GINGERBREAD MAN - ORNAMENT

Calorie free treats anyone? How about some crocheted Gingerbread Men? :)
Decorate your Christmas Tree, windows, gifts and more with them! You can even stuff them if you like. But they look great flat as well.
Start today and crochet a whole bunch of them. :)

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet instructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
