Crunch the Gingerbread Friend - 16 Page PDF

For me and quite possibly many others too, nothing says Christmas more than of the smell of cinnamon and ginger. Either baking yourself or coming home to the smell of baked biscuits like gingerbread men, they just warm my heart and make you feel all festive inside.

Whats new? You now can make four Gingerbread Friends in one pattern. My new sit down/stand up options in both the girl and boy Gingerbread Friend will really diversify your next make.

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished gingerbread man will measure around 15cm/6" tall.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice.

You'll need to know how to:

• make a Magic Ring or a chain 2 equivalent
• work in a round
• single crochet
• increase/decrease
• half double crochet
• double crochet
• treble crochet
• front/back loop only
• slip stitch
• bobble stitch (photo tutorial is included)
