Project Details
Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Why: The project involves multi-part construction rather than working in a single continuous piece. You must crochet a widening lace dress in flat rows, rejoin yarn to sculpt two symmetrical openwork wings with decorative picot edges, crochet a circular head in the round using a magic ring, and assemble the finished pieces neatly together.

Stitch Guide: Picot on Double Crochet
The delicate feather tips of the angel’s wings are created by working a picot stitch directly into the top of a double crochet. Here is how to complete it:
-
Work the Double Crochet: Yarn over, insert hook into the stitch, pull up a loop, pull through 2 loops, and pull through the remaining 2 loops to complete your regular double crochet (dc).
-
Chain Up: Without dropping your working loop, make 2 chains (2 ch).
-
Insert Hook: Insert the hook directly down into the front loop and vertical side bar at the top of the double crochet you just finished.
-
Slip Stitch: Yarn over and pull through both the stitch loop and the loop on your hook in one smooth motion.
-
Result: This locks the small 2-chain loop into a neat little pointed bead (picot) sitting right on the crown of the stitch.
