Bobble Gingerbread Crochet Pattern
Hooked for the Holidays Day 10
Day 10 brings you the counterpart to the Bobble Elf: the Bobble Gingerbread! This pattern DOES use a bobble stitch, but it is named for the shape of its body! This little Gingerbread is no sew and sure to steal the hearts of everyone on your market tables. This is a perfect holiday project for beginner crocheters, too!
