Christmas Town...

With Christmas not too far off, I've been working the past week on a Christmas Town.  I love Christmastime - the colors, the smells and just the jovial, overall kindness that people seem to express just a little more during this time of the year.  

I wanted to go ahead and share what I have completed so far for my Christmas Town for those of you who may want to make this for yourselves!!!  

So far, I have completed:
--Santa's House with a small Christmas tree and a bed of snow (doily);
--a Gingerbread House that is round;
--a town Christmas tree;
--Santa's sleigh
--a Thanksgiving "Turkey" House with an orange walkway
--Santa with bag
--Snowman
--Nativity Stable with Baby Jesus wrapped in a swaddling wrap lying in a basket

This pattern is rather long.  I have created a PDF pattern that can be purchased HERE for $5.99.  

Please consider purchasing my PDF pattern to help me out.  I try to keep most (except for a couple) of my patterns FREE but it does cost me money to maintain my blog and to buy the supplies to make patterns.

 Christmas Town!!!

Gingerbread House

Size:  8" tall

Directions:

For the Gingerbread House, I first make a rectangluar-shaped piece:

1.   With warm brown yarn and 5.0mm hook, Ch37.  HHDC in 2nd ch from hook and across.  Ch1 and turn.  (36)  --if you do not want to use the HHDC stitch, you can use just the HDC stitch--

2-13.  HHDC across.  Ch1 and turn.  At the end of Row 13, FO and leave a long tail for whipstitching the short ends together.  (36)

 Now, you will make 4 triangluar-shaped pieces (this will form the roof):

1.  With warm brown yarn and 5.0mm hook, Ch10.  SC in 2nd ch from hook and across.  Ch1 and turn.  (9)

2-5  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (9)

6.  SC2tog, SC in next 5 st, SC2tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

7.  SC2tog, SC in next 3 st, SC2tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

8.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

9.  SC2tog, SC in next st, SC2tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (3)

10.  SC2tog, SC in next st.  Ch1 and turn.  (2)  

11.  SC2tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (1)

12.  SC in st.  FO.  Leave long tail for attaching.  (1)

Assembly:  As you can see in the pics below, I made 4 triangular-shaped pieces.  I weaved the long tails of each triangle down to Row 1.  Row 1 of each triangle is 9 stitches.  There are 36 stitches across Row 13 of the rectangular-shaped piece.  

Next, you will whipstitch the 2 short ends of the rectangular-shaped piece together.

And, now you will whipstitch the triangle sides together to form the roof peak.  I stuffed polyfil into the roof portion of the house.  I then placed the bottom portion over a large, Duncan Hines, cake frosting container, with the open end on the bottom, thus forming my circular-shaped Gingerbread House!!!

Trim that goes around the bottom of the house:

1.  With white yarn and 4.0mm hook, Ch50.  *SC in the 2nd ch from hook, DC into each of the next 3 ch, SC in next ch, TC into each of the next 3 ch,* rep to the end.  FO and leave a long tail to attach to bottom of the house.  

Candy Balls:

(I made mine in orange, purple, red and yellow; I made enough to go from one side of the door to the other side of the door)

1.  With 4.0mm hook, Ch4.  4 HDC into the 1st ch.  After completing the 4th HDC, remove hook from loop.  Place hook into the first HDC st and then back into the loop.  Pull stitch through and ch1.  FO and leave a long enough tail for attaching. 

Door:

1.  With green yarn and 4.0mm hook, Ch6.  SC in 2nd ch from hook and across.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

2-7.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  At the end of Row 7, FO green yarn.  (5)

8.  Join white yarn and SC around perimeter of the door.  Sl st join to first st and FO.  Leave a long tail for attaching.  

Doorknob:

1.  With yellow yarn and 4.0mm hook, Ch3.  Sl st to first ch and FO.  Leave tail for attaching knob to door.

Window:

1.   With white yarn and 3.0mm hook, Ch24.  FO and leave tail for attaching.  Shape into square and attach.  I attached mine to the left of the front door.

For the cross made for the windows:

(make 2)

1.  Ch6.  FO and leave tail for attaching to window.

Candy Cane (make 4): 

1.  With white yarn and 3.0mm hook, Ch10.  SC in 2nd ch from hook and next Ch.  3 SC in next ch.  SC in each of the remaining ch.  FO and leave a long enough tail for attaching.

2.  With red yarn and tapestry needle, weave stripes.  

I placed each candy cane in the center of the triangles of the roof.

Candy Top:

1.  With red yarn and 4.0mm hook, Ch19, SC in 2nd ch from hook and across.  FO and leave a long enough tail for attaching.  I just made this into a swirl-shape and whipstitched it with a few stitches.  I then attached to rooftop.

I added a few red balls around my house with a 4.0mm hook by just making a ch3 and sl st into first ch.  

I made 2 wavy white lines.  I did this by using white yarn and 4.0mm hook; make a ch24.  I then placed it in a wavy line and whipstitched to the house.

And, that's it for the Gingerbread House...

 

Santa's Sleigh

Size:  3" tall x 7" long

Directions:

--The sleigh is made using double-stranded red yarn--

Side (make 2):

1.  With red yarn and 5.0mm hook, Ch18.  SC in 2nd ch and across.  Ch1 and turn.  (17)

2-6.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (17)

7.  SC in the first 8 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (8)

8.  SC2tog, SC in next 6 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

9.  SC in the first 5 st, SC2tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (6)

10.  SC2tog, SC in next 4 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

11.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

12.  SC across.  FO.  Weave ends.

 13.  Re-join yarn in Row 5.  Skip 4 st and join with sl st and Ch1.  SC in same st as Ch1 and into next 4 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

14.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (5)

15.  SC2tog, SC in next 3 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (4)

16.  SC2tog, SC in next 2 st.  FO and weave ends.  (3) 

The front, bottom and back are all made in 1 piece, double-stranded:

1.  Ch8.  3 HDC in 2nd ch from hook, 2 HDC in each of the next 5 ch and 3 HDC in the last ch.  Ch1 and turn.  (16)

2.  SC3tog, SC2tog (5x) and SC3tog.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)  

3-12.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

13.  Working in FLO, SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

14-22.  In both loops, SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

23.  Working in FLO, SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

24-33.  In both loops, SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (7)

34.  3 HDC in first st, 2 HDC in each of the next 5 st and 3 HDC in the last st.  FO.  Weave ends.  (16)

(The first and last rows creates a curve for the front and the back of the sleigh)

Pockets (make 4):

--This will be for the candy canes to slide through--  

1.  With white yarn and 4.0mm hook, Ch3.  SC in 2nd ch from hook and next ch.  Ch1 and turn.  (2)

2-4.  SC across.  Ch1 and turn.  At the end of Row 4, FO and leave a long enough tail for attaching.  (2)

Assembly:  

The pockets are attached to the sides.  2 pockets per side.  When you attach the pockets, you whipstitch Row 4 to the side, weave yarn through the pocket and whipstitch Row1.  Make sure you leave the gap/opening on each side of Rows 2 and 3 for the candy cane to slide through.  I placed each of my pockets a few stitches in on each side at the bottom of the side pieces.  

To assemble the sleigh:

1.  First, I attached the sides to the front, bottom and back piece.  Whipstitch Row 1 of the side, to the front, bottom and back piece between the 2 FLO rows I made.  

2.  Whipstitch the back corners.  You will fold down 3 rows (to the outside) of the back side pieces.  This is so the curve of Row 34 back piece shows better.

3.  Whipstitch the front corners.  You will fold down 3 rows (to the inside) of the front side pieces.  This is so the curve of Row 1 front piece shows better.  

 Place 1 candy cane through the pockets on each side.
