Angel Zu is a dreamy little angel with fiery orange curls, big blue eyes with lashes, fluffy white wings and an airy knitted mohair dress. An optional wire frame lets her fly, sit or hold any pose – a magical gift and a lovely decoration for the nursery or the Christmas tree corner.
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 Zu has a sister – Angel Shu (#148).
