About This Crochet Angel Pattern
- This crochet angel pattern starts by making the arms first.
- The head and body pieces are worked next as one piece, with the arms being crocheted into the body pieces as it is made.
- The legs and angel wings are then made and stitched to the body.
- We have designed the pattern to use #4 medium worsted weight yarn and a 4mm (G/6) hook, so the pieces of the crochet angel are not too small, making it easier to work with.

Crochet Stitches
You will need some basic crochet stitches to make this pattern, like single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, and chain stitch.
Invisible Decrease (invdec)
In this pattern, you will need to do something called 'invisible decreases. Do not worry if you are not sure how to do it! Check out our post on making a single crochet invisible decrease to learn all about it. It is easy, I promise!
Front Loops (FLO) And Back Loops (BLO)
In this pattern, you will need to know the difference between the front or back loops of stitches. If you are not sure what this means, check out our blog post understanding front and back loops in crochet. It explains everything in a super easy way.
Amigurumi Tips for Beginners

What You Will Need
We used #4 medium yarn (also known as worsted, Afgan, Aran, or 10 py) with 11 WPI (wraps per inch).
- Ivory - 87.5 yards (80 meters)
Crochet Hook
- 4 mm (G/6) hook
Note: This pattern allows for flexibility with yarn weights. Adjust your hook size to be 1-2 sizes smaller than the recommended size for your chosen yarn. Doing so will create a tighter fabric, preventing the stuffing from showing through.
Notions
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Toy stuffing
Finished Size & Gauge
Finished Size
This sitting amigurumi angel is about 6.3 inches (16cm) tall and about 4.7 inches (12cm) long from the back of the body to the feet when made with the yarn weight and hook size mentioned above.
Gauge
The gauge is not important for this project, but making sure the stitches are tight is important.
This prevents the toy stuffing from peeking through. If you notice the filling showing through, consider using a smaller hook size to achieve tighter stitches.
