Round 14 :
6 sc, inc, (12 sc, inc)*5, 6 sc=84 sc
Round 15 :
(13 sc, inc)*6=90 sc
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 Base and Layering :
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 :
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. Adjust if needed.
— Walls (crocheted canvas-backed cylinder) :
Step :
Crochet the walls of the house with beige yarn. Chain 91 and crochet back and forth rows 90 sc in a row.
Step :
Crochet half the height of the canvas, I got 21 rows.
Step :
Next crochet only from one side in a height of 38 sc to the end of the canvas. Cut the thread.
Step :
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. Since the inner diameter is always smaller, the crocheted canvas will bubble. Attach the finished part to the canvas and stitch vertical lines at 1.5-2 cm intervals to flatten the canvas. On short side retreat 3 cm on both sides.
Step :
Carefully cut out the door opening. Do not discard the cut piece.
Step :
Crochet the second piece for the outer side in the same way.
Step :
Fold the wall with the plastic canvas outward and sew the edges of the crocheted canvas end-to-end. Then join the edges of the canvas end-to-end and sew them through the crocheted fabric.
Step :
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.
Step :
Sew the second piece outside. Better start from the door opening, sew over the edge. Then sew vertical seam on the back side of the house.
Step :
Sew the top and the bottom sides over the edge. Sew the bottom to the wall. When stitching, it is not necessary to grab the canvas, it is enough to grab only the edge of the crocheted fabric with a needle.
— Roof Base (crocheted on fishing line) :
Info :
Crochet the base of the roof with fishing line. Before starting, burn the end of the fishing line with a lighter so a ball forms and it will not slip out of crocheting.
Round 4 :
(1 sc, inc)*6=18 sc
Round 6 :
(2 sc, inc)*6=24 sc
Round 8 :
(3 sc, inc)*6=30 sc
Round 10 :
(4 sc, inc)*6=36 sc
Round 12 :
(5 sc, inc)*6=42 sc
Round 14 :
(6 sc, inc)*6=48 sc
Round 16 :
(7 sc, inc)*6=54 sc
Round 18 :
(8 sc, inc)*6=60 sc
Round 20 :
(9 sc, inc)*6=66 sc
Round 22 :
(10 sc, inc)*6=72 sc
Round 24 :
(11 sc, inc)*6=78 sc
Round 26 :
(12 sc, inc)*6=84 sc
Round 28 :
(13 sc, inc)*6=90 sc
Round 29 :
90 sc. Cut the fishing line leaving a short end.
Info :
Gently melt the end of the fishing line protruding 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 petals for layered roof) :
Info :
Crochet roof petals with a lilac yarn. Make petals in three shades: lilac, pink, and a mid shade so you have 5 petals of each shade (total 15) to form three layered rings.
Petal Round 1 :
3 sc in AR. Adjust the ring and then crochet back and forth rows with turning ch.
Petal Row 4 :
1 sc, inc, 1 sc = 4 sc
Petal Row 7 :
2 sc, inc, 1 sc = 5 sc
Petal Row 10 :
2 sc, inc, 2 sc = 6 sc
Petal Row 13 :
2 sc, inc, 3 sc = 7 sc
Petal Row 16 :
2 sc, inc, 4 sc = 8 sc
Petal Row 19 :
2 sc, inc, 5 sc = 9 sc
Petal Row 22 :
2 sc, inc, 6 sc = 10 sc
Petal Row 25 :
1 sc, 2 htr, (2 dc in every st)*4, 2 htr, 1 sc
Petal Edge :
Sc along the straight sides. Make 3 inc at the narrow end. Along the wide end: 2 ch, 2 dc in every st, (1 dc, 2 ch, sl st) in the last st. Cut the yarn.
Petal Join :
Join yarn to the narrow end and sc around without inc adding a fishing line. Make 5 petals of each shade (5 lilac, 5 mid shade, 5 pink).
— Petal Assembly :
Step :
Fasten the petals to the base of the roof. Apply glue with a thin line in the center of each petal and glue one at a time. About the 25th row of the petals should fall on the edge of the base.
Step :
Gently lift the edges of each petal and glue completely. Glue the second layer of petals in the same way, placing them a little higher and offset relative to the first row.
Step :
Glue the third row. Thanks to the fishing line and glue, the roof is very hard and durable.
— Sepal (top decorative green cap) :
Sepal Round 1 :
3 sc in AR
Sepal Round 2 :
Adjust and crochet back and forth rows with a turning ch (work as shown).
Sepal Rounds 1-4 :

Info :
Put the sepal on the top of the roof and sew or glue. The roof is not attached to the house — it is simply placed on top.
— Door and Door Leaf :
Step :
Put off the roof, take the door. Cut the door leaf so that it is 5 mm smaller than the opening in height and width.
Step :
With dark green yarn crochet a rectangle of such a size as to cover the door from 2 sides. The number of sc and rows depends on your crocheting density.
Step :
Sew the door along 3 sides over the edge. Sew the door to the opening making several stitches through the canvas in 2 points.
Step :
Sew a small button or a bead for the doorknob. (Author used 2 mini-buttons put together.)

Visor Finish :
Fold the part in half, aligning the shells, and glue inside to give the shape of a dome. Sew over the edge with the end of the thread.

Round 7 :

Layer Shells :
Crochet 5 shells of 5 dc. Skip 2 st before the first shell instead of 1, because 1 st will be excess. Fold and glue for dome shape. Apply glue to the fold and glue it over the lilac visor. Sew the visor to the wall with the thread and glue the pink layer over the lilac one.
