A Child Is Born Nativity Set

Introducing a delightful set of character dolls, perfect for knitters looking to create a charming nativity scene! This knitting pattern features a variety of beloved figures, including Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and Manger, the Three Kings, an Angel, a Shepherd, along with a Sheep, Donkey, and Camel. Each character is designed with simple color changes and unique added details, making them both appealing and fun to knit.

One of the best aspects of this knitting project is that it requires only small amounts of yarn, making it an ideal way to utilize the remnants from your yarn stash and reduce waste. Designed by the talented Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the characters are knitted using acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles, rather than in the round. This pattern also incorporates a few pieces of i-cord, which are knitted tubes created on two double-pointed needles (DPNs), as well as some single crochet chains for decorative accents.

This pattern is suitable for confident beginners and more experienced knitters alike. You'll learn essential techniques such as casting on and off, as well as performing knits, purls, increases, decreases, and finishing with seaming. With detailed instructions provided, you’ll be able to create each character with ease and enjoy the process of bringing your nativity scene to life.

Whether you’re looking to make heartfelt gifts for family and friends or simply want to enhance your collection of handmade decorations, this knitting pattern is a fantastic choice. Dive into the joy of crafting and create your own special nativity set today!
