If made in #10 crochet cotton angel is about four inches high. In goldfingering it is about six inches high. It can be used as a bookmark, perhaps with a cord and tassel or else as a tree decoration or even made into bunting.
I made it as a bookmark to give as a Christmas card. I made them in all sorts of colours.
Even in #20 thread

Beautiful! thanks for NOT mentioned the ‘C’ word!!!! Would make a lovely Christening present too – I have given all my grandchildren angels at their Christenings – Granny’s Angels being there with them when I can’t be. xxx

I think they are utterly charming. I am almost tempted to have a go but its years since I crocheted anything so dainty. I like the idea of Grandmothers angel!

🙂 I don’t find crocheting with crochet cotton is much harder than with yarn as long as you have a good light!

Thank you so much for this beautiful angel pattern! The holidays are going to be especially difficult for my friend who recently lost her 10 year old son to cancer. I know this won’t take that pain away, but I wanted to make something for her to let her know that my thoughts and prayers are with her. Anyway, this is perfect. Thank you. – Maria

Thank you for accepting me on here,I have used a sugar/water & also a cornstarch/ water solutions then if you have to wash to clean them you can, but then again it all depends what you are using them for, I think I will try about # 30 weight cotton & go from there as to size, but not wanting it very big to put on a corner of an afgan.

If you look at the bottom photgraph you will see that made in #10 thread it is about 4 inches high but made in Twilley’s Goldfingering it is almost 6 inches. Made in a heavier yarn it would be even larger. So it depends on the yarn you use and also to a certain extent the hook you choose. Maybe you could make a small part of a wing in the yarn you want to use and then scale appropriately since four rows of the wing is about an inch in thread and so is about a quarter of the height of the whole thing.

I would like to get the pattern for an angel tree. I go to church at an Air Force Base and we support a nursing home at Christmas. Each angel has a resident name and what clothing item they would like plus size. Requests are filled by parishioners.
