All the character dolls in this set are knitted similarly with simple colour changes and added details. Instructions are included for Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and Manger, Three Kings, Angel, Shepherd, Sheep, Donkey and Camel. As you only need small amounts of yarn to make each character this is a great way to use up remnants from your yarn stash to avoid waste.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the characters are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). A few pieces are i-cord which is a tube knitted on two DPNs, and a few single crochet chains are used to decorate.
