Get ready for a Yarn Bomb!!!
These cute mini-angels are quick to make and look fab.
Make a million to give away at your Advent events.
Or a few for your Christmas Tree.
Or for festive bunting.
Party earrings?
Use scraps of DK or 4-ply.
Make one lacy circle for the body and another for the wings.
Super simple – pretty much all trebles, and minimal sewing (yay!)
Free PDF download from my Ravelry Store – check out my other pattern too! Or see below (but it ain’t so pretty).
The commitments for my MA are ramping up so I’m going to cut myself some slack over the next few months. You’ll still have Richard’s fabulous words and pictures appearing every Friday, but my Monday offerings will depend on workload.
But don’t forget, you can look up any text or event in the search engines. I’ve been doing this for the best part of a decade, so there are plenty of resources for you – all for free!
