This pattern is 14 pages long and contains loads of photos to help you every step of the way. It is written in American crochet terms.

You will need:

Yarn of your choice - yarn weight doesn’t really matter, the size of your project will simply turn out bigger or smaller! I used Patons Smoothie DK Yarn and my finished gingerbread man measures 12.5cm tall. You will need the following colours: Beige, red, white, pale pink, black, yellow, dark green and dark pink.

A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen - I used a 4mm hook.

Toy stuffing for the gingerbread man’s head and body.

A pair of safety eyes (I used 9mm eyes in black).

Other tools you will need are a tapestry needle, some scissors, pins and a stitch marker.

You are welcome to sell the items that you make using this pattern, but please do not sell / share the pattern itself. Thank you.
