Cut the yarn for the first leg but leave it attached on the second leg.

Ch 1, turn your work, sc 6, make 1 sc in the ch 1, sc 6 = 13

Ss to the st on the body, make 1 sc in the same st that you ss into, sc 18.

Cut the yarn and make your second gingerbread man.
Buttons
Make a slipknot, ch 2, make 6 sc in the first ch that you made, ss to the top of the first sc = 6
Once you have made the 2 gingerbread men sides attach the eyes and any other details you would like.
Take the white yarn, place the two gingerbread men sides together and stitch along all the sides with sc, make a ss in the
corners of the neck instead of a sc and make 3 sc on the corners of the arms.
Stuff the arms and legs as you go so it’s not so hard to stuff at the end.
