Using light yellow yarn, make 2 identical pieces in turning rows:

3. 5 sc, (hdc inc, 4 hdc) x 2, (dc inc, 4 dc) x 2, (hdc inc, 4 hdc) x 2, 5 sc, turn

Place the pieces wrong sides together and crochet them together with sc. Using Iris thread, work crab stitch along the top of the halo.

Assembly and finishing

• Sew the head and arms to the body.
• Sew the wings to the back, positioning them slightly toward the sides.
• Make the hair from yarn. I used Kamteks Travka in the first example and yellow Alize Softy, cut into 3.1 in (8 cm) strands, in the second. Attach the strands with a lark's head knot.
• Sew on the halo.
• Your little angel is ready!
