Knit our collection of Christmas carollers in Laura Telfer-Williams' new knitalong
This intrepid group of singers are braving the coldest winter nights to cheer our hearts with festive tunes. The whole set can be made with small amounts of DK yarn. We love their Victorian-inspired outfits and the scene is completed with a traditional lantern post. If you’re not giving these to young children, you can use a coil of craft wire to help them stand, just like we’ve done - the fake snow is optional! We start with our lovely lady donkey in a pretty red dress.
