Round 14 :
6 sc, inc, (12 sc, inc)*5, 6 sc =84 sc (84)
Round 15 :
(13 sc, inc)*6=90 sc (90)
Info :
To make the completion of the circle more accurate, after the last increase crochet another 1 sc and then 1 sl st. Leave a long end of the thread.
β Canvas & Walls :
Info :
Cut a circle from the canvas with a diameter slightly smaller than crocheted. Sew the canvas to the circle with small stitches.
Info :
Crochet the second circle in the same way. Put 3 layers together and sew over the edge. Stitch several times through the center.
Info :
Cut a strip along the entire length (33 cm) 15 cm wide from a sheet of canvas. Roll it into a cylinder - my diameter coincided with the diameter of the bottom. If necessary cut or leave overlap about 3 cm.
Info :
Crochet the walls of the house with beige yarn. Chain 91 and crochet back and forth rows 90 sc in a row.
Info :
Crochet half the height of the canvas; I got 21 rows.
Info :
Next crochet only from one side in a height of 38 sc to the end of the canvas. Cut the thread.
Info :
Skip 14 loops in the middle of the canvas and crochet from the other side also 38 sc to the end of the canvas.
Info :
This will be the inside of the house. Since the inner diameter is always smaller the crocheted canvas will bubble. Therefore the finished part must be attached to the canvas and stitched with small stitches vertical lines at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. On the short side of the canvas retreat 3 cm on both sides.
Info :
Carefully cut out the door opening. Do not discard the cut piece. Crochet the second piece for the outer side in the same way.
Info :
Fold the wall with the plastic canvas outward and sew the edges of the crocheted canvas end-to-end. Then join the edges of the canvas end-to-end and sew them through the crocheted fabric.
Info :
Cut a strip about 4 cm wide from the canvas and overlap the seam with it so the joint does not stick out as an angle. Sew the strip on both sides through the crocheted fabric.
Info :
Sew the second piece outside. Better start from the door opening, sew over the edge. Then sew vertical seam on the back side of the house.
Info :
Sew the top and the bottom sides over the edge. Sew the bottom to the wall. When stitching, it is not necessary to grab the canvas, it is enough to grab only the edge of the crocheted fabric with a needle.
β Roof Base (with fishing line) :
Info :
Crochet the base of the roof with fishing line. The color of the base can be any but not contradicting the main color of the house. Before starting, burn the end of the fishing line with a lighter so a ball forms at the end to prevent slipping out of crocheting.
Info :
From the second round add a fishing line and crochet so that it is under the stitches.
Round 2 :
inc*6=12 sc (12)
Round 4 :
(1 sc, inc)*6=18 sc (18)
Round 6 :
(2 sc, inc)*6=24 sc (24)
Round 8 :
(3 sc, inc)*6=30 sc (30)
Round 10 :
(4 sc, inc)*6=36 sc (36)
Round 12 :
(5 sc, inc)*6=42 sc (42)
Round 14 :
(6 sc, inc)*6=48 sc (48)
Round 16 :
(7 sc, inc)*6=54 sc (54)
Round 18 :
(8 sc, inc)*6=60 sc (60)
Round 20 :
(9 sc, inc)*6=66 sc (66)
Round 22 :
(10 sc, inc)*6=72 sc (72)
Round 24 :
(11 sc, inc)*6=78 sc (78)
Round 26 :
(12 sc, inc)*6=84 sc (84)
Round 28 :
(13 sc, inc)*6=90 sc (90)
Round 29 :
90 sc (90). Cut the fishing line leaving a short end.
Info :
Gently melt the end of the fishing line protruding it from crocheting, and quickly press it to crocheting. The melted fishing line will stick to the yarn. Crochet a few more sc to close the line, finish with a sl st and cut the thread.
β Roof Petals :
Info :
Crochet roof petals with a lilac yarn. Make petals in three shades: lilac, mid shade, and lighter shade. Each petal is worked in back-and-forth rows starting from an adjustable ring or from 3 sc in AR depending on the row instruction.
Petal Round 1 :
3 sc in AR. Adjust the ring and then crochet back and forth rows with turning ch.
Petal Round 4 :
1 sc, inc, 1 sc = 4 sc
Petal Round 7 :
2 sc, inc, 1 sc = 5 sc
Petal Round 10 :
2 sc, inc, 2 sc = 6 sc
Petal Round 13 :
2 sc, inc, 3 sc = 7 sc
Petal Round 16 :
2 sc, inc, 4 sc = 8 sc
Petal Round 19 :
2 sc, inc, 5 sc = 9 sc
Petal Round 22 :
2 sc, inc, 6 sc = 10 sc
Petal Rounds 23-24 :
10 sc
Petal Round 25 :
1 sc, 2 htr, (2 dc in every st)*4, 2 htr, 1 sc
Petal Edge Instruction :
Sc along the straight sides. Make 3 inc at the narrow end. Along the wide end: 2 ch, 2 dc in every st, (1 dc, 2 ch, sl st) in the last st. Cut the yarn.
Petal Join :
Join yarn to the narrow end and sc around without inc adding a fishing line for stiffness. Make 5 petals of this shade. Make 5 more pieces of two other shades (15 petals total: 5 of each of three shades).
β Petals Assembly :
Info :
Fasten the petals to the base of the roof. To do this apply glue with a thin line in the center of the petals and glue one at a time. About the 25th row of petals should fall on the edge of the base.
Info :
Now gently lift the edges of each petal and glue completely. Glue the second layer of petals in the same way, place them a little higher and with an offset relative to the first row. Glue the third row. Thanks to the fishing line and glue the roof is very hard and durable.
β Sepal (roof top) :
Sepal Rounds 1-4 :
6 sc in AR, 3 rounds of 6 sc (6 each round)
Sepal Round 5 :
inc*6=12 sc
Sepal Round 6 :
(1 sc, inc)*6=18 sc
Sepal Round 7 :
(2 sc, inc)*6=24 sc
Sepal Round 8 :
(3 sc, inc)*6=30 sc
Sepal Rounds 9-10 :
2 rounds of 30 sc
Sepal Tip (angle) :
Crochet an angle: 7 ch, 2 sl st, 1 sc, 1 htr, 2 dc, skip 2 st of the base, 1 sl st. Repeat around to make points and repeat around.
Info :
Put the sepal on the top of the roof and sew or glue. The roof is not attached to the house in any way; it is simply put on top.
β Door & Door Visor :
Info :
Put off the roof, take the door. Cut the door leaf so that it is 5 mm smaller than the opening in height and width.
Info :
With dark green yarn crochet a rectangle of such a size as to cover the door from 2 sides. The number of sc and rows will depend on your crocheting density.
Door Sewing :
Sew the door along 3 sides over the edge. Sew the door to the opening making several stitches through the canvas in 2 points.
Doorknob :
Sew a small button or a bead. I used 2 mini-buttons put together.
Visor Round 1 :
6 sc in AR
Visor Round 2 :
inc*6=12 sc
Visor Round 3 :
(1 sc, inc)*6=18 sc
Visor Round 4 :
(2 sc, inc)*6=24 sc
Visor Round 5 :
(3 sc, inc)*6=30 sc
Visor Round 6 :
(4 sc, inc)*6=36 sc
Visor Round 7 :
(5 sc, inc)*6=42 sc
Visor Rounds 8-9 :
2 rounds of 42 sc
Visor Edge :
Crochet shells along the edge: skip 1 st, 6 dc in 1 st, skip 1 st, 1 sc. Make 10 such shells. Because there are 42 sc in the circle 2 st will be excess therefore in 2 places skip 2 st instead of one. Leave a long end of the thread.
Visor Fold :
Fold the part in half aligning the shells and glue inside giving the shape of a dome. Sew over the edge with the end of the thread.
Second Layer Visor (pink) Round 1 :
3 sc in AR then crochet back and forth rows with a turning ch (not spiral rounds).
Second Layer Rounds :
2. inc*3=6 sc. 3. (1 sc, inc)*3=9 sc. 4. (2 sc, inc)*3=12 sc. 5. (3 sc, inc)*3=15 sc. 6. (4 sc, inc)*3=18 sc. 7. (5 sc, inc)*3=21 sc. Crochet 5 shells of 5 dc. Skip 2 st before the first shell instead of 1 because 1 st will be excess.
Visor Assembly :
Apply glue to the fold of the lilac visor and glue it over the door. Do not fasten too low so the visor does not interfere with the opening of the door. Additionally sew the visor to the wall with the end of the thread. Glue the pink layer over the lilac one.
β Windows & Details :
Window :
Crochet windows with light blue yarn. Crochet a rectangle 10 sc wide and 12 rows high. Use as window sash and glue to wall with canvas backing.
Info :
Make vertical ribs, leaves and small flower cups as desired using green and pink yarns to decorate walls. Examples in photos show round flower cups with layered scallops glued to wall.
β Sepal & Small Leaves (additional) :
Sepal (alternate instructions) :
Crochet sepal with green yarn: 1. 3 sc in AR then crochet back and forth rows with a turning ch. 2. inc*3=6 sc. 3. (1 sc, inc)*3=9 sc. Crochet angles: 4 ch, 1 sl st, 2 sc down the chain, sl st in the next st. Make total 5 angles. Glue the sepal to the visor.
β Petals for Wall Flowers :
Info :
Crochet 5 petals of each color (3 shades) as earlier described and glue as layered flowers on wall elements; pattern photos show two-tiered scallop flowers glued with green little sepal on top.
β Final Assembly :
Info :
Sew the bottom to the wall by catching only the edge of the crocheted fabric, not the canvas. Place the roof on top; the roof is removable. Glue and/or sew petals to the roof base making sure layers are offset. Place and sew or glue windows, door and visor. Attach sepal on top of roof. Add small beads or buttons as doorknob and decorative accents.
