Nativity Set
A lovely nativity set, all ready for Christmas! Includes Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, shepherds, kings, sheep and a donkey.
This is a great stashbust project – you can use up lots of odds and ends of yarn for these small figures.
I used Stylecraft Special DK and a 3mm hook, which made my figures 3-3.5” tall. Gauge is not important for this project.
The colours of Special DK I used are: toy, lapis, cream, green, lemon, dark brown, mocha, grey, white, black, claret, spice and dandelion. I used small amounts of each colour.
Other materials needed:
- Metallic embroidery thread: this is optional, but I used various colours of Royal Broderie metallic cross-stitch/embroidery thread for the Three Kings (Dark Gold, Silver, and Light Gold). You can use any alternative metallic embroidery thread, or just a suitable colour of DK weight yarn instead.
- dried lentils/beans/peas for weighting
- polyfill stuffing
- two cocktail sticks
- two brown or black pipe cleaners approximately 25cm in length
- a tapestry needle for securing ends
It is written in US terms and assumes a good working knowledge of basic crochet stitches.
This pattern has been tested, but we are only human; please forgive any mistakes.
