Description of work

1. Form the first air loop and tie it in a circle with single crochet stitches, like this. So that we get a knitted piece that resembles a circle in shape.Photo for a crochet lesson2.Next, we knit the second row in a circle. For this, we also use single crochet stitches, and we knit only one top stitch from each stitch in the bottom row. Due to the fact that we did not make any additional additions in a circle, our knitted piece looks like a small hat.Photo for a crochet lesson3. Following the second row, we knit the third row with single crochet stitches, in it we also do not make any additions, we only knit one new stitch from one stitch of the bottom row.Photo for a crochet lesson4. As a result of three knitted rows, we get a practically finished knitted part of the angel's head, we stuff it from the inside with synthetic padding or regular cotton wool, and then pull all the loops into one.Photo for a crochet lesson5.After the angel's head is ready, we move on to further knitting the body and wings, for this we tie another row of single crochet stitches around the head, this time we knit two stitches at once from each lower loop, and we get a detail like this. Reminiscent of a collar.Photo for a crochet lesson6. Knit the next row in the same way as the previous one, namely, from each column of the bottom row, knit two columns with one yarn over of the top one.Photo for a crochet lesson7. Now we will knit with small arches, each of which is a chain consisting of four air loops.Photo for a crochet lesson8. We also knit the next row with arches, placing them in a checkerboard pattern.Photo for a crochet lesson9.Next, we need to tie the last row of arches with elements resembling a "fan" pattern; for this, from the first arch we knit one single crochet, then one double crochet, one double crochet, again one double crochet and again a single crochet. We knit the whole row in a circle like this.Photo for a crochet lesson10.After this, we determine symmetrically where the angel's wings will stand out, we select three fans on each side and tie them with two rows of arches, each of which consists of three air loops.Photo for a crochet lesson11. We tie the last row of wings with single crochets. We fasten the thread and cut off the excess.Photo for a crochet lesson12. This is what we get.Photo for a crochet lesson13. Now we need to knit the lower part of the angel's robe. To do this, knit one circular row from the inside with arches consisting of four air loops each.Photo for a crochet lesson14. Continue knitting further in a circle with the same arches, making uniform increases according to the principle of knitting the “fillet mesh” pattern for another nine rows.Photo for a crochet lesson15.We knit the last row with “fans”, for this we knit one single crochet from each arch, two double crochets, one double crochet, two double crochets again and one single crochet.Photo for a crochet lesson16.

To decorate the angel’s head with a halo, secure the thread at the back of the head and knit a chain of fifteen air loops.Photo for a crochet lesson18. Connect the last loop of the chain to the first using a slip stitch, secure the thread and cut off the excess. Place the halo on the angel's head.Photo for a crochet lesson19.
