Crochet Gingerbread Man

Here is a slightly bigger, updated version to my Crochet Gingerbread Man Cookie Pattern! I figured if I made this guy a little sturdier, he could be used for more decor… like on a wreath, strung as garland, tree ornament, dinner table place holders, etc. Plus, you can add more embellishments (like a bow) to your gingerbread man and make him a gingerbread woman! Can’t wait to see your versions!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Topaz and White, and a strand of Red. Shop colors on Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– 2 small Safety Eyes for the eyes and 3 slightly bigger Safety Eyes for the buttons (Do yourself a favor and get yourself THIS 100 PIECE BOX for only $6.99!!!) affiliate
– Tapestry Needle

Gingerbread man pattern: make 2

Start with the head:
Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 10 DC in ring, join to first DC, chain 2
Round 2: 2 DC in each stitch around, join, fasten off leaving a long tail.
Set aside!

Body pattern:
Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 10 DC in ring, join to first DC, chain 2
Round 2: 2 DC in each stitch around, join,
Round 3: Chain 7, TC (triple crochet) in 4th chain from hook and in remaining stitches of chain (you are now back to your stitches in round 2), skip 3 stitches and join with slip stitch to the 4th stitch over from round 2 (you have now made an arm), chain 10, TC in 4th chain from hook and in remaining stitches of chain, skip 3 stitches and join to next stitch with a slip stitch, chain 10, TC in 4th chain from hook and in remaining stitches of chain, skip 3 stitches and join to next stitch with a slip stitch, chain 7, TC in 4th chain from hook and in remaining stitches of chain, skip 3 stitches and join to next stitch with a slip stitch, do not fasten off, leave hook in loop and set down.
Pick up the head and stitch it onto the remaining stitches of body (see picture tutorial to clear up any confusion!)
Round 4: Pick hook back up and continue to single crochet around the entire gingerbread man body. When you come to the tips of the arms/legs, make at least 3 SC.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Stitch on a mouth and add safety eyes for the eyes and 3 buttons

Now you should have one gingerbread man with the face embellishments and one plain  guy.

Put them back to back and slip stitch the edges of the two together with white yarn. Work your hook right under the SC stitches.

Fasten off and weave in ends!

This is what the back will look like

Mister Gingerbread Man measures approximately 6 x 4.5 inches!

    • From her pictures, it looks like the first ch2 counts as a stitch – giving one 22 DC in the 2nd round for the head.

      My head (with only 10 dc first rnd, 20 dc 2nd rnd) is puffing forward and I don’t like it. :/

  21. Your gingerbread pattern is a great design. Having made the original I then adapted a smaller version using just 1 round for the head and core body and then chaining 7 for each arm and using hdc stitches and chaining 9 for the legs, also using hdc, So now I have an adult and child version!
