 Before we start crocheting let’s get acquainted :)

My name is Evgenia.
Like many other crocheters, I was involved in amigurumi making when I
had been in my maternity leave. I have three years of crochet
experience, and during a half of them I have been designing my own
toys and writing patterns.
Along with the toys making I fell in love with photography. I finished two
educational modules in a photography school. And now I successfully
reconcile two of my passions.
My toys are simple, without complicated details, but still they are very
deep, with their own character and story...

Distribute the stems behind the window and behind the door in the
6 following order: dark green, green, dark green (photo 2).
Sew the stems in the same way as the stems for the bushes (photo 3).
Frame for the house:
At first we need to measure the circumference of the part. For this we
need thread and a cardboard bottom of the house.
Wrap the thread around the bottom as shown in photo 5, cut the
thread with a small margin of 2 cm (0.79 inches). Measure the thread
without stretching it. I got 36.5 cm (14.37 inches).
Now measure the height of the house wall as shown in photo 6. My
house wall height is 6.5 cm (2.56 inches).
7 So, we will need a piece made of cardboard, a rectangle 36.5*6.5 cm

8 (14.37*2.56 inches) (photo 7).

Cut the part out of cardboard, which can be
easily bent.
To make the cardboard piece to fit better to
the house, join it with the bottom using a duct
tape. Also fasten the sides of the cardboard
piece with a duct tape.
Insert the cardboard piece into the house.

5 Attach a pistachio thread to the front loop of round 28 and crochet 160
sl st around (photo 1).
Do not cut the thread, we will continue crocheting.
Work another round of sl st between rounds 27 and 28. We will
crochet this round so that the roof fits more tightly to the house.
Crochet like this:
1. Pass the hook between the loops of rounds 27 and 28, catching
both fabrics (photo 2). Bring the loop out as shown in photo 3.
2. Pass the hook again through the next loop between rounds 27 and
28, grab the yarn and pull up another loop. You now have 2 loops
6 on your hook (photo 4). Now pass the second loop through the
first, crocheting a sl st. You have 1 loop on your hook again.
Repeating the second step, crochet this round in a circle, grabbing
both fabrics (photos 5 and 6).
The main roof is ready. The bottom of the roof should fit fairly tightly to
the main part of the roof (photo 7).

House assembly:
Sew the finished roof (photo 1) to the house. Sew the roof using the loop-to-loop method,
grabbing one loop from below and a loop located exactly above it (photo 2). When the roof is
halfway sewn, add fiberfill into the house (photo 3). Then add more fiberfill when the 1/3 of the
roof is sewn. Do not overstuff the house in the roof area so it won’t be to distorted. Due to the
frame, the house will keep its shape well.
We just need to crochet a few more details and the house will be ready!
