Whether you’re religious or not, Angels are often seen as protectors or used as symbols of hope and faith.
Angel figures can often be comforting and caring to those who are experiencing difficult life situations or have lost a loved one, while simultaneously being beacons of joy and celebration for important life moments.
Crochet angels have been around for decades and are often used for ornamentation, especially around Christmas time.
However, there are so many crochet projects that incorporate the symbolism of angels, outside of the traditional Christmas tree topper.
