This pattern tells a story about the inspiration behind Kaitlin's Angel... Kaitlin :)

Pattern: Head – ch 2 10 sc in 2nd chain from hook, slip stitch to start chain	The head of this pattern shares with you her tiny weight, 2lbs (2 chains) and 10 ounces (10 single crochets)
Wings – ch 2, in same sc as chain add 2 dc and 1hdc slip stitch in next 2 sc, ch 2, turn ch 2, in same sc (under the slip stich into the sc) add 2 dc and 1hdc slip stitch to other wing	She then grew wings at 10pm at night, it takes 10 “stitches” to complete the wings. You help her fly a little further and share her love with each angel you make.
Body – ch 4, 6 tc in SECOND hole (7 stitches) ch 1, sc across putting one in the chain 4 as well (7 stitches)	Her tiny body stayed alive and with us for 14 ½ days. The ch 4 and 6 tc represent the first week she lived, the second row the second week and the ch 1 the ½. Ending the piece ends her short life on earth.

This item however reminds us of the beauty and special touch that even the smallest babies leave when they fly away. Kaitlin has helped create and mold so many new things In my life. So your left with a beautiful tiny angel for you to hold or give away spreading her love.
