The pattern was published in Let’s Knit magazine previously in 2021.

The dolls come out about 15cm tall.
All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. The set includes Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, Shepherd, 3 Kings, Angel, Sheep, and Donkey. The project requires many colours in small quantities. Feel free to use your stash.
