Mini Amigurumi Nativity: Crochet the Christmas Story

Crochet your way to Christmas with 10 charming amigurumi figures from the story of the nativity, designed by popular designer Flo and Dot - Sarah-Jane Hicks.

Crochet the whole cast of the nativity, including:

• Mary, Joseph and the donkey
• Baby Jesus in his crib
• The Angel Gabriel and the star
• The three kings and their camel
• A watchful shepherd and his sheep.

These sweet characters, each measuring 4-43/4in (10-12cm), are great stash-busting projects. Bring them to life with appealing embroidered features and add details including a shepherd’s crook, the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and even swap in different beards!

The book contains a key techniques section that covers changing color, attaching body parts and working surface crochet stitches, so you can get started in no time. The easy-to-follow patterns are quick and easy to crochet, use only small amounts of yarn and are perfect for crocheters of all abilities.

Create a set as a gorgeous nativity scene decoration that can be used year after year, or use the characters as a festive playset.
