This is a pattern for knitting a stuffed toy Gi – the gingerbread doll. The toy is knitted entirely in the round, with the legs, body and the head made in one piece. The skirt and ribbon are knitted flat (back and forth). If you don’t like sewing up, this pattern is for you.

MATERIALS: beige DK yarn - approximately: 20 - 30 g
String of strong black thread for the mouth and
eyelashes
Handful red and white DK for the ribbon and
contrasting stripes on the body
and the skirt.

KNITTING GAUGE:
24 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 2.5 mm needles.

Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tight enough to make sure the stuffing would not show through the stitches.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 19 cm/ 7.48’’
The size will vary based on yarn type, needle size and your personal tension.

1 x 2.5 mm double pointed needles
