Gingerbread Boy and Girl Ragdoll Style Amigurumi - Free Crochet Pattern

These crochet amigurumi gingerbread boy and girl are the perfect little holiday project.  This free crochet pattern comes with a video tutorial to help you make your own gingerbread stuffy. Make one for your favorite little in your life or use it as a cute addition to your home decor.

Scroll down for the free pattern and the video tutorial.

If you participated in my Christmas Granny Square Afghan CAL, these gingerbread may look familiar! They are made with the same basic construction as the gingerbread applique for the afghan, except they are larger and 3D!

Unlike traditional amigurumi, these gingerbread are made by crocheting in rows rather than rounds. Two 2D shapes are made and sewed together with a bit of stuffing inside to make it 3D!

This pattern only calls for chains and single crochets, so if you know how to do those two stitches, you're all set! 

Get creative as you'd like! As you can see, I made a girl and a boy by just moving the bow and using different colors for the bow and buttons.

I used Bernat Blanket for a soft and cuddly feel but you can easily double up a worsted weight yarn or use a different bulky weight yarn to achieve the same gingerbread boy or girl.
