Start by crocheting simple gingerbread shapes (use a gingerbread man pattern or make a simple loop to form the body and arms). Then use red crochet thread for the outline of the gingerbread man and leave space to add scarf details.
Crochet a small red hat for each gingerbread shape. You can add a little white pom-pom at the top of each hat to make it extra festive. Secure the hat to the top of each gingerbread shape using hot glue.
Crochet small scarves for each gingerbread shape using white, red, or green yarn. Then attach the scarves securely with glue.
Once all the gingerbread figures are ready, use thin wire or string to connect them in a garland fashion.
