PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.

This is done in the back loops and all in the same st. Attach the toffee yarn on the 4th st of the body, ch2, hdc, ch2, sl st in same st.
F/O, secure and weave in the ends. Repeat the same process on the 14th st.

F/O, secure and weave in the ends. Repeat the same process on the 10th st.
ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
EYES...using black felt, make 2 small circles and place them in the position you like best. For the gingerbread man that is bitten, use black embroidery floss or thread and embroider sideways "v's". Make them however you like, the possibilities are endless.
