Birdhouse Crochet Square

If you are making my Big Eyed Birdie Crochet Squares, you will need to make these matching Birdhouse Crochet Squares!

It uses the same circle to a square pattern as the birdies with the addition of two easy appliqué pieces to create a roof and bottom edge. As always you can choose to make your birdhouse in any colors from the Red Heart Super Saver line of yarn.

All the squares are the same size of approximately 10 x 10 inches.

Feel free to add embellishments to this! Maybe a heart on the roof pitch, different colors on the roof line, a scalloped edge?! Lots of possibilities!

My plan is to make a blanket using both the bird squares and the birdhouse squares. Then using fleece fabric to line the back of it! I added fleece to the back of THIS Christmas Reindeer Blanket a few years ago if you need a visual of how I did it. I will absolutely post a tutorial for stitching together the bird blanket and adding fleece as soon as I find the perfect fabric.

I hope you love these cartoonish whimsical birdies and their matching birdhouse as much as I do!
