    Week 2 – Gingerbread Man

    September 14th, 2009

    Gingerbread Man Ornament

    Now, I haven’t fully decided how I want to decorate this guy, so that’s why he has no face!  Although honestly, I’m kinda temped to just leave him like that, I kinda like the look.  Maybe I’ll just wait and see what everyone else does before I decide =)

    Items needed:

    Size “G” (4.25 mm) crochet hook

    Brown worsted weight yarn

    White worsted weight yarn

    Any fun items or yarn you need to give this guy the face you want!

    Abbreviations:

    Ch: chain

    Dec: decrease

    Inc: increase

    Sc: single crochet

      The sweater was quick and easy. I really like how it turned out. Thanks for the crochet-along. I hope to be able to do them all.
