Hi there…
One of the free amigurumi knit designs we will share today is the amigurumi blessed messenger, whose photographs and configuration have a place with amiimaker.com. You can figure out how to knit these heavenly attendant utilizing the free amigurumi design. Because of amiimaker.com for this holy messenger.
Materials:
• yarn in five different colors;
• crochet hook according to the yarn weight you are using (I used a 3.25 mm);
• stitch markers;
• pins;
• polyester fiber;
• scissors;
• tapestry needle;
• embroidery floss.;
• tiny buttons and jingle bells;
• hot glue and hot glue gun (or any other glue that works for fabrics);
• blush (for makeup);
• small brush (for makeup) or cotton swab.
Abbreviations:
inc – increase
dec – invisible decrease
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
mr – magic ring
hdc – half double crochet
( ) total number of stitches at the end of each round
Notes:
Body, head, and hair are crocheted in rounds. Use a stitch marker at the end of each round. The other parts are all worked in rows.
Body and head are worked in one piece only. We start at the base of the body and finish it at the top of the head.
About the hot glue/fabric glue use: since this amigurumi is a small piece that will be used as an ornament, I recommend to use hot glue or fabric glue to make our work easier. But remember to be careful when using glue. Too much can make a mess, and we’d like to have a neat little angel. If you are making this cutie as a gift for a child, it is recommended to sew all the parts.
Body/Head:
Use the color chosen to crochet the body.
Stuff the body using polyester fiber. Continue stuffing while crocheting until the end. Stuff it very well.
