Start a new Holiday Tradition by stitching your own needlepoint Nativity Creche. This 3-part pattern is part of the Nativity Series and features a separate full-color needlepoint chart for Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.
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 Three Kings and other creche characters.
For best results, finish them as stand-up figures.
