4. Make the Halo and Hanging Loop
With lavender, ch 18, keeping the chain relaxed. Join with a sl st to the first chain without twisting. Sl st in each of the 18 chains to reinforce the ring. Join to the first reinforcing sl st. Ch 12 and sl st back into that same joining point to create the hanger. Fasten off with a long sewing tail.
The halo should rest across the crown of the head. Lay it in place before sewing: if a yarn substitution makes it too small or large, adjust the starting chain to fit and work one reinforcing sl st in every chain. Keep the hanging loop separate from the halo opening.
5. Block and Assemble Your Angel
- Lightly dampen the dress and wings. Pin the dress into a symmetrical triangle with three rounded hem scallops. Pin the two wings as matching fans. Let them dry completely.
- Center the dress foundation ring beneath the head’s bottom closure. Sew through that ring and several stitches at the base of the head, making multiple small passes.
- Place each wing behind the upper dress, with its foundation point toward the neck. Mirror the two fans. Sew their inner edges to the neck join and upper back of the dress, leaving the outer scallops free.
- Place the halo on the crown, with the hanging-loop join at the back. Stitch the halo to the head at several points. Anchor the hanger’s base securely into the head fabric so the ornament’s weight is supported by the head, not just the halo rim.
- Weave all ends through several stitches on the back. Check the front for symmetry and hang briefly to see whether the dress hangs straight.
Keep the lace flat during sewing. Overlapping the head too far over the dress will hide the first fan, while pulling the wing joins too tightly can curl their edges inward. Use small, loose sewing passes initially, check the placement, then secure them.
Using the Tabletop Crochet Charts
The two chart photographs show the full angel arrangement above the finished piece on a craft table. Read the dress from its narrow top down to the three-shell hem. The wings, stuffed head, and halo are separate components that are sewn together; they are not one continuous flat crochet motif.
Use the written round list for the three-dimensional head, including its increases, stuffing, and decreases. A flat head silhouette in the image is an assembly illustration, not a substitute for those rounds. The written five-row dress and three-row wing instructions take precedence over decorative chart details.
Finishing Tips
- Dress curls: confirm each fan has seven dc and block the chain arches without stretching them excessively.
- Wings differ: compare all seven dc spokes and six edge loops; remake any wing with a missed space.
- Head looks angular: distribute the small amount of stuffing evenly before closing the last round.
- Angel leans: move the hanger’s attachment toward the center back of the crown and check the neck join.
- Storage: support the head and lay the lace flat in tissue paper.
