each strand in a spiral directly onto the head. Into each single crochet on the head, working in a spiral from the first round, I made a hair strand 10 ch long. This uses a lot of yarn, but it looks gorgeous.
