Gingerbread Man Lip Balm Holder Keychain
Crochet Pattern
If you’re a beginner crocheter, and you want to craft some Christmas charms, this pattern is perfect for you 🙂
The Gingerbread Man pattern is minimalist in style, easy to work up and perfect for using up scrap yarn. It can be used as stocking stuffers for Christmas, gift toppers or sold at craft fairs if you like.
It’s part of a trio of Christmas Lip Balm Holder Keychain Patterns, so if you’d like the Santa & Snowman as well, have a look at these patterns below.
You could add the lip balm, lipstick or lip gloss to your Gingerbread Man cozy or simply print out these pre-designed Lip Balm Cards to insert into the cozy so that people know right away what it is 🙂
Are you gifting your Lip Balm Cozy or selling it at a fair? Insert these handy lip balm display cards to up your game 🙂

Notes
– You can make the pattern larger or smaller by changing the type of yarn and/or hook size. Depending on the size of your lip balm, lipstick or lip gloss, you might want to add a few rounds of white to increase height.
– Numbers at the end of each row (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that row.
– Please ensure that your lip balm is the size of the bottom of the holder after round 2.
– Insert your lip-balm, lipstick or lip gloss into the holder when you get to almost the end to see if you need to add a few rounds to adjust height.
– We’ll be working in the round, so a stitch marker is advised.
– Please note that I use US crochet terms.
