For more than two centuries, Christmas has been celebrated in many countriesworld is closely connected with the wonderful tradition of baking gingerbread houses. Probably, this is where Christmas tree decorations of this type came from – very cute decorations depicting cozy winter dwellings. For those who can or want to learn how to crochet, we have prepared a small MK on making such a toy.

Materials and tools

To work you will need:

thick threads of two colors;
hook;
needle;
scissors;
glue;
beads and stones for decoration.

Work order The house will be knitted in a regular shapein the form of a square with a triangular roof, but to prevent the edges from curling, we will make its base two-layered. To do this, knit a rectangle with one side equal to the size of the house and the other - twice the size of the first. When knitting rectangular crochet panels, inexperienced knitters sometimes have the problem of gradual narrowing or widening of the strip. It is easy to avoid this: the lifting loop is considered the first loop, so at the beginning of the row, after knitting it, insert the hook into the second loop, and then simply count the number of loops - in each row it should be the same. It is better to knit along the narrow side (we immediately dial the number of air loops corresponding to the size of the house).We fold the knitted fabric in half and tie three sides of the resulting square with single crochet stitches using a thread of a different color.Having finished tying the third side, we collect several air loops. For a small house 2-3 loops, for a large one – 4-5.We return back with single crochet stitches, makingfirst row of the roof. We start the row with the collected air loops. At the end of the row, we collect the same number of air loops, turn the knitting and knit the second row. Next, so that the roof narrows, at the beginning of each row we insert the hook not into the second, but into the third loop.We knit the roof in this way until it converges at the top of the triangle.From the last loop we pull out a thread for the pendant and cut off the end. We take a thread of a different color and tie the perimeter of the house with single crochets, starting from the top of the roof.From the last loop we pull out a thread of the same length as the previous one. We tie the free ends of the thread and secure them.We sew on windows.We decorate the house with embroidery or beads to make it look elegant. Beads can be simply glued on using hot glue or super glue. That's it. Our toy is ready and can go on the Christmas tree.
