Gingerbread Helpers

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! This Christmas, Santa needs all the help he can get to make all his beautiful toys; enter the Gingerbread Helpers to the rescue! This little sibling duo can build train sets in the blink of an eye, and sew teddy bear limbs before you can even say “Gingerbread”, although you might find some cookie crumbs in your gift wrapping. The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Gingerbread Helpers áre worked with DMC Happy Cotton yarn, but any similar DK yarn will work, as well as with the “x” single crochet technique (yarn under, yarn over). Make sure to also start the other stitches with yarn under to keep the same tension throughout.
