Summer Fairy House

Knitting Pattern PDF to make the sunflower house and fairies in 2 sizes.

Finished size: House, 22cm tall, 15cm wide, Dolls 7cm & 9cm tall

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end.

The fairy house has cardboard circles on the base and the centre of the sunflowers, and it is also weighted (use ceramic beads, coins or dried beans for this purpose) for better stability.

There are plenty of room for improvisations. Feel free to decorate the wall as many flowers and petals as you like.

The crochet hook is used to create chains, and some of the flowers are designed using these chains.

I strongly recommend do use a chenille needle with a sharp point to assembly and create embroidery.

The knitting techniques you'll need are the basic knit and purl stitches. However, be cautious during the assembly process. While doll-making experience is not essential, it can be beneficial.

The flowers that the fairies carry are crafted from lightweight wire and yarn. You can use fine garden wire for this task.
