One of the best features of this pattern is its versatility. You can use cotton yarn for a soft, natural feel or switch to polyester yarn depending on your preference.

Using small amounts of worsted weight yarn in classic shades like white, tan or ivory, and yellow or gold, you can create a delicate angel design that feels timeless and comforting.
