I have been busy designing some crochet Nativity figures. They stand up on their own. So far I've made Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus...

Roman made the manger out of balsa wood and helped pose the figures...
Mary measures about 6cm or 2.5" and Joseph is a bit taller. Here's a close-up...
Before I stuffed Joseph and sewed on the base I wanted to show that the figures could be finger puppets too. The model below was Tiger-girl, (15 yo daughter), so Joseph fitted her pinky finger, but I think the puppets would be about right on a younger child...
The photo below shows the scale...
The patterns are publishing free, here on my blog... check out the left side-bar where I have other freebies. I plan to design some Shepherds, 3 Wise Men and an Angel and will add the patterns as I
finish them.
