You can make this virgin Mary decoration for your tree, wreath, home decor or just as a teaching tool for young children. (There are no breakable parts for young hands to break). Mary was an excellent example of how God can use each of us if we are willing.

She would look wonderful on a wall display for people who are out of shelf space.

This pattern is made using U.S. crochet abbreviations and would be good for an intermediate crocheter.
