Christmas Angel

[MimiFL]

Here's a small angel I made for a friend's Christmas present last year (just getting around to documenting it!). The angel is called Joy, and I got the pattern from my Vanna White binder collection. I really haven't mastered the whole 3-D stiffening thing, but I did my best. The angel shape is more like that of a bell, but it's actually kind of pretty! The finished size was around 6 in. I used Grandma's Best thead (I think) and my trusty #7 hook. I didn't like the halo they had, which was crocheted over a plastic ring, so I made my own. It's basically just a few chain stitches joined into a round, then followed by slip stitches on the next round, and then stiffened. I used gold metallic thread for the halo, and I added a little red ribbon to finish the piece.
