I hand knitted this ornament because my husband and I
had recently moved and had no ornaments to decorate the tree. We
also had no money, so I scrounged up yarn and beads I had around the
house, and got creative.
How to Make
Body of Angel:
Size 8 single-pointed needles. Cast on 24 stitches. Knit
back and forth 2.5-3 inches. Decrease by knitting 2 then 2
together, repeat until down to 1 stitch. Sew together on back.
This is similar to making a hat, just scaled down a bit.
Wings: Cast on 8 stitches and knit
bak and forth about 1 inch then decrease by knitting 2 then 2
together. Do this twice to make both wings, sew together and
onto back of body of angel.
Head: Wrap yarn
into a tight ball until reaches desired size then sew tight.
Finishing touches: Thread beads
string for halo and sew 2 beads on for eyes.
Supplies
Lion Brand Fun Fur ($1 for a ball at the Dollar
Tree) Any type of yarn will do, I doubled up with Acrylic and Fun
Fur in cream color for the body, and just the acrylic for the wings. 10-12
beads for halo and 2 beads for eyes.
