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

Volumetric details - beams, pine garlands with toys. Removable “tiled” roof with chimney. Inside the house there are pink and lilac knitted walls. Doorway. A knitted Santa Claus with gifts is climbing up the wall. Santa comes unfastened (with buttons).

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

A great gift for Christmas.

With a few minor changes it can easily turn into a summer home with flowers on the windows and a chimney sweep on the roof.

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

Pins, a thick “gypsy” needle, a curved needle, “Velcro” - 2-3 cm, 2 buttons.

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

Dimensions: house side = 13 cm. Maximum height with roof = 23 cm. Pipe 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.

Take a cardboard box. It is desirable that the cardboard is thick enough. I have this thermos box.

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

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

2. Calculate the number of hinges on the walls.

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

General diagram of a knitted wall with the direction of knitting.

Knits first part A(indicated on the diagram pink), then gets tied up with her part B(indicated in green on the diagram).

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

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

IN) We knit a sample to determine the knitting density. Knitting - stockinette stitch.

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

G) Final number of stitches for the set = 2 loops × 48 cm = 96 loops.

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

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

Knitting needles. Cast on 90 stitches and knit a rectangle stockinette stitch. The color of the yarn is milky. The diagram shows part A. The knitting direction is shown with a black arrow.

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

On segments No. 2 and No. 4 we close off the loops. We knit sections 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 location for the doorway and calculate the number of hinges for the set. I decided that my door would be under the triangular part.

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

7 hinges - doorway. The rest is stockinette stitch.

We type on the front side of part A facial loops. 75 loops (22 loops + 23 loops + 22 loops + 8 loops). We knit in stockinette stitch with milky yarn.

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

We tie up 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 photo of the front of the wall. How the part as a whole should look (part A and part B) can be understood from the inside 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 raised pearl stitch:

Row 1: *knit 2, purl 2*
2nd row: according to the picture
Row 3: *purl 2, knit 2*
4th row: according to the picture
We close all the loops.

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

You can make a one-color option, you can make the walls in 2 colors. I made part A pink and part B lilac.

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

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

6. Connecting parts.

We secure the front and inner parts of the house with pins to the frame. The fabric should be stretched tightly.

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

If, when stretching the canvas, the frame of the house suddenly begins to bend or break (this happens with cardboard), do not be lazy - glue another layer of cardboard onto the frame. A shoe box will do.

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

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

We connect the top of the parts with single crochets.

We make a side seam.

We put the knitted house on the frame (from top to bottom). We tie the bottom (including the doorway) in the same way as the top.

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

7. Roof

3 parts – 2 front and one internal. Hook.

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

B) We knit the front “tiled” side with viscous “crocodile skin”.

Watch the master class on “crocodile skin”.

To ensure that the “tiles” 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. Mine is burgundy. We connect the outer and inner sides: we tie the parts around the perimeter of the RLS, grabbing both parts at the same time. Don't forget to insert the cardboard frame inside!

You can make a single-color roof; I knitted alternately the red row and the orange one. It looks very picturesque. The house is already ready. Exterior decor remains.

8. Beams (half-timbered structure).

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

The “estimate” looks something like this.

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

A curved needle will make sewing beams to walls much easier.

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

The sides of the house with sewn beams.

9. Windows (2 parts).

Knitting needles. Yellow yarn.

Knit two rectangles in stockinette stitch the right size. We embroider a frame on each rectangle with thick white thread. We sew the windows to the base with the same white thread.

Windows.

10. Coniferous garlands.

Hook. The yarn is “grass” of dark green color. We knit VP chains of the required length, and we knit a row of sc along the chain.

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

We sew garlands to the house.

We sew multi-colored beads onto the garlands.

11. Roof mounts.

We sew Velcro onto the roof and the house.

Velcro will help the roof adhere more firmly to the base.

12. Chimney.

Hook. The yarn is brick-colored cotton.

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

Chimney.

We knit a chain of 10 VP.

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

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

• 1st row: RLS
• 2 – 3 row: RLS, 1 increase on each corner
• 4th row: RLS

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

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

13. Santa Claus.

I really like these street decorations: Santa Clauses, Father Frosts who climb the wall, sit on the roof near 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 the mittens of Santa Claus and on the house. At any time, Santa can be removed and moved, for example, to the roof to a chimney.

Santa Claus climbs onto the roof.

I didn’t describe in detail how to knit such a Santa. The master class turned out to be voluminous. If anyone needs a description, write in the comments and I will add it. I still have the notes.

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 there you go. New Year! Knit your Christmas house!

Master class “Santa Claus on the roof of the New Year’s house” watch.

We continue to make a knitted truss, which can be used as a knitted puppet theater for home. In we told you how to connect the foundation of our farm - fields, trees, plants, various types of plantings. Now let's get down to knitting a house, or rather, buildings for various purposes: a barn, a stable, a church and the knitted farmer's house itself.

DIY knitted houses: what you need

• Knitted houses (all the buildings listed above) can be knitted from any yarn: thin, 2-3 ply, thick carpet.

• The number of knitting needles, number of loops and rows do not matter.

• Pieces of soap or foam of the appropriate shape and size are used as filler. To make the building look better, the filler should have a slightly larger volume than the associated parts.

Tie the parts for the buildings so that they match the proportions of the entire composition.

Knitting shed

This is the smallest building. The walls are made with 1 x 2 rib (1 knit stitch, 2 purl stitches) with brown thread, and the roof is made with brick-colored garter stitch thread.

Knitted stable

The stable is located next to the church and stables. Its walls are made of dark brown yarn with 1 x 2 rib, the roof is made of beige or rust-colored yarn.

Note: the walls of other buildings are connected by faces. satin stitch with a strip of 6 rows of garter stitch.

The door is made with 1 x 1 elastic with the hinges evenly decreasing at the top for a rounded edge. Gives it a clearer outline chain stitch, laid along the edge.

Knitted Church

The main parts are knitted from white yarn, the roof is made from brick-colored tweed yarn, small details made from leftover yarn in brown and dark brown colors.

Knitted house

The walls of the farmer's house are knitted from beige yarn. satin stitch with a border along the bottom of 6 rows of garter stitch, the roof is made of brick-colored yarn with a 2 x 2 rib, windows and doors are made of yarn of other colors.

Oh, if only a knitted farmer’s house could accommodate, say, a wall like this! If this were possible, then you and I ourselves would go into this knitted fairy tale with great pleasure.
Next time we will start knitting animals and people - the inhabitants of our knitted farm.

Knitted houses patterns

Knitting for the home inspires many people so much that once they start knitting blankets, napkins, flowers, rugs, many simply cannot 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 grandma’s knitted rugs, this is both a useful use of threads and a very practical rug. What can you say about blankets knitted from multi-colored squares? In my opinion, it’s simply impossible not to pay attention to such knitting. And if you don’t know how to decorate your home in an unusual way, then start with knitting for the home.

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 simply 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).

This 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 absolutely loves this house and we think it turned out really well.

We decided to make the roof semi-open so that we could store small toys and miniatures inside the house. To do this, we left the back of the roof unattached so it can be opened and closed easily. As we were working on it, we decided to add an opening door so that characters could go inside, etc.

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

We are having a summer picnic here. This pie seriously made us feel hungry!

And here in the house it's Halloween. Ghosts and pumpkins give this craft a whole new meaning!

It's so fun to make all these little items!

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

Notes

• The house has a rectangular base and a slightly rounded, tapering roof.
• The top of the roof is knitted from twine, but can be made from other yarns.
• The house measures approximately 8.3cm x 9cm. Each roof piece measures approximately 8.3cm x 9cm.

Step-by-step description with diagram

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

Step 1: Tie the Warp

With a 3.75 cm hook and white yarn.

• Start: 13 air loops(hereinafter v.p.)
• Row 1: single crochet (sc) along the entire length of the row, ch 1, turn.
• Row 2: Repeat first row.

Continue scribbling until you have 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 begin weaving walls, sc in the front loop only. Mark where you start with a marker. Leave a marker here so you can see your circles.

When you complete the first round, begin working a regular sc (not just the front stitch) for the remainder of the rounds. You work in circles even though you have a rectangular base.

Continue weaving circles to build your walls. When your walls reach 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 top side of wall. 1 ch, turn.
• Row 2: 1 sc in the first 2 stitches together, sc along the entire length of the row, 1 sc in the last 2 stitches together*.
• Repeat from * to * until you have 2 or 3 stitches left at the top. Fasten the threads and hide the ends in the weave.

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

• 1st row: 13 vp, sc along the entire length of the row, 1 vp, turn.
• Row 2: Repeat first row.
• Repeat weaving the 1st row until you have tied 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 stitch, ch 1, skip stitch, sc in next stitch*. Repeat from * to * along 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 that will fit 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

Simply cut out the windows from felt: use any colors and shapes you wish. You can hot glue or sew them on, or use Velcro (like we did).

Door

With cream colored yarn. Knit a small rectangle of sc, with a black stitch for the door handle.

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

A wonderful DIY crochet house is ready! We hope that you like our master class and you will knit such a house for interior decoration or for your baby! Happy holidays to you!
