Knitting for the home inspires many so much that having started knitting blankets, napkins, flowers, rugs, many cannot just stop. Even if you think that knitting for the home is not very practical, then I’m ready to argue with you, but what about grandmother’s knitted rugs, this is both a useful use of thread and a very practical rug. And what can you say about blankets knitted from multi-colored squares, in my opinion, it is simply impossible not to pay attention to such knitting. And if you don’t know how to decorate your house in an unusual way, then start with knitting for the house.

Today our master class is dedicated to the story of how to crochet a house with an elegant thatched roof with your own hands. This cozy toy house looks just magical!

Tools and materials Time: 4 hours Difficulty: 5/10

• natural jute in a skein;
• crochet hook 3.75 cm;
• white and cream yarn;
• felt of various shades;
• tapestry needles;
• scissors;
• fabric marker;
• textile Velcro;
• sewing machine or sewing needles and floss for decoration (optional).

Crochet crocheted house will look great on a shelf or fireplace! It can also be used as a toy for girls!

Initially, we wanted to knit just a cute craft for interior decoration, but since our little daughter actively uses it in her games, then why not, let her play! Our girl loves this house very much and we think it turned out really well.

We decided to make the roof half open so that small toys and miniatures could be kept inside the house. To do this, we left the back of the roof unattached so it can be easily opened and closed. In the course of work, we decided to add an opening door so that the characters could go inside, etc.

We also created some cute decorations for the house to change depending on the mood or the holidays. You can either make such miniatures on your own or purchase them in a craft store, we think there will be no problems with this.

Here we have a summer picnic. This cake seriously made us feel hungry!

And here in the house is Halloween. Ghosts and a pumpkin give this craft a whole new meaning!

It's so much fun to make all these little things!

And yes, windows, doors and decorations can always be removed and reissued.

Notes

• The house is made with a base in the shape of a rectangle and with a slightly rounded roof tapering upwards.
• The top of the roof is knitted from twine, but can be made from other yarns.
• The dimensions of the house are about 8.3 cm x 9 cm. Each roof piece measures approximately 8.3 cm x 9 cm.

Step by step description with diagram

So, let's start knitting as soon as possible so that you can admire the result.

Step 1: tie the base

With hook size 3.75 cm and white yarn.

• Start: 13 air loops(hereinafter ce)
• Row 1: single crochets (hereinafter RLS) along the entire length of the row, ch 1, turn.
• Row 2: Repeat the first row.

Continue weaving sc until you get a nice square or rectangle measuring 8.3 x 9 cm.

When you have a rectangle of sufficient size in your hands, braid it around the entire perimeter with single crochets, 1 sc in each loop, 2 sc in the corners.

Step 2: Tie the Walls

To start weaving the walls, do sc in the front loop only. Mark your starting point with a marker. Leave a marked spot here so you can see your circles.

When you complete the first round, start in regular sc (not just in the front loop) for the rest of the rounds. You are working in circles despite having a rectangular base.

Continue weaving circles to build your walls. When your walls have reached a height of 7-7.5 cm, complete the last circle.

Step 3: Make Triangular Roofs

Select one of the sides to make a triangular roof.

• Row 1: * Attach yarn if needed and sc along the top side of the wall. Ch 1, turn.
• Row 2: 1 sc in first 2 sts together, sc all round, 1 sc in last 2 sts together*.
• Repeat from * to * until you have 2 or 3 stitches left on top. Fasten the threads and hide the ends in weaving.

Repeat this procedure for the opposite side of the house.

Step 4: Make a Thatched Roof

For the roof, you need to tie 2 small rectangles and attach them to the top of the house.

You have 2 options:

Option 1. Simple RLS at the top of the roof

• 1 row: ch 13, sc along the entire length of the row, ch 1, turn.
• Row 2: Repeat the first row.
• Repeat weaving the 1st row until you tie the entire roof.

Option 2. Openwork weaving of the roof

• Start: ch 13
• Row 1: Sc in each stitch, ch 1, turn.
• Row 2: *sc in first st, ch 1, skip st, sc in next st*. Repeat from * to * for the entire length of the row, sc in the last loop, ch 1, turn.
• Row 3: When you reach the length to cover the side of one triangle at the top of the roof, repeat Rows 1-2 for the remaining half of the roof.

Once you have woven 2 rectangles to match your roof, use tapestry needles and jute to sew them to the top of the roof. Leave the back of one of the long sides unsewn so that you can open it if desired.

Step 5: Make Windows and Doors

Windows are simply cut out of felt: use any colors and shapes you want. You can attach them with hot glue or sew on, or use Velcro (as we did).

Door

With cream yarn. Work a small rectangle of sc, with black doorknob stitch.

If desired, add additional decorations to the house that you want.

A wonderful do-it-yourself crochet house is ready! We hope that you enjoy our master class, and you will knit such a house to decorate the interior or for your baby! Happy holidays to you!

Knitted New Year's house in half-timbered style will charm both a little girl and a romantic girl.

Volumetric details - beams, coniferous garlands with toys. Removable "tiled" roof with a chimney. Inside the house - pink-lilac knitted walls. Doorway. A knitted Santa Claus with gifts is climbing the wall. Santa comes unfastened (on buttons).

The house can become a cozy home for a doll (medium-sized baby doll) or just decorate the interior.

Great gift for Christmas.

With small changes, it can easily turn into a summer house with flowers on the windows and a chimney sweep on the roof.

Materials: cardboard box - base, a piece of cardboard on the roof, milky, red, yellow, brown, white yarn.

Pins, thick "gypsy" needle, curved needle, Velcro - 2-3 cm, 2 buttons.

Knitting needles, hook. The number of needles and hook depends on the thickness and quality of the yarn.

Dimensions: house side = 13 cm. Maximum height with roof = 23 cm. Chimney height = 2.5 to 4 cm. Santa Claus = 10 cm.

The toy is knitted and crocheted.

Legend:

VP - air loop
RLS - single crochet

Master Class:

1. The basis of the house.

We take cardboard box. It is desirable that the cardboard was sufficiently dense. I have a thermos box.

We draw the silhouette of the planned house directly on the box. We designate the doorway, windows, roof slope. Cut out the piece. You can cut with scissors, but it is more convenient with a special cutter for cardboard (sold in hardware stores).

I cut out only the doorway, I decided not to cut out the windows.

2. We calculate the number of loops on the walls.

Attention! The diagram shows the overall structure of the final part. Both the scale and proportions will be different each time (it all depends on the specific base box).

The general scheme of a knitted wall with a knitting direction.

knitting first part A(indicated in pink in the diagram), then tied to it part B(marked in green on the diagram).

A) we measure the length of each wall (not on the diagram, but on a real cardboard base!). It was 12 cm for me.

B) Calculate the perimeter (this is the sum of the lengths of all walls). I have = 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48 cm.

IN) We knit a sample to determine the density of knitting. Knitting - front surface.

The number of needles will depend on the thickness of the selected yarn. My yarn was medium thickness, knitting needles No. 3. I cast on 20 stitches, knitted 10 rows. 20 loops gave 10 cm. The knitting density turned out to be 1 cm = 2 loops.

G) Final number of loops for cast on = 2 loops × 48 cm = 96 loops.

I discarded 6 loops, since the knitted fabric should be a little tight on the base.

3. So, we knit the walls (2 parts - front and inside).

Spokes. We collect 90 loops and knit a rectangle stockinette stitch. The color of the yarn is milky. In the diagram - part A. The direction of knitting is shown with a black arrow.

Next, we knit triangular parts (under the roof). The direction of knitting in the diagram is shown with red arrows. We divide 90 loops into 4 parts (I have these parts are equal, since all sides of the house are the same length). I distributed 90 loops as follows: 23 loops + 22 loops + 23 loops + 22 loops.

On segments No. 2 and No. 4, we close the loops. We knit segments No. 1 and No. 3 each separately. To make a triangle, at the beginning of each row we knit 2 loops together, that is, we make a decrease.

Related part a.

4. Knit part B.

First, we determine the place for the doorway and calculate the number of loops for the set. I decided that my door would be under the triangular part.

23 loops (number of loops on the triangular side) divided into 3 parts = 8 loops + 7 loops + 8 loops.

7 loops - doorway. The rest is the front surface.

We collect front loops on the front side of part A. 75 sts (22 sts + 23 sts + 22 sts + 8 sts). Knit with front stitch yarn of milky color.

You can knit to the bottom, but I decided to make a strip of “foundation” at the bottom, so I knitted the last 3 centimeters with gray yarn (see description below).

We tie a part of the wall behind the doorway.

The photo below shows the part already stretched onto the frame. I'm sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the front of the wall. How the detail should look like as a whole (part A and part B) can be understood by the inner pink part of the house (see below).

The junction of part A and part B is almost invisible.

4a. Foundation:

knitted with gray yarn in convex pearl knitting:

1 row: * 2 facial, 2 purl *
2 row: according to the drawing
3rd row: *purl 2, knit 2*
4 row: according to the drawing
Close all loops.

5. We knit the inside of the house in the same way.

You can make a monochromatic version, you can make walls in 2 colors. I made part A pink, part B lilac.

Important point! The inner side is knitted in a mirror image. With further stitching, the parts will be folded with the wrong side to each other.

The inside of the house (mirror in relation to the front).

6. Connection of parts.

We fix the front and inside of the house with pins on the frame. The fabric should be pulled tight.

Leave the house for a couple of days in this form - the canvas will stretch. You can put it for a couple of hours in a humid room (bathroom, kitchen).

If, when pulling the canvas, the frame of the house suddenly began to bend or break (this happens with cardboard), do not be lazy - stick another layer of cardboard on the frame. A shoe box will do.

6a. When the canvas stretches a little, remove the pins.

We connect the front and inner sides of the house (upper part) RLS. Crochet both parts at once. See photo below.

We connect the top of the parts with single crochets.

We carry out a side seam.

We put the connected house on the frame (from top to bottom). We tie the bottom (including the doorway) similarly to the top.

We sew with a thick needle through the ends of the house so that the canvas stretches well along the walls.

7. Roof

3 parts - 2 front and one internal. Hook.

A) We make a rectangular frame out of cardboard. A fold line runs along the middle of the part.

B) We knit the front "tiled" side with a viscous "crocodile skin".

Master class on " crocodile skin" Look .

In order for the “tile” to look down on both sides, each side of the roof slope is knitted separately. Then both "tiled" parts are folded inside out to each other and connected next to the RLS (see photo below).

IN) We knit the inside of the roof with yarn of a different color. I have burgundy. We connect the outer and inner sides: we tie the parts around the perimeter of the RLS, capturing both parts at the same time. Don't forget to insert the cardboard frame inside!

You can make a plain roof, I alternately knitted a red row, then an orange one. Looks very picturesque. The house is already ready. All that's left is the exterior decor.

8. Beams (half-timbered construction).

Hook. Thick dark brown yarn. We knit VP chains of the desired length.

Looks like a "estimate" something like this.

When the final option is selected, we begin to sew the connected beams to the base. It is convenient to use a special curved needle. These are sold in craft stores.

A curved needle will make it much easier to sew the beams to the walls.

When distributing beams, do not forget about openings for windows.

The sides of the house with sewn beams.

9. Windows (2 parts).

Spokes. Yellow yarn.

We knit two rectangles of the desired size with the front stitch. We embroider a frame on each rectangle with a thick white thread. We sew the windows to the base with the same white thread.

Window.

10. Coniferous garlands.

Hook. Yarn - "grass" dark green. We knit VP chains of the desired length, we knit a row of RLS along the chain.

1 garland on the doorway, 2 garlands under the windows.

We sew garlands to the house.

We sew multi-colored beads on garlands.

11. Roof mounts.

We sew Velcro on the roof and the house.

Velcro will help the roof to hold on to the base more firmly.

12. Chimney.

Hook. Yarn - brick-colored cotton.

First, the fabric is knitted, then it is sewn together and the top is tied to the pipe - the lapel.

Chimney.

We knit a chain of 10 VP.

• 1 - 5 row: 1 lifting loop, RLS
• 6 row:"crawl step"
• 7 row(behind the back wall of the “crustacean step” or clasping the columns of the previous row from the wrong side): 1 increase in the first loop, then RLS
• 8 row:
• 9 row: 1 lifting loop, 1 increase in the first loop, then RLS
• 10 row: 1 lifting loop, RLS, in the last loop - an increase
• 11 row: 1 increase in the first loop, then RLS
• 12 row:"crawl step"
• 13 row(behind the back wall of the "crustacean step" or clasping the columns of the previous row from the wrong side): RLS
• 14 - 17 row: RLS
• 18 row:"crawl step"
• 19 row(behind the back wall of the "crustacean step" or clasping the columns of the previous row from the wrong side):
• 20 row: RLS, at the end of the row - decrease
• 21 row: 1 decrease at the very beginning, then RLS
• 22 row: RLS, at the end of the row - decrease
• 23 row: 1 decrease at the very beginning, then RLS

We tie the upper part of the pipe (smooth) from the front side in a circle.

• 1 row: RLS
• 2 - 3 row: RLS, at the corners, 1 increase
• 4 row: RLS

We turn off the upper part of the pipe and knit a circular row of the “crustacean step” (as if on the wrong side). We sew the pipe to the roof.

I tried to shoot a knitted pipe against the background of the same real pipes. The house itself, alas, is not in half-timbered style!

13. Santa Claus.

I really like such street decorations: Santa Claus, Santa Claus, who climb the wall, sit on the roof by the chimney, hang on rope ladders. I decided to decorate my house with such a figure.

The figurine is assembled from separate parts, knitted and crochet.

We sew buttons on Santa's mittens and on the house. At any time, Santa can be removed and moved, for example, to the roof to the pipe.

Santa Claus climbs on the roof.

I did not begin to describe in detail how to tie such a Santa. The master class turned out to be voluminous. If someone needs a description, write in the comments - I will add. I have notes left.

The house is ready. The decor can be completely different: Christmas trees, snowmen, tinsel. Back side of the house. A little "snow", Santa's staff at the entrance - and here New Year! Link your Christmas house!
