Halo
Ch 18 and Sl st in furthest ch from hook to form a ring.

Fasten off leaving a long enough tail to stitch halo to head, weave in ends.
Finishing
Stitch halo to angel’s head. Make a cone out of wax paper (or wrap wax paper around anything cone shaped you might have) and place angel on it, use a pin (I find a T pin works best), to hold the halo above the head, and block with fabric stiffener.

Since it appears both the head and ‘shawl’ instructions are correct. I’m going to try going that far then designing the bottom to fit over a toilet paper roll (painted white).
This pattern is way way off. If you can’t see the error, perhaps you should have someone else look at it
There appears to be an error on on row 11. If you skip over the chan 3 loops, the pattern looses the lovely chains. Could you please re look at your pattern and advise. Thank you
Flaws in the pattern. Starting with row 11. Needs to be looked at and rewritten. Maybe have testers fo the pattern before publishing.
Hi Deb, I reviewed the pattern from Row 11 on and I don’t see an error. What is it that isn’t adding up for you?
It’s round 10 that is the problem. When you first make the chain loops 8 times and sc in next 12 sts. That part is ok but after making the next 8 chain loops you only work in last 6 sts when round 11 has you working sc in next 12sts which there are not enough sts to do that.
I love the pattern and appreciate all the work you put in to design it. I am having trouble with Round 10 & 11. I have made the angel top several ties and cannot seem to make it look like her wings. Please help if possible. Blessings and thank you.
