This gingerbread house pixel graph can be used for so many different projects! I designed it with the idea of making it into a gingerbread house blanket as a part of my house blanket series (see the Winter Cabin and the Haunted Halloween House) and I still plan on creating a corner-to-corner crochet version of this, but first I made it into a little single crochet square!
I used the plain gingerbread house pixel graph for this single crochet square. Each of the squares in the pixel graph = one single crochet stitch. I decided to use a size G hook but a larger hook would work as well. With only 3 colors, it was easy to change color when needed without too many ends to weave in.
Start with a chain of 26 and then work in rows from the bottom up, following the color changes.
The house color is Bernat Super Value in color Topaz (the perfect Gingerbread color!)
The background is Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red.
You will also need white, spring green, lavender, and saffron yellow.
I added the embellishments on top by using a lot of surface slip stitching.
If you need help with the surface slip stitch technique, I have a video tutorial HERE.
The candy canes are surface slip stitching with both white and red strands of yarn at the same time. The gumdrops along the roofline are about 3-4 surface slip stitches in the same place to create the look of a larger French knot. Then I tied the loose ends on the backside.
The heart pattern = with red yarn, chain 3, 2 DC in first chain + slip stitch in first chain, chain 3 again, 2 DC + slip stitch in first chain. Fasten off.
The door is crocheted by following the pixel graph. 1 pixel = 1 single crochet stitch.
So what will I used this little 6×7 inch crochet gingerbread house for? I am going add it to a gingerbread Hexi Cardi I’m working on as the pockets! More information on the Gingerbread Themed Hexagon Cardigan coming soon. But honestly, this square could be a cute purse, treat pouch, mini pillow, a square in a larger granny square blanket, and more!
Feel free to grab the graphs and get started on this pattern in time for the holidays! Use it however you’d like.
