Here’s a quick and easy crochet pattern for a festive little gingerbread man (or woman!), about the size of an actual cookie (4 in/10 cm tall, not including the hanger). It’s easy enough for a beginner to make. First you’ll crochet the head in the round, then continue in rows to make the body. It’s also a great stash buster since it doesn’t take much yarn. You’ll also need a little stuffing and a tapestry needle--I bet you already have everything you need.

This free pattern includes lots of photos and descriptions, I hope you enjoy it! So put on your Santa hat, and let’s get crocheting! :)
