Baby Jesus is a stuffed doll and part of the Wee Nativity. He is worked in the round from the bottom up.

Yarn: This project is ideal for small amounts of leftover yarn. The baby as pictured uses sport-weight wool for his body and hair, and sport-weight cotton for his face.

Supplies:

• 4 US size 5 double-pointed needles
• polyester fiberfill
• tapestry needle

Gauge: Gauge is not that important. Use needles that give you a reasonably tight fabric (so there’s no fiberfill escaping) and you should be all right.

Finished Measurements: The baby will measure approximately 2 inches tall.
