About this pattern

A smiling gingerbread cookie with white icing and red buttons, outlined in black on a navy background. The 50 × 57 chart becomes a 38 × 43 in blanket in worsted yarn, with all 106 diagonal rows written out one by one. A fun throw for a kid's bed in December, and it goes well with the Ginger the Gingerbread Bear toy.
