L it t le B o b b le A n g e l O rn a m e n t Designed by Julie A. Bolduc This little angel ornament is fun to make and would make a great addition to your angel collection. It starts at the head then goes to the bottom of the skirt. Then the wings are added on some skipped stitches on round 11. The halo is made last to top it off.

Stiffening: optional: I used Southmaid Crochet cotton which is somewhat stiff to work with anyway so I did not stiffen this at all but you can if you want to. I like a soft and supple angel on my tree when I make this style of Angel ornament. I did hair spray on the halo a bit though so it would keep it shape without being too stiff.
