Super good. We will move on here now and we'll work the top of this
0:07
Gingerbread man, okay, we will start with the cherry here. We will crochet together first the cherry and then
0:14
the top of the hair the head So for the first round you work six single crochet in the magic ring
0:22
Remember if this video is too fast for you check the video only about the magic ring
0:27
It's very slow in detail and will help you there, right? Let's close this tight
0:33
And for the next round here, just give a little bit of yarn
0:39
For the next round here, you work six increases and you have a total of 12
0:45
stitches here at the end of this toy, at the end of this round. So here two single
0:53
crochet next increase here two single crochet and so on continue here your
1:02
increases and I will catch you up on the next round very nice here once again I will remind you to double secure the beginning of
1:14
your yarn so it's very nice and closed but this time we'll do something
1:20
differently, alright? We will bring this remaining tail here to the outside of the
1:27
toy, okay? So in the central part here bring this yarn here and just leave it
1:33
there for now. This will be later on the pentacle of the cherry, okay? So for now
1:39
just leave it there and let's move on here. We will work one round with 12
1:44
single crochet. So for round number three you work here 12 single crochet
1:52
So work here your single crochets and I will catch you up for next round
1:59
Super good! Look at this! Very nice! All right now we'll add here my stitch marker
2:05
that I forget from time to time. And for round number four you will work six
2:12
decreases and you should have six stitches here at the end okay so one
2:19
increase for decrease following up by another one so this is my first decrease
2:25
my second decrease here and continue here all the way around until the end of
2:33
this round at the end here of this round I am making now my last decrease my
2:42
We will stop here for a color change. Okay, and now for round number five, you will work in the front loop of those six stitches, and you will make six increases, okay
3:01
So here grab just the front loop. All right, like this is the full stitch. You don't work like that
3:09
you work grabbing here only the front loop this is the effect that we are
3:14
searching for and we need to work only in the front loop okay so this is my
3:20
first increase front loop only my second increase here and you repeat all the way
3:31
around only front loop all right okay and once you're done this is how we
3:40
should be looking like we can cut the red collar here we won't need it anymore
3:46
and let's just quick organize this we will tuck this in the cherry is very
3:53
small so I'm not adding here stuffing material I will just add I will just
3:58
tuck this tails inside and this is enough if you want more chubby chair cherry you
4:03
can add here stuffing material all right super good now let's move on for the
4:10
next round here I will add my stitch marker and now we are back working on
4:16
the full stitch we are not grabbing just the front loop we're grabbing the full
4:20
stitch you are one single crochet one increase repeat six times and you should
4:25
have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round. Okay? So here work your
4:31
repetitions. One single crochet, one increase, all the way until the end. And
4:40
this is how it should be looking like. Okay? Now for the next round, round number
4:47
seven, you will work two single crochet, one increase, repeat six times, and you
4:53
should have a total of 24 stitches at the end of this round. Super good! Work
5:00
your repetitions and I will catch you up at the end. Great! Let's move on here for
5:06
round number eight. Here you will work three single crochet one increase, repeat
5:12
six times and you should have a total of 30 stitches here at the end of this
5:16
round Okay my first repetition here with you 1 2 3 and then crease here Repeat all the way around and move on now for round number nine You will work four single crochet one increase Repeat six times and you should have 36 stitches
5:38
at the end of the round. Count how many stitches you have at the end of every round. That is a
5:45
golden tip. So everything gets right where it's supposed to be. Okay? So here one, two, three, four
5:53
increase. Repeat all the way around. Super good here! We are on the last round with
6:03
increases, now you work five single crochet, one increase, repeat six times, and
6:07
you should have 24 stitches at the end of this round, okay? So work here your
6:15
repetitions, your five single crochet and now the increase
6:26
Super good! Work all the way around, I will catch you up over there. Great! Now for
6:33
this round we are working a little bit different. You will skip the first stitch
6:37
okay? And you will work three double crochet on the next stitch. So this is one
6:45
double crochet, two double crochets, and three double crochet. And you will join
6:58
with a slip stitch in the next stitch. Alright? And this is what you're going to
7:06
repeat all the way until the end. So you skip the first stitch and work double
7:12
crochets. So, yarn over, inside the stitch pull a loop, yarn over, inside the first
7:20
two loops, yarn over, inside the other two loops, yarn over, inside the stitch pull
7:28
up a loop, yarn over, inside the first two loops, yarn over, inside the other two
7:35
two loops and you work like this making three double crochets and joining with
7:44
the slip stitch so this is the pattern okay skip one stitch three double
7:48
crocheted on the next join with the with the slip stitch repeat this all the way
7:54
around or it's 14 times yes that you're going to repeat here and I will catch you
8:01
at the end of this round, okay? Super good! Look at this! Very nice! Now let's leave here a long tail because we
8:16
will sew this on the hair... on the head, not on the hair. We don't have hair here
8:21
Okay, so now here I'll just organize this stitch. I'll pull this yarn here to the
8:28
back to the wrong side here of this detail. All right and let's leave here on the side for now. Now let's work here the
8:42
little flowers on the chest is the final, is the last detail of this pattern. So you
8:48
start once again with the magic ring and here is very simple. So you work here six
8:54
single crochet inside the magic ring okay
9:06
one more now we'll pull this tight to close and what you're gonna do here is just to
9:15
simply join with a slip stitch in the first stitch here that you work, right
9:25
super good! and that's it! very simple detail, super fast and easy to crochet
9:34
now let's cut this yarn. you leave a little bit room here for sewing and once
9:44
again we will bring this yarn here to the back side so it's easier for us to
9:49
sew it later. Okay, so you make one in green and one in red or in whichever
9:59
color you want to work. Now let's start assembling this gingerbread man. Here you
10:07
use pins to fasten because it helps you so much for the detail not to move. You
10:12
put here using the central part here together with the leg it's a very nice
10:17
in the middle of the leg and I will start sewing here the first arm with you
10:23
you can use your fingers to open up very much here the head and the body you don't
10:31
need to worry is very nice this technique that we did for the neck so you take
10:35
here in between the head and the body, it's where you introduce the needle, and
10:41
then you take one stitch from the arm. So the arm here has five stitches, right? So
10:49
you do this for five times I position my camera not such a nice way but you see you grab one stitch here from the arm and then once again you grab one stitch from the body between the head and the body
11:07
One stitch from the arm that you cannot see it pretty well, but you know
11:12
just grab one stitch from the arm. Let's take this out. And this is how you're going to repeat
11:19
It's very easy to sew. Oh This you could see a bit better
11:28
All right, so finish here sewing this arms and I will show you how to fasten this off
11:36
See the arms are nice and so here what I did it's I bring the tails in this outside in the same stitch and
11:46
Then we just give a simple knot here Okay. Now let's cut this thread
11:59
And we'll hide this inside the toy. Okay. Super good. Now let's move on here
12:08
And we'll add the flowers here. This chest detail in the center of his chest
12:15
And here also very simple. I'll give just two stitches here. Alright
12:21
you don't need to sew it all the way around, all the six stitches around, if you want
12:25
that's optional to you, but I'm always avoiding a little bit of sewing
12:31
That's why you have several patterns here that don't need to sew. So here I sew a little bit different, I bring the yarn outside of the stitch
12:40
from down to top, and here from top to down. That will bring this yarn out to the other side
12:51
Here I'm holding a bit weird because these pins are poking my finger from behind
13:00
Let's remove this. So here once again, here I show you, you bring the yarn from up, from down here to the up
13:11
of the stitch and the stitch next to it up to down, okay
13:18
And this for me, it's enough. I will just give this two stitches here
13:23
and I will bring this yarn outside of one stitch here in the back
13:31
And I will do it now the same thing with this other yarn here that we have remaining
13:39
We'll add here to the sewing needle. And I will bring this yarn back here in the same stitch
13:55
And then here, once again, what you're going to do is bring to the same one
14:01
And to fasten this off and secure, you give a simple knot and then you cut this and hide
14:08
on the back. Okay? So, once you're done, that's it. do the same with the green and now with the hair with the head topping my god
14:17
you add pins you fasten very nice here with the pins I always like to fasten
14:25
very much with pins because this prevents from moving and prevents from
14:29
you know sewing where you don't want so here you grab one stitch from the head
14:35
and one stitch from the topping here with the same way that you sew the chest
14:40
detail. So you bring the yarn up inside one stitch and you bring the yarn down on
14:49
the stitch next to it. So this you do here for the first one. And now for the
14:58
second one and so on. You will start sewing only in the spikes here. You don't
15:04
need to sew here all the stitches like I do in the most of the patterns when you
15:09
were sewing the hair, for example. Here I'll just do like this in the
15:15
spikes, okay? You have 14 spikes, so you'll do this 14 times. Yarn up, yarn down
15:22
on the next stitch, okay? And then you bring to the other spike here this thread
15:35
Okay, so once again here, yarn up, inside one stitch, yarn down, start inside the next
15:50
stitch, and you repeat this all the way around, okay? All in those spikes, one stitch you give
16:02
And this is how it should be looking like. That's very nice
16:07
Now with the yellow. This is, I, we will embroider here a couple of sprinkles
16:14
And I'm going fast here a little bit because this is very simple to crochet
16:19
In my case, I chose to do the sprinkles only in yellow because I think it's nice and it's
16:24
combining with the other Christmas ornaments from this collection But you can do colorful sprinkles you can do in blue you can do in red in green in any colors in all the
16:37
colors if you want. Here is very simple, you just save this thread here in the
16:43
beginning so you can secure at the end and you go sparkling around here, this
16:50
the way that you think it's nice. Okay, and once you're done, you give a simple
16:57
knot here at the end, like we show here a couple of times in this video. You cut
17:03
the thread and you hide inside of the head. Okay, super good! And that's it for
17:12
the sparkling. Very nice, the sprinkles are done. Now I'll show you how to
17:17
to embroider the eyes. In my toys I like to embroider the crochet. I like to
17:24
embroider the eyes. But if you are using the safety eyes, you can check the
17:30
written pattern in the description below. There is the exact position where I'm
17:34
embroidering these eyes, okay? So here we just thread a black thread. What I do
17:43
here is to make a couple of straight lines. Work here your straight lines
17:53
All right. Couple of straight lines here you work and this is the pattern. This is
18:04
what you're going to work. Just a bunch of straight lines. I'll move here a bit
18:12
fast forward because you need to do a lot of this repetition, straight lines
18:16
straight lines, straight lines until it's looking like a shape of an eye that
18:21
you like. Okay? And I will move on here for the next one and the next one I will
18:28
be doing off the camera. So here just for you to see this is looking all right for
18:34
me. I will catch you up once I'm done here. And I decided to make some eyebrows
18:39
you see here on the top of his eyes. All the positions of everything written in
18:50
detail, which round, how many stitches the distance between one another, you have
18:55
in the free written pattern in the description of this video. Alright? This is
18:59
looking very cute to me. So now once again what I'm gonna do here is to fasten
19:05
this off, so I'm gonna give a simple knot in the beginning here of this black thread
19:11
and we'll hide this inside of the toy. All right? Super good
19:21
Okay, hide inside. Now we will move on to embroider the mouth here. Very smiley mouth here
19:29
You can stop here. Majority of my toys I don't embroider eyebrows or smile, but some toys
19:36
I like to do this. And because gingerbread man, it's very characteristic to have
19:42
these features, I want to embroider this happy face on him. Okay? So this is very simple and easy
19:51
how you make this smiley face I'll just bring this here on the stitch one round
20:02
here under the mouth so we can secure this look at this this smile here let's
20:11
secure this smile here so it's not moving. Great. And the other one will secure
20:24
here too, so he will be always happy and smiling. Alright, now we'll bring here
20:32
this thread again to the same stitch as we started and we'll do the same thing
20:39
as we did here a couple of times in this video. So let's double secure this
20:45
Make a simple knot. Cut the thread. Hide it inside of the toy
20:50
And that's it. Oh no, it's missing the cherry top. Almost done
20:57
Okay, so look at this. He's very happy. Now let's work on this top here of the cherry, the pentacle
21:06
So you give just a simple knot here. on the top all right this you leave like one centimeter distance from the cherry to the knot not even one
21:25
maybe less you cut here and that's it now we're done the pentacle is done very easy
21:34
And your gingerbread man is done. I really hope you enjoyed this pattern and you had a good time crocheting it with me
21:45
And I will see you in the next pattern. Bye
