Crocheted angel: schemes, detailed description

Crocheted angel looks decent on any Christmas tree. In many Western countries, such decorative elements have been used for a long time, and now domestic craftswomen have the opportunity to actively participate in decorating the house. It should be noted that openwork angels can be attached not only to the branches of spruce, but also to the curtain rod, chandelier, railing of the stairs and in any other place.

In addition, a crochet angel is not only a Christmas decoration. It easily turns into a fairy and becomes a universal decor, especially for children's rooms and holidays.

What materials are suitable for creating angels

The most common yarn for knitting such jewelry is cotton. This choice is justified by many factors:

• The thread is very strong, even being very thin.
• It does not fluff and does not exfoliate (especially mercerized cotton).
• It has a beautiful tight torsion, which gives a clear volumetric texture to a knitted fabric.

It may seem that the described qualities of yarn are not particularly important for the manufacture of decor. However, this is not so: a thick and loose thread will nullify all efforts, since the crochet angel will look untidy and rude. His delicate patterns can be blurred, so the result will not bring the craftswoman any pleasure, except for the realization that she managed to save.

The optimal thickness of the thread used is in the range of 550-650 m / 100 grams. The hook should also be used thin: No. 0.9 or No. 1.

Types of Knitted Angels

There are a very large number of crochet angels. There are a few simple popular schemes that most craftswomen use, but some prefer to develop an independent project.

This can not be said that this is an impossible task, because often an angel crocheted is based on a circular napkin scheme. Part of it was used to form the wings, another fragment serves as a dress.

As a result of development, a flat or three-dimensional (three-dimensional) angel can be obtained. This article will discuss the principle of knitting several flat angels.

It’s easier not to come up with

First of all, it is worth paying attention to the elementary scheme, according to which even a novice craftswoman will get a beautiful crocheted angel.

The schemes here are very simple, they include elements such as:

• Air loop (VP).
• Single crochet (RLS).
• Double crochet (CCH).
• Column with two crochets (C2H).

Making a body with wings:

1. A chain of 15 VP and 13 RLS.
2. The beginning of the formation of "bushes": 26 CCH.
3. 1, 1, 1 in each "bush".
4. 2, 1, 2.
5. 2, 1, 2, 1.
6. 2, 1, 2, 2.
7. 3SSN, 1 VP, 3SSN, 2VP.

Angel wings are ready. Now the work will continue with only five “bushes” located in the center of the canvas. Side fragments should be left as they are.

Knitting dresses:

1. 3, 1, 3, 2.
2. 3 CCH, 1VP, 3SSN, 3VP.
3. 3, 2, 3, 3.
4. The final row: under the arch of 3 VP of each "bush" should be knitted 11 CCH, 1 RLS.

Angel is ready. His head can be tied in any convenient way. Perfectly fit the one proposed in the following diagram.

Knitted angel number 2

The head of this figure is made by tying in a crocheted column a ring of a suitable size.

It can be a wooden, metal or plastic ring. The number of RLS does not matter, but it is important that they are very tightly located and the base material is not visible.

At the top, you can perform several pico from 5 VP. When the head is ready, you need to perform 1VP and tie 9. On their basis, the rest of the canvas will be connected:

1. 3VP, 3VP, 2CC N, 6VP, 2CC N, 3VP, 1CC N. The extreme arches will become wings, and the central one will become a dress.
2. In a small arch, connect 6 SS N, in the central one - 11 SS N, and again 6 SS N.
3. 1CC N, 2VP (repeat 4 times), 1CC N, 1VP.
4. C2H, 1VP (repeat 10 times).
5. 1SSN, 2VP (repeat 4 times), 1CC N.
6. 1 SS N, 3VP (repeat 4 times), 1SS N, 1VP.
7. , 3 (repeat. 8 times), 1.
8. 1 CCH, 3VP (rep. 4 times), 1 CCH.
9. 3SS N with a common top, 2VP, pico, 2VP (repeat 4 times), 2VP.
10. 2SS N, 1VP (repeat. 9 times), 1VP.
11. 3SS N with a common tip, 2VP, pico, 2VP (rep. 4 times), 1SS N.

The wings are finished, continue to knit only the dress.

1. 22, 2 (repeat. 7 times), 22.
2. 22, 3 VP (repeat. 7 times), 22.
3. 3SS N with a common top, 2VP, pico, 2VP (rep. 8 times), 3SS N with a common top.

The result was a neat and interesting crochet angel. The description is quite detailed, so even novice craftswomen can not be afraid for the result.

Figure processing

Finished angels need to be treated with a special solution that will give them rigidity and turn into a full-fledged interior decor.

If the figures got a little dirty during the manufacturing process, they need to be washed. You can not wait until they dry, and immediately lay out on the prepared place. It is best to use a kitchen table covered with polyethylene. The figures are laid out on it and spread out so that all the elements lie evenly, without folds.

Then a solution is prepared from starch, PVA glue or gelatin. They are generously soaked with crocheted angels. With the diagrams and the full description that are proposed in this article, work on one figure will take no more than two hours.

When the angel dries, it can be safely used.
