Openwork angel crochet with diagrams: photo, description

Despite the fact that Christmas is only once a year, some traditional New Year's holiday decorations are universal and can be used throughout the rest of the time. For example, crochet crocheted angels (see diagrams below). These figures are quite simple to make, they serve as decor for a Christmas tree, a window opening or a children's room.

Types of knitted angels

Conditionally, all the existing figures of angels can be divided into several main types:

• Simple, flat;
• Volumetric in the form of a cone;
• Complex, with lots of details.

The classification is based on the way of making figurines and their appearance. The tools and materials used are common for all kinds:

• Yarn (cotton, viscose, lurex, polyamide, microfiber, linen);
• Auxiliary materials (wooden and metal rings for tying, cardboard for the frame);
• A hook for a thin thread (0.6-1.0), a scissors, a needle;
• Satin ribbons, beads, sequins, lace and other decor.

The thinner the selected thread is, the more delicate and gentle it will turn out to be the crocheted angel. With the schemes and description can help the Internet. This article offers several options. However, using imagination and combining several patterns, the skilled worker is able to create her own scheme.

Knitting a flat angel

The picture below shows an angel, which is a flat cloth, as well as a diagram of his knitting.

Work begins from the top. First knit five air loops (VP), which are closed in a ring to create a round head.

Linking the scheme three rows, the work continues only with part of the canvas: to form the wings and trunk.

The basis for the semicircle, which will become the body of the angel, is the initial arch from the EP, attached to the head from the side. Next, the first row is tied into this arch, and all subsequent rows must be strictly executed according to the scheme. This is necessary in order to get perfectly flat angels crocheted. With schemes for expanding the circular canvas should be attentive, because too rapid expansion will lead to the formation of ruches, and insufficient will cause the tightened and deformed parts.

When the semicircle reaches the required size, knitting should be continued only in the middle section. Thus, the lace mantle of the angel will be made.

Volumetric crocheted crocheted angel with patterns and description

More complex in production, but also more beautiful, angels in the form of a cone can have different decorative design.

The main common features remain:

• Round head;
• Cone-shaped body;
• Openwork wings;
• nimbus.

The head is knitted according to the pattern of tying the beads or according to the instructions for making round details for amigurumi toys. Inside, you can put a sintepon or a large light bead.

The trunk is easy to make using any familiar mesh net. It can have square or semicircular cells. The main thing is that the canvas slightly widens to the bottom, then you get stable angels with a crochet. The diagrams of the openwork border for the mantle edge can be found below.

Using these patterns allows you to give the figure lightness and airiness. Wings are also knit using an openwork pattern, but you can come up with your own way of making them. For a nimbus, it's easiest to tie a thin circle around and sew a gold bead on it.

Shutdown

At the last stage it is necessary to give the figures a shape. Angels crocheted (with patterns of continuous or openwork cloths) need to be processed. They should be impregnated with a solution of starch, gelatin or PVA glue.

To the figure when dried, took the correct form, it is put on a pre-prepared cone of cardboard. Interlayer of polyethylene will help to avoid adherence of a cloth to a paper.
