These brightly dressed Nutcrackers are sure to get you in the holiday mood! They can stand independently so they look great on a mantle and are knit mostly in one piece so you don’t have to sew fiddly pieces together!

Great news! There are now 2 patterns to choose from; one with handsome boots and the other with a darling Latvian Braid trim!

Supplies Needed
12 mm wooden beads for head, pipe cleaners, minimal yarn and one evening.
