This pattern is very quick to work up and can be use for a number of craft projects. Why not make two, place back to back and slip stitch around in white to make an iced gingerbread man? Or make one and hot glue to a gift tag or greeting card? You could even make multiple and attach with ribbon for some super cute festive bunting!

This patterns difficulty level would be intermediate and requires an understanding of the magic circle, single crochet, double crochet, increase and treble crochet stitches. There is a sewing element to this pattern.

Using a 4mm hook and Stylecraft special DK yarn produces a gingerbread man approximately 4” in height.
