I made this wee man (his name is George) with DK wool, though you could use any yarn and an appropriate needle size to give you a nice tight fabric.

I’m not sure of the yardage but I’m positive you would get one gingerbread man out of a 50g ball of DK yarn.

George was designed for the K1 Yarns Children First appeal, if you are able to donate a George (please see the website for more information) then you will be entered into a draw to win some delicious Old Maiden Aunt Gingerbread Sock Yarn. All donated George’s will be sold to raise money for Children First.
