I am here today with a different gingerbread man design. The gingerbread I will share today is designed in the shape of a girl and a boy. We see that the boy-shaped doll has a bow tie, but the bow tie of the girl-shaped gingerbread doll is used as a hair clip. I do not know what brand of yarn was used in making the toy, but its texture seems quite soft.
Gingerbread Girl and Boy Amigurumi Pattern
Also, from what I understand from the texture of the yarn, I think you can get a very durable toy. No information is given about the crochet hook used, but it will be enough to choose a hook suitable for the yarn you will use.
