I am so thrilled to be participating in the Furls Blog Hop this year with my friends from Furls Crochet! You can participate in the hop and take a peek at all of the wonderful free patterns that are being offered from tons of fantastic designers! One such pattern is the Tilda Angel! The Tilda Angel is an adorable amigurumi pattern to create a doll ready to snuggle! From the bright halo topping Tilda’s head, down to her beautiful shell-stitched skirt, this crochet project is sure to delight.
Isn’t she so sweet? I especially love her wings, I think they turned out so cute!
The Yarn
I used Furls Crochet Wander Yarn for the Tilda Angel Amigurumi and I absolutely love how many colours are available in the Wander Line! I had such a great time choosing the skin tone, the hair, and all of her accessories. This yarn also has a really great sheen to it, making it so smooth and silky along with great stitch definition!

About Tilda
I created the Tilda Angel as part of a gift for one of my community members as part of our weekly Wip Wednesday chats! We get together every Wednesday at 830pm est on the CoCo Crochet Lee Facebook Page for a live video chat where we talk about what we are making, what’s going on in our week and lots of yarny things! We do live unboxings, and giveaways, it’s a lot of fun. One of the best things that we do is at the end of every month we hold a draw for one custom order to be won by the members. This time the winner asked for an angel doll! I couldn’t wait to design something adorable and classic for her, and it turned out to be a big hit! And now you can crochet a Tilda Angel of your very own.
