Nothing says “Merry Christmas, bite my head off” quite like gingerbread. If you’re as big a fan of the spicy little guys as I am, this is the pattern for you.
Adorn yourself in gingerbread folk, bright stars and some very retro sleeves with the Gingerbread Army Jumper.
Graded for sizes XS-5XL, this pattern has charts for you to follow to create your very own gingerbread gang.
Whether you choose a sugary sweet colour scheme like mine, or go for more traditional tones, you’ll be the gingerbread belle of the gingerbread ball.
This pattern uses DK yarn, a 4.5mm hook, a 3.5mm hook and measures approx 64cm long.
Please note, I made a size L sample for Crochet Now Magazine in 2024, but my bust sits in the S bracket so my jumper is particularly over-sized.
