Are you looking for a creative activity during Advent? What could be more creative than designing your own nativity scene? You can crochet the nativity figures yourself. With my patterns for nativity figures, you do get detailed instructions, but when it comes to designing the figures, there are no limits to your imagination and creativity (at most, maybe your leftover yarn, but you can always buy more yarn, right?)
So your nativity scene can look completely different from my suggestion, even though both were made using the same pattern.
Just don’t put yourself under pressure! Start with just a few figures. To begin with, the Holy Family is enough. Little by little, shepherds, sheep, angels, ox and donkey, the 3 kings and their pack animals can be added. You can also work on them now and then throughout the year. You’ll see, it’s a lot of fun and joy!

Here are the patterns for it:
  Holy Family, ox, donkey, poinsettia


3 shepherds, 2 sheep, annunciation angel


  The 3 Wise Men + camel, elephant, horse

The crocheted nativity scene is especially popular with children, because with these figures no one has to worry about anything breaking. This encourages the
children to act out the Christmas story themselves.

On gray, dreary days, you can let your imagination whisk you away to a beautiful day by the sea...
Knitting the “Meeresgrund” cable-pattern scarf makes it so easy!

Round Colorful Rug - crochet pattern

This is a rug. It is round and colorful. And each rug looks different, depending on your color preferences and what you have on hand. Your imagination is needed. In every round, you’ll already be thinking about which color you’d like to combine next. That’s fun and exciting.

You can either use lots of different colors—see above—or decide beforehand which colors it should mainly have. That way it will also match the other colors in the children’s room. The back is rubberized so that it stays securely in place and doesn’t slip.



It could also be square, if you prefer ... You decide the size as you like. It’s a little addictive and you can hardly stop :-) With every round, the rug becomes more beautiful, more interesting, and bigger. The pattern is so simple that even crochet beginners can manage it—you just need a little perseverance.

I wish you lots of joy with all your projects—yours, Ina
