0:24
All the information you need is in the link in the description of this video
0:28

0:34
Now let's start crocheting this. Alright, super good. So with the light brown here we will start working this toy from the legs to the head, okay
0:51
And here we'll start with the magic ring or a magic circle. And you will crochet six single crochet
0:58
inside the magic ring. Okay? If you don't know how to make the magic ring or if this video is too fast for you
1:05
check the link in the description of this video. There is a video tutorial dedicated to all stitch and techniques I use here
1:14
One, two, three, four, five, six. Now let's put this and close it tight
1:19
And move on for the second round here. Your work six increases, having a total of 12 stitches
1:26
Okay, so here when I'm going to take. So here when I say increase means you will make two single crochet inside each stitch
1:35
My first one here is very tight. So here, two single crochet here, two single crochet in the next
1:43
And you work six times this, all of your increases. Again check the links in the description of this video
1:50
There is video tutorial dedicated to all stitches and techniques I use here
1:56
So if this video is too fast for you, check out the other videos in description
2:02
All right, here I want to show you that I like to double secure the beginning of my yarn
2:06
So what I do is I insert this into a sewing needle or a tapestry needle and I wave in in the
2:12
first round of the detail, okay? This is enough. All right. Now for the third round, you'll work just 12 single crochet here
2:25
I am living life dangerously and as you can see I did not add my stitch marker, but add
2:31
your stitch marker here it will help you a lot. All right, once you're done with the 12 single crochet here on the last stitch we will
2:43
work a color change. And then for the round number four you will work 12 single crochet
2:51
Here once again there is a link in the description of this video that will take
2:55
take you to the four most used ways to change colors in crochet toys and you can choose the one
3:00
that suits you better. All right, once again, when you arrive at the end of this round
3:07
you'll work a color change back to brown, all right? And here you work one more round
3:13
round number five, with 12 single crochet. So work your single crochet here
3:21
and this is how you should be looking like. What you're going to do? What you're going to do? is you will finish off one leg, you see, you fasten off this completely, and the second leg
3:31
we will continue working from here, all right? So now you chain three, so one, two, and three
3:41
You grab your finished leg and you pick one stitch here from the finished leg
3:48
Let me just put this, tuck this in, and you introduce the loop of your needle inside of this
3:55
stitch of the second leg okay and now we will work all the way around this will
4:04
have a total of 30 stitches all right three from the chain 12 from the leg
4:11
three from the other side of the chain and 12 from the leg you will work here
4:18
with you all of this round so let me just work here now the 12 single crochet
4:24
here from this leg and I will catch you up on the other side
4:31
Super good. Now here you work on the other side of the chains, okay
4:36
So you need to work here three single crochet, right? You have three chains, so you work three single crochet
4:47
Alright, now here the next and the first stitch of the other leg is this stitch where you introduce a loop of the
4:54
your needle, alright? Don't forget to work a single crochet there. And now you finish
5:00
working all the 12 single crochet from the other side, from the other leg. Once you're done
5:08
this is how you should be looking like, all right. Now here count how many stitches you have. Make
5:14
sure you have 30 stitches in total so you didn eat up any stitches on the way And I will add my stitch marker here In my case I just like to use a different color
5:27
a piece of a different color yarn. And you'll work for round 7 and 8, 30 single crochet
5:35
That's it. So you're going to work here these two rounds with 30 single crochet
5:39
Very simple and easy. You can stop the video here. And I will catch you up for the next round
5:46
All right. Check the links in the description below. If you need any help or leave me a comment
5:51
I will happy to respond you. All right. Now here I am in the last stitch of my round
6:01
And I will work a color change for the next round. So the next round, round number nine, you will work 30 single crochet
6:12
Okay? So here, just 30 single crochet in white. There is a link here showing you all the four most use ways to change colors in crochet toys
6:23
Check out over there. And we'll work here one more color change
6:29
We can cut this yarn, we don't need it anymore. And now we will work in brown round 10 to 16, 30 single crochet
6:42
Okay? So here you have a long way to go. I will catch you up in round 10 to 16
6:47
16. Stop the videos here and work your 30 single crochets. Great. See this? How beautiful. So this is around 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Right? Great. Now let's move on here. We'll start working decrees. And here for the round number 17, you'll work three single crochet, one decrease. Repeat six times and you should have 20
7:17
24 stitches at the end of this round. I will show you here the first repetition
7:22
Four decreases in crochet toys we do the invisible decrease is when you grab just the front loop of the stitch
7:29
and you finish your decrease. Alright, one, two, and three, and this is my decrease
7:35
Repeat all the way around. And move on for round number 18
7:41
Two single crochet, one decrease. Repeat six times and you should have 18 stitches
7:46
18 stitches at the end of this round. There is a link again with a complete tutorial very
7:52
slow showing you how to do the invisible decreases. All right in case you don't know. So repeat all
7:59
the way around. Super good. So this is how you should be looking like. I will stop here a
8:05
little bit to add a bit of stuffing material because as much you grow it's going to be a bit
8:11
harder to add, so stop here now, add a little bit of stuffy material
8:16
That's great. Now let's move on here for round number 19. You will work 18 back loop slip stitch
8:25
Okay, so here you grab just the back loop of the stitch and you work a slip stitch
8:33
Okay, back loop of the stitch and you work a slip stitch. There is also a video tutorial here on
8:41
dedicated about the back loop and front loop of the stitches. This will leave, you see
8:49
this is the slip stitches, this line over here is the remaining front loop of the
8:55
previous round. All right, remember this line here, we will use that for the next
9:01
round. So work all the way around and once you're done with all the stitches, look
9:07
you see, you can find a line the round with a slip stitch
9:14
So this line is the remaining front loop of the previous round
9:19
Alright, and these are the slip stitches. This will be facing inside of the toy
9:24
So we will ignore this round with the slip stitch. And you will work only in the front loop here of the stitch
9:32
Okay, you grab only the front loop and you work your repetitions
9:40
one single crochet and one increase. You will repeat this nine times. Okay, one single crochet
9:49
one increase. One single crochet, one increase. Repeat this nine times or all the way until
10:01
the end and I will catch you up again. Once again I did not add my stitch marker
10:07
so add your stitch marker over there. Once you're done, you see this is standing out here with the slip stitches
10:15
That is the round facing inside of the toy. This will create a very nice division between the neck and the head and the body
10:23
Now for the round number 21. You'll work two, single crochet, one increase
10:31
Repeat nine times, all right? And you should have here a total of 36 stitches
10:38
Okay I miss my stitch over here over here and here my increase Okay super good
10:55
Once you finish this round, we will work one more round with increase and this is the last round with increase for the round number 22
11:04
You will work five single crochet one increase, repeat six times and you will
11:09
should have a total of 42 stitches at the end of this round. This is the last round with increases, okay
11:18
So work here your repetitions. This is the first one we work together. Now you go all the way around
11:27
and then I'll catch you up at the end. Super good. Look at this. Very nice. Now we'll work here the height
11:37
the length here of the face of this gingerbreadman. And for round number 23 to 30, you will work 42 single crochet
11:48
Okay? Work your 42 single crochet here. Stop this video, work all the way up, and I will catch you up once you're done with these rounds
12:04
Very nice. So at the end of round 30, this is how much. how you should be looking like. So this is the three rounds with increases. Okay, this is 23
12:13
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 30. All right, all the rounds are there. We will start working now the decreases
12:25
So here for round number 21, you will work 5 single crochet 1 decrease, repeat six times
12:33
and you should have 36 stitches at the end of this round. So let's work here the first repetition together
12:41

For the round 34 you work 2.6. two single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round, okay
14:13
Super good, repeat all the way around. Alright, now here we'll stop a little bit to add a bit of stuffing material here on the head
14:23
So you can add the stuffing material and once you're done you come back here, so we work
14:29
back here so we work our last round here. Super good. Great, this looks nice. Let's
14:40
add here the where is my stitch marker. And we'll work here our last round. So for
14:53
round number 35, you will work one single crochet, one decrease, brief
14:59
repeat six times and you should have a total of 12 stitches
15:04
All right. Repeat all the way around and I will catch you up once you're done. Great
15:23
So here now you can cut your yarn and leave a bit of tail here for
15:29
for fastening this off. You introduce this in the tapestry needle or in a sewing needle
15:36
And how you're going to work here is you will grab only the front loop of the stitch
15:43
You see, just the front loop. Here you don't need to pull it tight or anything
15:48
Just grab the front loop here of the stitch. Okay, we'll move fast forward here. We have 12 stitches here to grab
15:59
and once you grab all of them then you pull it tight So we will close this Okay Super good
16:13
Close this tight. And now I will do like I do in the beginning of the toy
16:19
We will wave in here on this last round. We'll just not waiting
16:26
We'll introduce this in the last round here, grabbing the stitches. hiding this tail a little bit and closing a little bit more the toy
16:36
All right? Great. This is super good
16:50
Cut this thread and look at this. Very nice. Now let's move on here and start working the arms of our gingerbread
17:00
And once again we'll start with a magic ring, our magic circle
17:10
But this time you'll work here five single crochet in a magic ring, okay
17:16
So let's work here our five single crochet. Super good
17:25
One, two, three, four, five. Close it tight the magic ring. Move on now for round number two, you will work five increases
17:38
And here you'll have a total of 10 stitches, okay? So again, work with your increase, meaning two single crochet inside one stitch
17:52
This is one increase. This is another one. Now move fast forward here
18:03
Okay, super good. I will just show you fast here once again to double secure the beginning of your thread
18:10
So this is very nice, closed and tight. And we'll move on here for the next rounds
18:20
Oops, I grab here my stitch. Okay. Here once again we will work just a couple of rounds and I'm not adding my stitch marker, so I'm living life dangerously
18:38
So add your stitch marker here so you don't lose your count. For round three and four, you work just 10 single crochet. Okay
18:46
Remember to count how many stitches you have on every round. this will help you to keep your track to keep on track
18:54
Once you reach the last stitch here of round number four, we will work a color change
19:01
So once again we'll add the white. And you'll work for round number 5, 10 single crochet
19:11
Alright, so work here your single crochets. And I will catch you up for round 5, 10 single crochet
19:18
catch up for the next rounds. Great. So here, once you reach the last stitch of this round, you will work one color change once again
19:35
And for round six to nine, you will work 10 single crochet. Okay? So now work your rounds here in brown, only with 10 single crochet
19:46
Very simple, very easy. And I will catch you up at the end of round number 9
19:51
Alright, here you can cut the white, we don't need whites anymore
19:56
I will just tuck this in. And we will add a little bit of stuffing material
20:03
Here is... Okay, this is too much. Add a little bit of stuff in material
20:11
and we will move on for our last round here, round number 10
20:15
Okay, once you add the stuffing material here, you will fold the arms in half with the first
20:27
just organized with the first stitch you know on the edge here because we will crochet the sides together
20:34
So for round to number 10, you will work five single crochet. When you fold the arms you have five single crochet in one side and five single crochet on the other side, right
20:44
and you will crochet them together. The first one is a bit tricky to get
20:48
because they are very near to each other is one beside another
20:52
but the rest one is very smooth and nice to crochet. So close your arms here
21:00
Close your arms. Close the arms here of the gingerbread men. Crochet together
21:07
This is my fourth and fifth and last stitch here. All right
21:14
This looks super good to me. Now let's cut this, leave a small tail here for sewing later
21:22
All right, and just like this one, you make another one. Tadda
