Angel Kawaii Cuddler™ – Free Crochet Pattern

Hi friend! Happy Tuesday!

The fourth design in our Christmas Series this year is the Angel. She’s ever so dainty with her flower halo & pearl necklace. We’re dedicating our Angel crochet pattern to two beautiful angels that left Earth far too soon – Ava & Brooklyn.

We can’t wait to see what you create with our new free crochet pattern. We hope you enjoy making your very own Angel! When you complete one, please post it in our Facebook group or tag us on Instagram #3amgracedesigns. We love seeing your work!

Have an amazing week! Happy Crocheting!
