Bible people to make…

where to find the knitting pattern to make Bible people

I like to use a story bag at toddler group story time. I find it holds the interest of the children and adults better than a picture. My mum is a great knitter and made some Bible characters for me. If you are able to have a go at making some then click on the photo of the Knitted Bible People to go to the main post where a link to the pattern is available. Happy knitting 🙂 and even happier storytelling
