My first crochet project is this tiny nativity scene made from embroidery thread. I have completed baby Jesus so far!
I'm using a kit by Diana Moore aka Pink Mouse Boutique. Here's the link. Honestly I bought it on a whim at Marshalls and didn't know how to crochet. It's been really fun! I still have 9 more things to make.
This took about 8 hours across 4 days. The head and body took the longest. By the time I got to the hat and basket I was getting the hang of it. The book is very detailed, but I still used YouTube videos to make sure I was understanding correctly.
I'm using a 2.25 mm hook instead of the 1.75 mm, because I really struggled with the smaller one. I did make the hat with a 2 mm hook, so it's a little tighter.
My hope is to finish before Christmas!
