The basic method for knitting these gingerbread men is simple. Beginning at the feet, you knit a rectangle, shaping at the top for a head. When the body is sewn together and stuffed, the arms and legs are defined by stitching through all layers. Add the embroidered features and trim with dark brown, white and red yarn.
