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.
— Canvas bottom and first assembly :
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 :
Carefully cut out the door opening on the canvas panel. Do not discard the cut piece.
— Walls :
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 clearly coincided with the diameter of the bottom. If the cylinder diameter is not much larger, cut off the excess; if overlap is about 3 cm leave it.
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; the author 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. Attach the crocheted canvas to the plastic canvas by stitching vertical lines at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other; on the short side retreat 3 cm on both sides.
Info :
Crochet the second piece for the outer side in the same way. Fold the wall with the plastic canvas outward and sew the edges of the crocheted canvases end-to-end.
Info :
Then join the edges of the canvas end-to-end and sew them through the crocheted fabric. Cut a strip about 4 cm wide from the canvas and overlap the seam with it; sew the strip on both sides through the crocheted fabric.
Info :
Sew the second (outer) piece to the outside starting from the door opening, sew over the edge. Then sew a vertical seam on the back side of the house.
Info :
Sew the top and bottom sides over the edge. Sew the bottom to the wall; when stitching, it is not necessary to grab the canvas, grab only the edge of the crocheted fabric with a needle.
— Roof base (with fishing line) :
Info :
Crochet the base of the roof with fishing line. Before starting work, burn the end of the fishing line with a lighter so that a ball forms at the end; this will prevent the fishing line from slipping out of crocheting.
Round 1 :
6 sc in AR (use fishing line in the base) (6)
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 29 :
90 sc. Cut the fishing line leaving a short end. (90)
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.
— Roof petals (make 15 total in three shades) :
Info :
Crochet roof petals with lilac yarn. Adjust the ring and work back-and-forth rows with turning chains (not spiral) for petals; later make petals in other two shades (three shades total, five petals each).
Round 1 :
3 sc in AR (adjust ring) (3)
Round 4 :
1 sc, inc, 1 sc = 4 sc (4)
Round 7 :
2 sc, inc, 1 sc = 5 sc (5)
Round 10 :
2 sc, inc, 2 sc = 6 sc (6)
Round 13 :
2 sc, inc, 3 sc = 7 sc (7)

2 sc, inc, 5 sc = 9 sc (9)
Round 22 :
2 sc, inc, 6 sc = 10 sc (10)
Round 25 :
1 sc, 2 htr, (2 dc in every st)*4, 2 htr, 1 sc
Info :
Sc along the straight sides. Make 3 inc at the narrow end.
Info :
Along the wide end: 2 ch, 2 dc in every st, (1 dc, 2 ch, sl st) in the last st. Cut the yarn.
Info :
Join yarn to the narrow end and sc around without increasing, adding a fishing line to the round for stiffness.
Info :
Make 5 petals in lilac, then crochet 5 more pieces of two other shades so you have 15 petals total (5 petals per shade).
— Petals assembly :
Info :
Fasten the petals to the base of the roof: apply a thin line of glue in the center of each petal and glue one at a time. About the 25th row of petals should fall on the edge of the base.
Info :
Gently lift the edges of each petal and glue completely. Glue the second layer of petals a little higher and offset relative to the first row. Glue the third row. Thanks to the fishing line and glue, the roof is very hard and durable.
— Sepal (green top) :
Round 5 :
inc*6=12 sc (12)
Round 6 :
(1 sc, inc)*6=18 sc (18)
Round 7 :

Rounds 9-10 :
2 rounds of 30 sc (30)
Info :
Crochet an angle (petal-like projection) for the sepal: 7 ch, 2 sl st, 1 sc, 1 htr, 2 dc, skip 2 st of the base, 1 sl st. Repeat around to make 5 angles. Put the sepal on the top of the roof and sew or glue.
— Door, door leaf and visor :
Info :
Put off the roof, take the door. Cut the door leaf from the canvas so that it is 5 mm smaller than the opening in height and width.
Info :
With dark green yarn crochet a rectangle to cover the door from two sides. The number of sc and rows depends on your tension. Sew the door along 3 sides over the edge.
Info :
Sew the door to the opening making several stitches through the canvas in 2 points. Sew a small button or a bead as a doorknob (author used 2 mini-buttons put together).

6 sc in AR (6)
Visor Round 2 :
inc*6=12 sc (12)

Visor Rounds 8-9 :
2 rounds of 42 sc (42)
Info :
Crochet shells along the edge: skip 1 st, 6 dc in 1 st, skip 1 st, 1 sc. Make 10 such shells. Since there are 42 sc in the circle, 2 st will be excess; in 2 places skip 2 st instead of one. Leave a long end of thread.
Info :
Fold the part in half aligning the shells and glue inside, giving a dome shape. Sew over the edge with the end of the thread. Crochet the second layer of the visor with pink yarn: 3 sc in AR, then crochet back and forth rows with a turning ch (not spiral rounds).

3 sc in AR (3)

Visor (pink) Round 6 :
(4 sc, inc)*3=18 sc (18)
Visor (pink) Round 7 :
(5 sc, inc)*3=21 sc (21)
Info :
Crochet 5 shells of 5 dc. Skip 2 st before the first shell because 1 st will be excess. Apply glue to the fold of the lilac visor and glue the pink layer over it. Sew/ glue visor to the wall and additionally sew with the thread end so it does not hang down low.
— Windows :
Info :
Crochet windows with light blue yarn. Crochet a rectangle 10 sc wide and 12 rows high. Sew windows to the house canvas and add crosses or details as desired (the pattern shows a circular window with cross bars).
— Final assembly and finishing :
Info :
After finishing the walls, bottom and roof, attach the glued petal roof (the roof is not attached to the house in any way in the example; it is simply put on top). Place the sepal on the top of the roof and sew or glue.
Info :
Attach windows and door details by sewing through the canvas in a few places for secure fixing. Sew on small decorative beads or buttons for doorknob and other accents.
Info :
Weave in remaining ends and make any small decorative leaves and tendrils as desired. The house is now complete and ready to display.
