House
A simple house with a peaked roof, a door, and a window, the friendliest motif for home-themed pieces and housewarming gifts. The clear silhouette suits samplers and 'home sweet home' panels. In the editor you can add a chimney, more windows, or a row of houses into a little street, then export a PNG or print the chart.

Perfect for
Skill level: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
For a larger house, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a tea towel or a table runner, the house drops in cleanly, ideal for a thank-you make. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A house panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a tea-lover, and it fits naturally with Mother's Day. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 7.0 by 6.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
