A handmade crocheted Nativity scene is something truly special! If you start now, you’ll have your own crocheted Nativity figures by Christmas, and they’ll be admired everywhere. And all you need are a few leftover yarn scraps, a crochet hook, and craft stuffing.  So get started right away!

It’s best to begin with the basic set. That’s the Holy Family with Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus.

The pattern also includes instructions for the donkey and the ox, as well as the poinsettia.

If you still have time and feel like it, you can expand your Nativity scene, for example with the shepherds, the sheep, and the Christmas angel

The pattern describes 2 different sheep and 3 different shepherds. By varying the colors, you can of course crochet many more of them.

And finally, there is also the crochet pattern for the Three Wise Men, an elephant, a camel, and an Arabian horse


If you don’t finish everything by Christmas, that’s no problem at all. Crochet a figure now and then throughout the year and enjoy watching your Nativity scene grow bigger year after year.

Depending on what yarn stash you have, your Nativity scene may look completely different, but in any case it will have your own personal touch. Isn’t that wonderful?

Bring some Christmas spirit to the breakfast table, too! With these pretty crocheted egg cozies, that’s guaranteed! The little angel, snowman, and Santa also make great decorations even if you don’t eat eggs for breakfast. Wouldn’t this be a great idea for a Secret Santa gift, too?
