A perfect Christmas gift, this toy is fun to make and fun to play with! Made in a toasty brown comfortable cotton with dark brown accents, this amigurumi gingerbread man is worked in the round all the way down his one leg. The other leg is crocheted directly onto his body, and the arms are made separately and sewn on. You can leave off buttons, embroider buttons, or sew on vintage buttons--see the last photo for color and style ideas. Add a little fringed, detachable scarf, and he is complete! An economical gift, for the budget conscious stitcher. His chubby body is just the right size for little hands to hold, or to add a whimsical touch to Christmas decorations! Plus, you can make him in an hour or less. Written in standard American terms. Skill level: Easy.
