These sweet little Gingerbread men come with their own wardrobe of festive outfits, ready for you to mix and match.

You can knit your gingerbread friends, then dress them up in a stripy elf hat and waistcoat, or a cosy bobble hat and scarf—whatever suits your mood!

Feel free to sew the clothes in place and add a little hanging loop for a festive decoration, or leave the outfits removable for quick and cheerful costume changes.

The heads, bodies, and legs are all knitted flat in one piece. Simple increases shape the arms, and you’ll just slip those stitches onto holders while you finish the body and legs—easy as can be!

I’ll guide you every step of the way, so even if you’re fairly new to knitting, you’ll soon have your own cheerful little gingerbread people to share or keep. There’s even a photo tutorial for making mini pompoms—quick, fun, and sure to make you smile.

Placement stitches show you exactly where to position the eyes and full alternative instructions are included for embroidered eyes/ buttons.
