Harmony, 2018 Christmas Angel

Harmony 2018 Christmas Angel Crochet Decoration

What is Being Made

Harmony is a crocheted Christmas angel decoration designed by Rhondda Mol of Oombawka Design, Ltd. This intermediate-level project creates a three-dimensional ornamental angel figure suitable for holiday displays, tree decorations, or festive home décor. The finished piece combines a crocheted body with additional embellishments to achieve a complete angelic form.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. Crochet is a fiber art technique that creates fabric using a single hook to form interlocking loops of yarn. The intermediate difficulty level indicates that crafters should have foundational crochet knowledge and be comfortable working with standard stitches and shaping techniques. The pattern involves creating various components that are assembled together to form the finished angel decoration.

Stitches and Construction

While specific stitch names are not detailed in the available pattern information, the construction process involves standard crochet stitches typical of amigurumi-style (stuffed crochet) projects. The pattern requires the use of a stitch marker (with alternatives including safety pins, paper clips, or hoop earrings) to track rounds and maintain pattern accuracy during construction.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

• Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in White, a medium weight [4] acrylic yarn (7 oz/198 g; 364 yds/333 m per skein). The finished angel uses between 70 and 80 yards of yarn, making this an economical project that requires less than a full skein.
• Hook: 4.0 mm (G) size hook. The pattern specifies Furls Odyssey brand for the entire project except the halo component.
• Stuffing: Poly-Fil fiberfill for creating a three-dimensional, plush form.
• Halo: Bowdabra Bow Wire in gold color for creating the angel's distinctive halo accent.
• Additional Supplies: Scissors and a yarn needle for finishing and weaving in ends.

Design Features

The angel incorporates a gold wire halo as a signature design element, distinguishing it as a festive holiday decoration. The use of white acrylic yarn creates a classic angelic appearance, while the intermediate skill level ensures the project is accessible to experienced crocheters seeking a meaningful seasonal make.
