SAY IT WITH ANGELS! Give the gift of happiness, friendship, protection, love, good cheer, and Christmas cheer!

With this crochet pattern , you can crochet the 6 girl angels . Of course, you can let your creativity run wild and mix and match the angels, hairstyles, and accessories however you like. Maybe the lucky angel in purple after all? Or would you prefer the guardian angel with side curls, or the friendship angel in red?


The crochet pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions and plenty of pictures for each step. This makes it easy for even beginners to follow. You can also use up leftover yarn with these angels.

Plus, you’ll receive a free add-on with the pattern that lets you crochet a pram chain using the individual angels.

It’s the perfect project for relaxing while crocheting—and at the same time, you’ll be creating very personal gifts for your loved ones.

The Aenny triangular shawl is perfect for the holidays: It’s super easy to knit and therefore absolutely relaxing. You can use whatever yarn you have on hand—of course, all gradient yarns are beautiful, but mottled or solid colors look great too—and you can knit it as large as you like or until your yarn runs out... The knitted rose also makes for a special eye-catcher!

One lovely crochet project is my lightweight “Office Loop.” Since the pattern only spans two rows, it’s perfect for crocheting whenever you have a little time. So, take a look in your yarn stash—you’ll need about 250–300 m of fine yarn. I crocheted it using hook sizes 3.5 and 4, depending on the yarn. This loop also looks great when made with a variegated yarn.
