Assembly
- 1
Head: sew the head to the top of the bodice. Add the tiara across the top of the head, and sew a blue flower with 2 silver leaves on each side of it.
- 2
Arms: sew the arms to the sides of the bodice at Rounds 3-4. Bend them at the elbow and sew the hands together at the chest in a praying position.
- 3
Overskirt and bow: sew the overskirt to the waist with the front open. Tie the ribbon into a bow, sew it to the front waist, and add a pearl flower (one 6 mm pearl ringed by six 4 mm pearls) at its center.
- 4
Snowflakes: with white yarn, embroider 3-4 snowflakes on the blue overskirt. With blue, embroider one larger snowflake on the white front panel. Add a pearl center and a few silver stitches to each.
- 5
Wings: decorate each wing with a blue flower and 4 silver leaves on a chain-stitch stem. Sew the straight base of each wing to the upper back of the bodice so the wings fan outward.
- 6
Halo: push a short piece of craft wire through the halo base and into the back of the head, and secure it with stitches. Sew pearls along the skirt tiers and weave in all ends.
Important notes
- Tip: This is an original pattern inspired by the photo. Hidden details are interpreted from the image, and the pattern has not been physically test-crocheted.
- Tip: Abbreviations (US terms): ch = chain, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, MR = magic ring, BLO = back loop only, dec = decrease.
- Tip: Round pieces are worked in continuous rounds with a stitch marker. The overskirt and wings are worked in turned rows; the starting ch 3 counts as a dc, while ch 1 and ch 2 do not count.
- Tip: Dec (invisible single crochet decrease): insert hook in the front loop of the next 2 stitches, yarn over and pull through both loops, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.
- Tip: This is a decoration, not a toy. The pearls, wire, and pellets are choking hazards. Keep it away from small children and pets.
Pattern FAQ
How do I make the wings stand out?
Block them flat, then spray with fabric stiffener and let them dry before sewing them on.
Can I hang her on the tree?
Yes. The halo loop is strong enough for a sturdy branch. For hanging, use fewer pellets in the base so she isn't too heavy.
Can I give her a face?
Yes. Embroider closed eyes, a small smile, and pink cheeks before sewing the wig cap on.
Can I use acrylic yarn?
Yes, but cotton gives crisper scallops and lace. If you use acrylic, starch the wings and tiers to help them hold their shape.
