How to crochet a
granny square
I've kept this pattern as simple as possible, so it's a speedy project that most of you
with a little crochet knowledge should be able to complete in a couple of hours.
Because she is a suitable project for beginners I've taken the time to photograph
each step. To give you the best chance of success. For you more experienced
crocheters I'll write out the pattern at the bottom of this post. Easy Crochet
Angel Tutorial
Her body is simply a hollow cone of granny clusters and her head is made
Amigurumi style, in a spiral.Don't worry if this technique is new to you. As I said, I Hello Lovelies, Well
goodness me it felt
will share lots of detailed instructions.
good to write the title of
this post. It's been
Apart from that there are just her wings, which again are not too tricky, though soooo long since I have
you could omit these or make some of felt if you prefer. had a Bunny Mummy
or...
Anyway, are you feeling inspired? She would look great on your Christmas tree.
Let's get started.
And they are the only stitches you need to know for this project.....is that O.K ?
good ......lets get started then :0)
Mini Crochet Bird
I've used double knitting ( worsted weight ) yarn .....it's my usual
Stylecraft.........but you can use any weight with the appropriate hook
size.......... gauge is not important.
Shall we begin with her head? It's worked from the top down. As well as your hook
To start chain 2
Insert your hook into the second chain from your hook.
and work 8 single crochet into this stitch, don't worry if the stitch opens up a lot as
you work.
Crochet Hexagon
Tutorial... Part 1
The work continues in a spiral, so it's advisable to mark the first stitch of each new
I also write down the number of the row I've just completed on a scrap of paper.
This is especially helpful if you need to break off at any point.
For Round Two work in the first stitch of round one *make 1 single crochet ,
then make 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. By the end of this round ( Cuddly Russian Doll
when you reach the stitch marker again) you should have 12 stitches.
Round 3 Carry on moving up your stitch marker every time you start a new
round. For this round make 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches and 2 sc in the third.
Repeat from * around ( 16 stitches)

stitches, and 2 sc in the fourth. Repeat from * around.

This part of your angel is worked in rows so there is no stitch marker required.
Yay.
To begin chain 4
Work 11 more double crochet stitches into the loop, crocheting over the central
yarn tail as you go.
At this point I pull on the yarn tail to close up the central hole
NB 2 I choose to do this just to the right of where the previous round finished,
then it is easy to crochet over the ends as you work. I find this acceptable for
decorative items but not blankets)
repeat around. Slip stitch into third chain of initial stitch and fasten off. ( 18
stitches)
Round Three Attach a new colour between the clusters of round two ( at the
point a cluster may only be one stitch wide) Chain 3 and repeat round 2.
Round Four attach a new colour and chain three. make one dc in the same space
and 2dc in every cluster space around. (26 stitches)
Round Six work in the same way as previously but make alternating two dc and 3
dc clusters. (30 stitches)
Round Eight This final round is the same as round seven ( 36 stitches)
Yay, our angel how has a head and a body. Time to add some features.
I had to remove the stuffing to place these. I would not consider these to be safe for
Here we are, head re stuffed. I do love the way the reflected light adds some "life"
to these eyes.
You could use shiny beads, or yarn french knots, or felt if you prefer. Or what
about making closed eyes. Might look sweet.
Next onto her mouth. Cut a length of red or pink yarn and thread a yarn needle
with it.
make the yarn come out where you want the corner of her mouth to be.
then insert your needle just below the lips and fasten off out of sight.
I then created two "bunches" by sewing her hair in place low down on either side of
her head, but other hair styles would be good too. Have a play around and see what
you like best.
Next you can use any sort of braid or a crochet chain to make your angel a halo. I
had spotted this peal trim in my bead box earlier.
Here you are looking at the back of my Angel. I could have covered more of her
head with hair really. I will try that next time.
I hope you are happy with how you little lady looks so far. All that's left are her
wings, but as I said before. You could skip these, or make them out of felt if you
prefer.
Any way, here's how they are made, it's not too tricky :0)
Start in the same way as you did when making her body. Chain 4 and slip stitch
into first stitch to form ring. Work 11 dc into ring, do not join to starting chain.
Round Three Chain 3 and turn. Work 1dc in the same stitch then 2dc in each of
the next six stitches, 1dc in the next two stitches, 1hdc in the next stitch. 1sc in the
next stitch. At this point you should have completed one wing, now you just need
to shape the second.
So in the next stitch make 1hdc in the next. 1dc in the following two stitches and
finally 2dc in the remaining seven stitches. ( 35 stitches in total) YAY your wings
should now look like this.
I gathered the middle of mine in a little and attached to the back of my angels body
with the same coloured yarn.
And here she is. Her wonky smile adds character don't you think? :0)
Head. Made from top down. Work in a spiral, marking each row as you start it.
Ch 2
round 1 make 8sc in 2nd ch from hook.
round 2 alternate 1 sc, 2sc around (12 stitches)
round 3 (1sc, 1sc 2sc )repeated (16 stitches)
round 4 (1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 2sc )repeated (20 stitches)
rounds 5-7 1sc in each stitch around ( 20 stitches)
round 8 (1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1 sc decrease) repeated around (16 stitches)
round 9(1sc, 1sc, 1sc decrease) repeated (12 stitches)
round 10 (1sc, 1sc decrease) repeated ( 8 stitches)
Leave a long yarn tail to sew head to body.
Body. Made in circular rows. Choose a new colour each row, or stay with the same
colour if you prefer. Crochet over yarn tails as you work.
round 1 ch3 ( counts as 1st dc) work 11 dc into ring. Slip stitch into third chain of
initial ch3 and fasten off.
round 4 made in same way as previous rows but with 2dc in every cluster space
(26 stitches)
Wings. these are made in three rows attached to a ring, with different height
stitches to shape. Stitches are made INTO stitches of previous round.
round 1 ch3 (counts as 1st dc) work 11 dc into ring, do not join to first stitch.
round 2 ch3 and turn. Work 1dc in same stitch. 2dc in next three stitches, 2 hdc
in next stitch. 1sc in next two stitches, 2hdc in next. Final four stitches need 2 dc in
each.
round 3 ch3 and turn. Work 1dc in same stitch. 2dc in the next six stitches. 1 dc in
the next two stitches. 1 sc in the next stitch. 1 hdc in the next stitch. 1 dc in the next
two stitches. 2dc in the final 7 stitches. ( 35 stitches in total...don't worry if you are
slightly out :0) )

Your Angels will all be different and I'd just LOVE to see them. Maybe if you use
Instagram you could use #bunnymummyangel or you could leave me a a comment or a
link here.
ps. This has taken an age and I'm feeling a little befuddled, so please let me now if you
spot any errors. Thank you ♥
