This crochet pattern includes written instructions for Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and a manger. Mary and Joseph are both just shy of 5” tall. The manger stands 2” tall and 4” wide (with hay!) Baby Jesus is 3” long. Mary and Joseph are open at the bottom which allows them to not only be used as dolls but also as puppets!

This crochet pattern nativity set of the holy family was weeks in the making as I worked, and re-worked the family and details until I was finally in love with the finished product! This would make a wonderful keepsake for any family. And…stay tuned since more friends are in the works to compliment this nativity scene!

Yarns used in the pattern: Yardages were calculated using my personal gauge (rather tight) + 25% to ensure enough yarn given you use a 4.0mm crochet hook.
