Description

Knit up a Gingerbread House for a festive treat. This pattern incorporates a two-colour trellis stitch to make the roof tiles. This is a squidgy house, but you can make a more structured version by cutting cardboard or plastic mesh pieces the same size as the knitted house pieces, and place these inside when you sew together. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the house is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and some of the decorative elements are i-cord which is worked on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, a little embroidery to decorate, and seaming to finish.
