CROCHET NATIVITY SET – FREE CROCHET PATTERN
What you need:
– Size F hook (just make sure your gauge is very tight, you shouldn’t be able to see stuffing or spaces between your stitches.
– Fingering Weight Yarn: I cannot suggest Palette Yarn by WeCrochet enough. It is a 100% wool and has a gorgeous, rustic flair. I just love it and I only use this yarn for my sets!
For those who want to know which exact colors I used for my set, these are what I used:
Almond (tree trunk)
Rooibos Heather (reddish brown)–Weights like small washers or river rocks to weigh down the bottoms of the figures.
– Creche and Pedestal:
If you would like to purchase a creche to display your finished nativity set, I recommend this Etsy shop. They are beautifully made.
The free version includes the main figures: Mary, Joseph and Baby/Manger. Get the links below:
Additional figures are includes in the downloadable PDF; these figures include 3 wisemen, 2 shepherds, a palm tree, a small laying sheep, and an angel.
You can get the PDF in my shops:

xoxo,
A lot of the yarn colors you have listed are out of stock, is there another brand of yarn you would recommend? I’m asked by a family member to make for her kiddos 😍
I am sorry! I can’t recommend any other yarn, as I have only used this one. There are lots of neutrals you can choose that I think would work really well. I haven’t found another kind with the same array of colors and rustic look. I am sorry I am not more help!
Totally fine! Thank you for your response!!
Nooo, you took the patterns down! 😆 I totally understand, it was generous for you to offer them for free, but I’m sad because I smack dab in the middle of making this darling nativity.
They are available in my shop and in my Endless Bundle! I want to keep designing crochet patterns and keep blogging, but everything is changing and I must make changes to make this blog viable, I am sorry :( Thank you for understanding!
Are there any animals that go with this pattern?
Just one sheep, the link is the last link of the link list.

Hi Beth,
I am crocheting your nativity Mary. Some of your rows say to join and some do not say join. Is that an over sight or do I really not join?
Sorry about that! You will join every row.
Thank you!!
I can’t get the stable link to open.
Hm, I’m sorry it appears to be working for me! You can search it straight on Etsy, the shop is called JJLadells
Thank you for sharing! I love the set and it is easy to work.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for making this pattern available for us. I love it. It was a lot of fun to make. I still need to get the shepherds’ hooks and a crèche, but otherwise it is finished.
