13 pages with photos and some step-by-step instructions

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.

The basic doll pattern is similar to the previously published Nativity set, however, the dolls are slightly smaller and the parts are made simpler. Outfits are secured to the bodies.

The animals are in a sitting position.

You may want a variety of colours, however, the quantities are small. Feel free to use your stash. Please see the yardage information as a guide.
