My first one here is very tight, so here two single crochet here so single crochet in the next and you work six times this. All of your increases again check the links in the description of this video. There is video tutorial dedicated to all stitches and techniques. I use here okay, so if this video is too fast for you check out the other videos in description alright, here I want to show you that I like to double secure the beginning of my yarn. So what I do is I insert this into a sewing. Needle or a tapestry needle - and I weave in in the first round of the detail, okay, this is enough all right now for the third round. You'Ll work just 12 single crochet. Here I am living life dangerously and, as you can see, I did not add my stitch marker, but add your stitch marker here. It will help you a lot alright, once you're done with the with the 12 single crochet here on the last Stitch, we will work a color change, okay and then for the round number four. You will work 12 single crochet here once again. There is a link in the description of this video that will take you to the four most used ways to change colors in crochet toys, and you can choose the one that suits you better. Alright. Once again, when you arrive at the end of this round, you'll work, a color change back to Brown. All right - and here you work one more round round number five with twelve single crochet, so work your single crochet here, and this is how it should be. Looking like what you're gon na do is you'll finish off one leg. You see you fasten off this completely and the second leg. We will continue working from here all right. So now you chain three, so one two and three: you grab your finished leg and you pick one stitch here from the finished leg. Let me just put this tuck this in, and you introduce the loop of your needle inside of this Stitch of the second leg. Okay, and now we will work all the way around. This will have a total of 30 stitches, all right three from the chain. 12 from the leg three from the other side of the chain and 12 from the leg, you will work here with you all of this round. So let me just work here now: the 12 single crochet here from this leg, and I will catch you up at the on the other side super good now here you work on the other side of the chains. Okay, so you need to work here. Three single crochet right: you have three chains, so you work three single crochet all right now here the next and the first Stitch of the other leg. Is this Stitch where you introduce the loop of your needle? All right don't forget to work a single crochet there, and now you finish working all the 12 single crochet from the other side from the other leg once you're done. This is how it should be. Looking like all right now here count how many stitches you have make sure you have 30 stitches in total, so you didn't 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 uh. Color, a piece of a different color yarn and you'll work for round seven and eight thirty single crochet. That'S it so you're gon na work here this two rounds with 30 single crochet, very simple and easy. You can stop the video here and I will catch you up for the next round.

We will use that for the next round, so work all the way around and once you're done with all the stitches look, you see you can find a line under the round with a slip stitch. So this line is the remaining front Loop of the previous round. All right in these are the slip stitches this will be facing inside of the toy, so we will ignore this round with the slip stitch and you will work only in the front Loop here of the Stitch. Okay, you grab only the front Loop and you work. Your repetitions, you make one single crochet and one increase. You will repeat this nine times: okay, one single crochet, one increase one single crochet, one ingredients repeat this nine times or all the way until the end, and I will catch you up again.

Number. 10.. Okay, once you add the stuffing material here, you will fold the arms in half with the first. Let me just organize with the first Stitch you know on the edge here, because we will crochet the sides together. So for round number ten, 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 and you will crochet them together. The first one is a bit tricky to get because they are very near to each other is one beside another, but the rest one is very smooth and nice to crochet. So Close, Your Arms here close your arms, close the arms here of the gingerbread man crochets together. This is my fourth and fifth and last Stitch here all right. This looks super good to me now. Let'S cut this, leave a small tail here for sewing later all right and just like this one, you make another one: tada
