Overview

Taking advantage of a variety of sparkling and novelty yarns, this knitting project book delightfully illustrates a crafted construction of the nativity scene. With expert patterns and instructions, the scene is small enough to be manageable yet large enough for many knitters to be involved in completing the job making this a great project for a school, church, knitting group, family, or community. The older, more experienced knitter can rise to the challenge of constructing the Wise Men’s ornate cloaks while young fingers can contribute by making the stable wall by simply wrapping yarn. With full patterns, diagrams, drawings, and photography, Mary, Joseph, the infant Jesus and manger, and various other elements all come to vibrant life for a beautiful nativity scene to be enjoyed for years to come.
