Add additional characters to your needlepoint nativity. This 3-part pattern is part of the Nativity Series and features a separate full-color needlepoint chart for a shepherd, sheep and angel.
The figures can be worked in any variety of stitches, and trimmed with embellishments such as beads, buttons and ribbon.
Since only a small amount of thread is needed for each figure, these are perfect scrap-basket projects.
You can also stitch and add more figures to your Nativity, including the Holy Family and the Three Kings.
For best results, finish them as stand-up figures.
