Notes
The house is worked in a combination of rounds, rows, and
freehand (creating single crochets along the edge of rows).
The mouse is worked in rounds.
The bobble stitch in the mouse is a 6-loop bobble.
Use stitch markers where indicated.
On the top of the house, you will be working counter
clockwise, therefore the technical “wrong side” of the top will
be facing out/up.

pattern. I would love if you mentioned that you used

Finishing Up
Optional: You can flip your house “inside out” (before
embroidering spots) to have a less textured top.
Embroider mushroom spots on the top of the house,
using a darning needle and beige yarn.
Weave in ends.
Put your mouse in her house!
