What you need to know

We're onto part four! Our Shepherd is ready to take centre stage, complete with his cosy coat, jaunty hat and plenty of clever shaping, while his woolly little sidekick is sure to have you falling head over heels. With increases and decreases shaping their tiny bodies and heads, plus sweet embroidered details, floppy ears and a perfectly petite tail, there’s plenty to keep your needles busy. Once they’re stitched, stuffed and all sewn up, these two will be right at home among the rest of your nativity characters. Keep an eye out next week for part five, when our Christmas Angel will be taking flight!
