This Lavender Angel Ornament Crochet Pattern combines a little ivory head, peaceful embroidered eyes, an airy lilac dress, and two delicate fan-shaped wings. A lavender halo and hanging loop finish the angel for your Christmas tree, a gift package, or a handmade holiday display.
The design follows the reference’s gentle lavender-and-ivory palette. Only the head is stuffed; the lace wings and three-tier scalloped dress remain flat and light.
Lavender Angel Ornament Crochet Pattern: Project Details
- Skill level: intermediate, or a confident beginner comfortable with small amigurumi, turning rows, and sewing.
- Terms: US crochet terminology.
- Estimated size: about 12–15 cm tall, excluding the hanging loop. Finished dimensions depend on yarn, hook, and blocking.
- Construction: a stuffed head, a separate five-row lace dress, two separate fan wings, and a halo with a hanging loop.
This is an original image-inspired adaptation. The stitch arithmetic has been reviewed, but the pattern has not been physically crocheted or independently tested. The photographs show the intended appearance; follow the written instructions for exact stitch counts and assembly.
Materials
- Smooth sport-weight cotton: approximately 10 g lavender and 8 g ivory.
- A 2.25–2.5 mm hook, or a size giving firm fabric for the head.
- A small amount of polyester stuffing.
- Black embroidery thread, plus optional pale pink thread for cheeks.
- Tapestry needle, scissors, and a removable stitch marker.
- Blocking mat and rustproof pins for the lace pieces.
Use the same yarn weight for both colors. A smooth cotton makes the lace openings clear and holds the fan edges neatly. If the head stitches show stuffing through the gaps, use a smaller hook for that component. You may use a slightly larger hook for the lace, keeping both wings identical.

Abbreviations and Counting Notes
- MR: magic ring.
- ch: chain.
- sl st: slip stitch.
- sc: single crochet.
- dc: double crochet.
- inc: 2 sc in one stitch.
- dec: single crochet 2 stitches together; use an invisible decrease for the head.
- st / sts: stitch / stitches.
- ch-sp: chain space.
- Shell: 7 dc in the indicated space.
Work the head in continuous rounds without joining, marking the first stitch. For lace rows, turn at the end of every row except the last. A beginning ch 3 counts as one dc; a beginning ch 1 does not count as a stitch. Space chains are listed separately from stitch totals. Embroidery and sewing lines are not crochet stitches.
1. Crochet the Ivory Head
- Round 1:6 sc in MR.
- Round 2:Inc in each st.
- Round 3:(Sc, inc) 6 times.
- Round 4:(2 sc, inc) 6 times.
- Rounds 5–7:Sc in each st.
- Round 8:(2 sc, dec) 6 times.
- Round 9:(Sc, dec) 6 times.
- Round 10:Dec 6 times.
Before Round 9, embroider two shallow curved closed eyes across the front, around Rounds 5–6, with a gap of about three stitches between them. Add two short eyelash stitches to each eye. Keep knots inside. Add tiny pink embroidered cheek stitches if desired.
Stuff the head lightly after Round 9, adding enough filling to make a round shape without stretching the fabric. Finish Round 10, cut a long tail, and thread it through the front loops of the final six stitches. Pull closed. Keep the closure at the bottom, where the dress will attach.
2. Make the Lavender Fan Dress
Ch 4 and join to the first chain with a sl st, forming a small foundation ring. The dress is worked back and forth in rows, not around the full ring.
- Row 1 — top fan:Ch 3, then 6 dc into the ring. Turn.
- Row 2 — two arches:Ch 1, sc in the first dc; ch 3, skip 2 dc, sc in the fourth dc of Row 1; ch 3, skip 2 dc, sc in the top of the beginning ch 3. Turn.
- Row 3 — two fans:Ch 1, sc in the first sc; work 7 dc in the first ch-3 space, sc in the middle sc; work 7 dc in the second ch-3 space, sc in the final sc. Turn.
- Row 4 — three arches:Ch 1, sc in the first sc; ch 3, skip the first 3 dc of the first shell, sc in its fourth dc; ch 3, skip the remaining 3 dc, the middle sc, and the first 3 dc of the second shell, sc in its fourth dc; ch 3, skip the remaining 3 dc, sc in the final sc. Turn.
- Row 5 — scalloped hem:Ch 1, sc in the first sc; (7 dc in the next ch-3 space, sc in the next sc) 3 times.
Fasten off, leaving a sewing tail at the neck or adding a fresh length of lavender yarn for assembly. The finished dress has one fan at the top, two fans across the middle, and three fans at the hem. The chain-space rows connect these tiers and keep the fabric open.
Check the fourth dc of each seven-stitch shell before working Row 4. Those two center stitches are the inner anchors for the next set of arches. The middle arch spans the valley between the two shells; do not place an extra sc into that valley.
3. Crochet Two Ivory Lace Wings
Make two identical wings. Each wing is a small semicircular fan with stitched spokes and an open scalloped edge, rather than an empty chain loop.
- Foundation: Ch 4 and join with a sl st to the first chain.
- Row 1:Ch 3, work 6 dc into the foundation ring. Turn.
- Row 2:Ch 3, then (ch 2, dc in the next dc) 6 times. Turn.
- Row 3:Ch 1, sc in the first dc; (ch 3, sc in the next dc) 6 times, working over each ch-2 space.
Fasten off with a long sewing tail. Spread each fan so its straight foundation side can sit near the neck and its curved edge points outward. Do not stuff the wings. Make sure both have six edge loops and matching tension before blocking.
