Material

Tutorial
Head
Make a magic ring, 3 ch and 12 dc stitches on the ring. Close this first row with an sc stitch at the first stitch.
For the second row make 3 ch, 1 dc stitch, 2 ch, 1 dc stitch and follow this until the end. Finish this turn with an sc stitch and cut.
Wings
With the same yarn, place the thread’s beginning between the 8th and the 9th dc stitch of the first head angel row. After this, make in this row 2 ch and 1 dc between the 9th and the 10th dc stitch of the first row. Next, make 2 ch and 1 sl st between the 10th and the 11th stitch.
In the second row of this part, make 7 dc stitches.
In the third row, make 2 dc stitches at each dc stitch of the previous row. Next, make 1 ch after these 2 stitches.
In the fourth row, make 1 dc stitch, 2 ch, and 1 dc between the tr stitches of the previous row. This way, you will make some fans.
For the fifth and last row of this part, make 3 dc stitches, 2 ch, and 3 dc stitches inside each fan.
Clothing of the crochet angel
To the clothing, you should make a fan (like the last row of the wing), in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fan of the last row and a dc stitch between each of the foundation fans.
Make 3 rows the same way, and you will need to crochet 3 ch to rise to the next row.
In the fourth row, make 2 dc stitches instead of 1 between the fans. For the last row, make 1 dc stitch for each dc stitch below. Besides, crochet 2 dc stitches inside the 2 ch of the middle fan.
Finish with an sl st and cut the yarn.
So, you have your first crochet angel to decorate your home.
