With this free crochet pattern, you can easily do your own gingerbread man or woman.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a little bit of brown yarn (depending on the\nweight of your yarn you will need up to half a skein (25g) of it) and 10 g or\nless in white or pink fpr the icing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bits and pieces (about 25 cm) of yarn in black,\nred and two bright colors for the buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crochet hook, which is slightly too small for\nyour yarn (I use 3.0 when 4.0 is recommended)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needle, Scissors and everything else you need to\nbe confortable while crocheting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. R: Put\nlegs next to each other. The leg of which you cut the yarn of is lying on the\nleft, the other one on the right. toes are pointing outwards. Your hook is\ninserted into the loop of the last stitch of leg 2. Now, insert hook into the\nstitch of leg 1 which is nearest to it. Pull yarn through to start your first\nsc, then do 5 sc around leg 1, change to leg 2 as you have done before and do 6\nsc around leg 2. You should have done 12 sc altogether. <\/li>

Then pull yarn through all three loops.
