On a Starry Night

Celebrate Christmas with this Nativity scene, the perfect make to bring joy to your home each festive season. With yarn, stuffing and needles, you will only require a few little extras from your craft stash to bring this set to life. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, most pieces in the set are knitted on single pointed needles (not in the round). Two DPNs are used to knit i-cord tubes for the noses and arms, and a crochet hook to attach the donkey’s mane. This set was worked in acrylic 4 ply yarns, although you can use DK (double knitting/light worsted) on larger needles if you prefer. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish. The headscarves, donkey’s body and Jesus’s blanket are finished with Kitchener stitch.
