EASY HEADBAND CROCHET PATTERN FOR BEGINNERS
Knitting Worsted Yarn - Size G Hook

Chain 11
Row 1 - single crochet in the second chain from the hook and single crochet across the row - 10 stitches -
chain 1 and turn the work.

Hint for beginners - In Row 1 - crochet in the top loop of the stitch.
In Row 2 and all remaining rows of the pattern - crochet in 2 loops of every stitch.

Row 2 - single crochet across the row - 10 stitches - chain 1 - turn

Hint for beginners - Be sure the first stitch is in the first space - directly below the chain 1. Pull the crocheting apart just a little to easily see the first space. Count the stitches as you crochet and be sure there are 10 stitches in Row 2 - otherwise, rip back and redo Row 2 starting in the first space.

Repeat Row 2 (counting each stitch in the row as you go to be sure there are 10 stitches) until the piece measures 21" (or desired length).
Using a yarn needle, sew the seam..

CROCHET CHRISTMAS ANGEL

An easy crochet pattern for a 4-1/2 inch angel.

Sugar'n Cream Crochet Thread - Size G Crochet Hook - Crochet Needle

ch-chain sc-single crochet dc-double crochet

The Skirt:
Chain 17
Row 1 - sc across row. (16 st) Ch 2.
Row 2 through 4 - dc (16 st) Ch 2.
Row 5 - dc. Tie off, cut yarn, leaving a 12" length.

With the yarn needle, sew the two edges together, matching rows and picking up 2 threads on each side of the seam. This makes a more solid seam.

Making the Head:
Cut a piece of cardboard 2 inches wide by several inches long. Wrap yarn around the 2-inch cardboard about 30 times. Cut an 8-inch length of yarn and, slipping it under the wrapped yarn, tie securely and this will be the top of the head. Tie the ends of the 8" length of yarn one inch from the ends to form a hanging loop for the angel. Remove from the cardboard and wrap a piece of yarn halfway down from the top of the head and tie securely, forming the neck of the angel.

With the yarn needle, gather the ending edge of the skirt by sewing through the loops of the last row of double crochet. Place over the head and pull tightly and tie at the neck with the seam at the back of the angel. Be sure to run the needle and thread through the neck area to secure the head.

Arms:
Tie the yarn on one side of the skirt at the gathering, chain 12 and attach at the other side.

Work all of the ends of yarn back into the work.

Wings:
ch 10.
Row 1 - sc. (9 stitches) ch 1.
Row 2 - sc. ch 2
Rows 3 and 4 - dc. ch 2
Row 5 - dc. ch 1
Row 6 - sc. ch 1
Row 7 - sc. Tie off.
Gather at the center, along the center dc row, and sew to the angel.

Place a double strand of yarn around the neck and tie in a bow at the front.
