2022 HOLIDAY STASHDOWN CROCHET ALONG
This pattern is a part of the 2022 Holiday Stashdown Crochet Along! Every Monday and Thursday from October 3 through December 15, 2022, the hosts share a free crochet pattern by a different designer. This week is my turn! Each pattern will be a one-skein project, or a stashbuster/scrappy project, so you can work from your own existing yarn stash to make a great winter holiday gift, decoration, or wrap.
The Angel Doll is a lacy design with an amigurumi head. She is meant to be a decoration with the halo, perhaps by the tree at Christmas or on the couch, or placed on your bed each day. If you omit the halo, she could be a lovey doll too, ready for hugs.
