LITLLE CHRISTMAS ANGELS toy knitting pattern by Georgina Manvell
Discover the delightful world of crochet with these charming angels, measuring approximately 6" tall when completed using high-quality crochet cotton and 6 stranded embroidery thread for their lovely hair. Each angel has a head crafted from a cotton ball that is 1.25" in diameter, readily available at all well-stocked craft shops. This pattern includes three enchanting versions of the angel: 1) the basic crochet version, 2) a second knitted variant embellished with 90 small beads sewn around the bottom edges of the sleeves and dress for a touch of sparkle, and 3) a third version featuring 326 small beads intricately worked into a lacy pattern that enhances its elegance. These beautiful hand-knit angels make perfect, timeless decorations that can be treasured for many Christmases to come.
This lovely pattern is the creative work of designer Georgina Manvell and was first published in Home & Country magazine in 1983, reappearing in the My Weekly magazine on December 16, 1995. As a special addition, we have included a nostalgic picture from the My Weekly article from 1995 for your inspiration.
Recognizing the timeless charm of these lovely angels, we decided they deserved a fresh look, updating the photos to feature an exciting new format that beautifully captures the essence of their enchanting design. Don't they stand out beautifully against a snow scene? This updated version retains the same beloved pattern initially showcased in Home & Country. Georgina and I, Suzannah Holwell, are now proud to work in partnership as designers, holding joint copyrights on this and other patterns.
