Assembling
Arms: After you’ve finished crocheting all pieces, start sewing the arms onto the body. Sew the arms left and right onto the body, 1 stitch row under the “neck”. Do not sew the arms directly over the legs but slightly behind the legs.
Eyes: Attach the safety eyes after the 7th stitch row counting from the top center of the head. The eyes are 4 stitches apart from each other. Back to the crochet pattern.
Nose: Embroider the nose with a Soft Apricot thread. Embroider the nose centered under the eyes. To do this, pull the thread horizontally several times from one stitch through the next, skipping one stitch. Repeat until a thick nose forms.
Wings: Sew the wings onto the back of the body with a distance of 1 to 2 stitches to each other (feel free to sew on the first feather to get a better hold). Make sure that the wings run diagonally upwards.
Halo: Pull the two threads of the halo 3 stitch rows, counting from the middle of the head, through two adjacent stitches. Knot the threads on the inside of the hair several times together. Cut the threads short.
Hair: Place the hair with the halo onto the angel’s head. If necessary, the hair can also be sewn on.
DONE!
