Article: How to Make a Cute Little Angel Applique
Welcome to another crochet tutorial! In this video, I'm going to show you how to make a cute little angel applique. It's a fun and easy project that you can use to decorate various items like Christmas trees or gift wrap. So, let's get started!
Materials Needed
For this tutorial, you will need the following materials:
- DK or light worsted weight yarn (any color of your choice)
- 3.5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Now that you have all your materials ready, let's begin!
Step 1: Making the Chain 4 Loop
To start, make a slipknot and chain 4. This will create a loop. Insert your hook into the first chain and pull the yarn through to create a 4-chain loop. In this loop, we will be doing 12 double crochets (or trebles in UK terminology). Work the double crochets into the loop, making sure to pull the yarn through two loops each time. Repeat this process until you have 12 double crochets in total. Slip stitch into the first double crochet to join the round.
Step 2: Double Crochets (or Trebles)
Next, chain 4 and work 3 treble crochets (or double trebles) into the first chain. Chain 4 again and slip stitch into the same chain. Repeat this process until you complete the round. Slip stitch into the first chain to join.
Step 3: Slip Stitch and Chain 4
Chain 3 and turn your work. In the chain 4 space from the previous round, work a slip stitch. Chain 3 again and slip stitch into the same chain 4 space. Continue this pattern across, chaining 3 and slip stitching into the next gaps between the trebles. Repeat this until you reach the end, and slip stitch into the last chain 4 space.
Step 4: Chain 3 and Turn
For the next step, chain 3 and turn your work. Skip the first stitch and slip stitch into the next stitch. Chain 3 again, skip the next stitch, and slip stitch into the following stitch. Repeat this pattern across until you reach the end.
Step 5: Slip Stitch and Chain 3
Chain 3 and slip stitch into the chain 3 space from the previous round. Repeat this pattern across, chaining 3 and slip stitching into the chain 3 spaces. Continue until you reach the last chain 3 space, and slip stitch into it.
Step 6: Repeat the Slip Stitch and Chain 3
Chain 3 and slip stitch into the same chain 3 space. Repeat this pattern across, chaining 3 and slip stitching into the chain 3 spaces. Continue this pattern one more time until you reach the end. Slip stitch into the last chain 3 space.
Step 7: Chain 3, Skip Stitches, and Slip Stitch
Chain 3 and turn your work. Skip the first stitch and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern, chaining 3, skipping one stitch, and slip stitching into the next stitch. Continue this pattern until you reach the end, and then chain 3. Slip stitch into the last chain space.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
To finish off the angel applique, twist the main circle so that the tail end is facing away from you. Then, work two double crochets (or trebles) in the next stitch. Repeat this on the other side as well. Once you finish, cut the yarn and hide the tail end by sewing it in with a yarn needle.
