Make both houses from the BIG HOUSES pattern: a green house about 19.5 cm tall and a blue house about 17.5 cm tall, including their roofs. Each house has an outer shell and lining around cardboard reinforcement. Two reinforced crocheted pockets form a roof that lifts off. Felt doors, windows, flower boxes and balconies complement the embroidered trees.

Both houses, step by step
- All four square bases in a continuous spiral, tracking the corners, folding the base edges, and making the outer and inner walls.
- Gables on both faces of each shell, fitting the lining, cardboard templates traced against your work, and joining the layers.
- The green house: an arched door, four windows, a tree in two green shades, and two flower boxes with embroidered flowers.
- The blue house: two windows, a door with white details, a flowering tree, and two felt balconies with embroidered railings.
- Both red roofs: four pockets in total, cardboard insertion, sewing the inner lips, finishing the opening and closing the ridge.
Yarn, hook and dimensions
