These 12 Birth Month Angels are knit in the round, using Magic Loop or double pointed needles. The base/body, arms and head are all knit on as you work along. They are approx. 7 ½” tall (without hair) and are created using #3-light wt. (DK wt.) yarn. These darling Angels are free-standing on a weighted, flat base and hold an accessory that reflects the month. They will make a lovely birth month remembrance for a special someone!
Approx. yardage: NOTE: #4-Worsted Wt. (Aran/10-ply) yarn may be substituted, but a larger finished item will result.
