    Construction
    At first the bottom is worked in garter stitch. Then stitches are picked up along the sides of the bottom. The walls and roof of the house is then knitted. Along one of the short sides, a few centimeters are left open so the house can be stuffed with fiber fill after felting. The small opening is sewn together when the house has been decorated. The decorations for the house are both knitted and crocheted.
