Crochet Gingerbread Head

November 14, 2018

Did you know I have a YouTube Channel? Probably not, because I just started really using it! I’ve been getting a lot of requests for video tutorials so in addition to my blog posts and written patterns I am diving into the world of YouTube! I have a lot to learn about making full video tutorials but luckily my friend Kristen from GoodKnitKisses was in California this past weekend at YouTube Studios LA. I met up with her and we collaborated on the filming of these adorable Gingerbread Heads! She has already taught me so much and I can’t wait to bring you many more crochet video tutorials! Be sure to subscribe to RepeatCrafterMe on YouTube HERE and also subscribe to GoodKnitKisses HERE.

I had such a great reaction from my Snowman Heads that I thought, hmmm I could easily adapt this pattern into a Gingerbread Head! So let me walk you through the entire pattern with the help of GoodKnitKisses – and I hope you enjoy some of our giggles and outtakes 🙂 You can find the Crochet Snowman Head Pattern HERE.

Add a loop at the top to make it an ornament if desired!

Cheeks (make 2):

Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, join, fasten off leaving long tail.

This photo is eye opening for me. Kristen’s Gingerbread head is the first one in the photo. Much smaller than the ones I crocheted! This confirms that I am in fact a loose crocheter and I need to keep that in mind when I am posting my patterns.

These heads would make an adorable ornament, gift topper, tablescape decor, plushie (make a body for it!), bunting, mantel decor, wreath embellishment, door decor (tie to a door knocker) and more!!

A big thank you to GoodKnitKisses for helping me with this video and sharing her knowledge of youtube! You can follower here on GKK Facebook, GKK Instagram, and GKK Youtube.

    I’ve tried a few links in this post. I get a “virus” response and they don’t go to your pages. Just wanted to let you know.

    The lesson of doing things right in a calm manner is outstanding. Being a parent, I have always tried to teach my child such beautiful and moral lessons. I believe that it is necessary for making him an excellent citizen. Whenever I asked my child to hire a writer online for assignment help he first reads reviews of the people about him on essayyoda.com source because he believes they share honest reviews about writing service.
