This is the first part of a series of twelve patterns for a three-dimensional knitted box scene. The remaining eleven parts will be published on alternate days in December 2018. There is also a preliminary pattern, ‘A White Christmas’, which has a full materials list and instructions on knitting some of the bigger pieces.

This pattern is for the two sets of hidden supports which hold the frames in place. They are made of strips of plastic canvas laced together, with any sides that will show on the finished piece being covered with knitting.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
