SWEET LITTLE ANGEL DIRECTIONS
This Angel is very easy and quick to make.
The pattern uses only basic crochet stitches - double crochets and chains.
The pattern was made with YarnArt Begonia: 100% cotton, mercerized cotton, 50g/1.76oz = 169m/185yrds

Crochet hook 2.5 mm.

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet term:
SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
DC - double crochet
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)

Special stitches used: Picot Stitch

Picot stitch directions: Create three chain stitches from the point in your row where you want to add the picot stitch. Insert your hook in the third chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch and through the loop on the hook. This is one completed picot stitch.

PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch3 at beg of the row counts as a dc throughout.
2) The project started as a circle, the circle is finished by a slip stitch. Then the project is crocheted in rows. Finish each row with a dc placed in the 3rd ch from the previous row.
3) This Sweet Little Angel measures 3.14 inches by 3.0 inches, 8 cm by 7.6 cm.
4) You can make the Sweet Little Angel bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.
