This Nativity set can be made mainly with DK yarn left over from other projects so the outlay is minimal. The human figures should use about 50 to 60 yards of yarn for the body and arms and stand about 17cm. The donkey and ox were made with Sirdar Snuggly DK which makes up a little smaller than many other brands. The lamb's body and the fluffy shepherd's shawl were made with James Brett Bubbalicious. The lamb's legs and face and the ox's horns were made with 4ply cotton. A small amount of knitting is required to make the i-cord for the lamb's legs. The baby was also made with 4ply acrylic in pink and white. The stable measures 27cm wide x 27cm high at the front x 13cm deep and is made from stiff card cut from boxes covered with fabric/felt.
