Creating your own cosy home décor is a lovely way to add a personal touch to your space all year round, and these charming knitted houses are perfect for just that! They use only the smallest amounts of yarn (perfect for yarn scraps), and you can whip up a whole neighbourhood in no time.

Use them as tags, festive tree ornaments, door-handle hangers, or tuck one into a card as a small handmade surprise for someone you love. These tiny houses bring warmth, whimsy, and a touch of magic wherever they end up.

You’ll need:

Hobbii Friends Wool in:

For the embroidery I used very small amounts of scrap yarn in dark brown (Hobbii Friends Wool in, mustard yellow and light green.
