Crochet Fairy Wings Tutorial

Materials Needed:

Lace weight yarn (mohair suggested, but acrylic can also be used)
4.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Darning needle
Stitch markers
Pre-shaped fairy wings as a base (can be found on Amazon or physical stores)

Pattern Steps:

Bottom Wings:

Starting Loop:

Create a slip knot and chain 4. Join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.

Round 1:

Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet). Add 15 more double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3. (16 stitches total)

Round 2:

Chain 5 (counts as 1 double crochet + chain 2), double crochet in the next stitch, chain 2. Repeat - around for a total of 16 stitches. Join with a slip stitch to the 3rd chain of the starting chain 5.

In Round 3 (Cluster Round):

Chain 2, then work a cluster stitch where you partially perform double crochets but do not complete them until the end. Pull through all loops on the hook, chain 3. Repeat around and finish this bottom piece of the wing by joining with a slip stitch.

Round 4:

You need to produce two of these for both wings.

Top Wings (Extension of Round 3):

Continuing From Round 3:

Start with a slip stitch into the next space and chain 7 to create a corner.

Creating Corners:

Follow a process similar to the cluster from round 3 but with an additional sequence to accommodate the shape of the top wing. Chain 3 to 7 in between depending on shaping, and complete similar clusters.

Adding Details:

Single crochet, then chain 4, single crochet across to form the top edges of the wings. Repeat the corner shape at each end.

Finishing:

Repeat the process for the curvature on the other side, maintaining the diamond shape typical of fairy wings.

Final Assembly:

Attaching Crochet to Base:

Use a darning needle and long tail to sew the crocheted pieces onto the pre-shaped wing base. Use stitch markers to aid the attachment and ensure no movement while sewing.
