Angel Shu is a sweet, shy little angel with a cloud of creamy white curls, huge blue eyes with lashes, fluffy white wings and an airy knitted mohair dress – add a flower crown and a tiny bouquet. An optional wire frame lets her stand, sit or hold any pose – a magical gift and a lovely decoration for the nursery or the Christmas season.

A crochet and knitting pattern by Svetlana Pertseva with step-by-step instructions and photos. The angel is crocheted, the cheeks can be tinted with oil pastels and the dress is knitted on thick needles. Angel Shu has a sister – Angel Zu (#147).
