This is a crochet pattern to make this waldorf nursery number set.

For a young child, grasping the concept of numbers and what they represent gives them a great head start in maths. Playing games with these numbers is a great opportunity for them to develop these early numeracy skills.

The pattern includes 11 colour charts for each number along with written and photographic instructions, including a step by step guide on how to complete the colourwork. Because crochet stitches don’t sit squarely above each other it can be tricky to get neat colourwork, these charts have been carefully worked out to produce neat results.

This pattern is written in US terms

Materials:
150g sportweight cotton yarn (I used Debbie Bliss Eco Baby)
3.5mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle

I have shared a few ideas of games to play with these numbers on my blog.
