Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on the classic gingerbread design—introducing the Gingerbread Girl and Boy amigurumi! These delightful holiday characters each have their own special touches: the boy wears a cute bow tie, while the girl has a bow tie styled as a hair clip. Both are designed with a soft and cozy texture that will make them perfect additions to your Christmas decorations or handmade gifts.
