    About

    This is my most recent project, he’s my largest toy Gingerbread man. I think he’s just the right size for a child to cuddle, but he’s still a super fast, last minute knitting project. I made him in just one evening, whilst watching TV.
    For this largest cuddly fella, I use King Cole Super Chunky yarn. I knitted him using big chunky knitting needles, they are the “drumsticks” you can see in the photo!

    You can also see I used less than one ball of yarn.

      Hi Claire,
      Did you use the same pattern for the small gingerbread man but just used the thicker wool and needles?
      Many thanks
      Linda

        That's exactly right. I've written a blog post which tells you a bit more, maybe you'd like to take a look?
