These pure white little wings are worked in the Afghan stitch, so the texture comes out clear and crisp. They take one small magic ring and five short rows, and they are lovely on a Christmas angel, an ornament, a card or any little gift you want to make special.

Today we’ll learn
how to crochet pure white little wings
Perfect for embellishing all kinds of small items
The main body uses the Afghan stitch
The resulting texture is clear and crisp
Follow along with the tutorial and let’s crochet together
The yarn is 4-ply worsted weight
and a 3.5 mm crochet hook
Start with a magic ring
Bring the yarn over and make a slip knot
Then chain 2 as the standing double crochet
Yarn over, insert the hook
Yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through two loops twice
That’s a double crochet. Beginners, place a stitch marker in the first stitch
Continue crocheting the second double crochet
The third
For Round 1, you need to crochet 12 double crochets
After completing, pull the yarn tail tight to close the ring
Remove the yarn tail
Insert the hook into the first double crochet
Yarn over and pull through to slip stitch
Next, we’ll crochet the wing section
Chain 14
That’s 14 chain stitches
Flip the chain over. On the back, you’ll see these bumps
We’ll crochet into the back bump (the chain’s back ridge)
Yarn over
This is the first back bump
We’ll work into the second back bump
Crochet a double crochet
Next, into the next back bump
Crochet an incomplete double crochet (yarn over, insert, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, leaving one loop on hook)
Next, crochet an incomplete single crochet (insert, yarn over, pull through, leaving two loops on hook)
For the remaining back bumps, crochet incomplete single crochets in the same way
After finishing, insert the hook into the second stitch from the start
Yarn over and pull through
Then yarn over and pull through two loops at a time
Continue until there are 3 loops left on the hook
Now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops
The first row of the wing is complete
Second row
Same thing: chain 3
Insert the hook into this stitch
Crochet a double crochet
In the next stitch, crochet an incomplete double crochet
Then crochet incomplete single crochets
The crochet method is the same as the first row
Only the stitch count will be a little different
After finishing, insert the hook into the next stitch and slip stitch
Yarn over and pull through
Yarn over and pull through two loops at a time
Same process: when you get down to 3 loops left
Yarn over and pull through the remaining 3 loops
That’s the second row
For the third row of the wing, chain 3
Again, start with a double crochet
Then an incomplete double crochet
Good, continue crocheting incomplete single crochets
Follow this method and crochet 5 rows in total
5 rows of the wing are complete
Finally, chain 3
Slip stitch into the same stitch
Then cut the yarn
Our wing is complete
