"Peg" Nativity Pieces

"This nativity is meant for children, so they can have their own Nativity to display (or play with) at Christmastime! It doesn't take much yarn overall, so it's a good stash-buster or a low-cost project. In this set, Joseph stands at 4 inches (10 cm) tall, Mary is 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) tall, and Baby Jesus is 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) long. They are a simple design being crocheted to look like wooden peg dolls."
