Buddy's Angel Costume

Transcription

1 Buddy's Angel Costume Here is the pattern for Buddy's angel costume. I used a fuzzy white yarn (wool, acrylic blend) to make the wings. The yarn was quite soft and so the wings were a little twisted when they were finished. I used some fabric stiffener to make them sit the way I wanted. If your wings turn out a little twisty then you might want to take a look at this site: crochet.tangleweeds.com/stiffeners.html. It discusses a few techniques for stiffening crochet work. Good luck with the costume. If you need any help or if I've left anything out, let me know.

Leave a tail You ll need to use Buddy (or the toy the costume is for) to determine how many chains you need to start with. First, chain five. Pin this chain to the middle of the back of Buddy, one pin in the first chain, one pin in the fifth chain. Continue the chain until it can wrap around the arm of the toy and reach around the back, stopping under the pin in the fifth chain. Count the number of chains you ve added to the first five chains and note it down. This will be the length of the harness s arm straps. Add one more chain. This is the turning chain. Now you ll start to make the back of the harness. 2 of 6 22/5/18, 9:52 pm
