Crochet Angel Ornament – Free Crochet Pattern
The Crochet Angel Ornament is a beautiful project and fun to make. This is a quick pattern to whip up in everyone’s favorite corner-to-corner technique and it uses a small amount of yarn. This would make a great gift any time of year. I hope you will give this a try. Scroll down for the free crochet pattern.

The yarn is by Yarnspirations, called Caron One Pound in the color White, and uses the double crochet corner-to-corner (C2C), and single crochet stitches. This easy pattern is really fun to make and to decorate.

The second version I have for you is in red and white. There are so many possibilities, it’s up to you how you want your angel to look.
Make two panels in each size, four panels in total. These whip up really fast! Then, crochet the body and wings together, and finally, make the head and attach it to the top. The halo is optional, and can be used as a hanger for the tree.
This is the third C2C Christmas ornament that I’ve made in the collection. Take a look at the other two free patterns, a Gnome Ornament and a Christmas Tree Ornament. Both use the C2C technique as well.
