Birdhouse Wallhanger US Terms
Used stitches US terms;
chain
slip stitch (st)
single crochet (sc)
half double rochet (hdr)
double crochet (dc)
treble crochet (tr)
Always use 1 chain to make the first sc, unless it says differently in the pattern.
Always use 2 chain to make the first dc, unless it says differently in the pattern.
I have used different colours and marked this in the pattern.
You can also make it in one colour, or change colour every round.
I have used cotton yarn (Schachenmayr Nomotta, Catania) nr 8
and a 2.50 (UK size 12) crochet needle.
I hope you enjoy making the Birdhouse!
Chain 25
Round 1- Start in the 3th chain from hook and work a row of single crochet. You should
count 24 stitches. Turn the work after every round.
Round 2-24 sc
Round 3-24 sc, fasten off. (Do not turn the work)
This is the floor of the birdhouse
Change Colour
Round 4-Insert your hook in the third stitch (of the floor) and chain 2, then crochet 19
sc.
Round 5 untill Round 16-Crochet 20 sc
Round 17 untill Round 24;Now begin your decreasing....You'll be making a "sc decrease"
at the beginning and end of each subsequent row.
(In words, this is how you do a sc decrease;
Hook in stitch, yarn over, pull hook back through (2 stitches on hook). Insert hook
through next stitch, yarn over, pull hook back through (3 stitches on hook). Now yarn
over and pull through ALL THREE STITCHES. This effectively turns two stitches into
one, ie a decrease.)
Do this decreasing at beginning and end of each row until you have just 2 stitches left,
then dc decrease those remaining 2 stitches into 1 stitch before fastening off.
Use the same colour you just used;
Now insert your hook in a stitch on the side of the house just above the 16th row.
Crochet along the gable roof in 14 sc untill you reach the top, chain 2, make a sc next to
the previous sc,
skip 1 stitch and make 13 sc downwards.
Fasten off.
Change colour
Insert hook under the first stitch of the row of sc you just crocheted and chain 2 (this
is your first dc) Crochet 3 more dc in the same stitch.
Go on to the first stitch and make 2 hdc in one stitch,
Then 13 sc. When you reach the gable point (in the middle of the 2 chain)
1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc.
Go on in 13 hdc, in next stitch 2 hdc. Crochet 3 dc under the last sc, chain 2 and make a
slip stitch next to the 3 dc.
Put thread under your work and make slipstiches along the bottom roof rim.
Be careful not to crochet to tightly at this point.
When you have reached the other end, (the last slipstitch is made under the set of 4 dc
on the right)
you start making sc on the rim on the top of the roof.
When you have reached the top of the gable chain 2, make a sc next to the previous
one, skip one stitch and go on (downwards) in sc.
End the row of dc with a slip stitch on the last dc of the previous round.
The base of the birdhouse is now finished! You can decide to embellish the roof with
some dots. (French knot or colonial knot)
The entrance hole Use a slightly darker colour as the base colour
(when available, otherwise the same colour as the base)
Make a magic ring
Round 1-Make 10 sc in the ring.
Round 2-Chain 2, 2 sc on every next sc. (19 sc)
Round 3-19 sc. Fasten off.
Take a contrasting colour and make slipstitches all around the circle.
Fasten off and sew the circle at the base of the birdhouse.
Birdy
Make a magic ring
Round 1-Make 12 sc in the ring.
Round 2-Chain 2, 2 hdc in one stitch, 2 hdc in one stitch, 1 sc, 2 sc in one stitch, 1 sc, 2
sc in one stitch, 4 sc, 2 sc in one stitch, 1 sc, 1 hdc an 1 dc in one stitch.
Change colour
Round 3-Chain 2, 7 sc, 2 hdc in one stitch, 1 hdc, 2 hdc in one stitch, 1 hdc, 5 sc, end
round with slipstitch, chain 2, make 3 dc and 1 tr in next stitch. Fasten off.
Make a french or colonial knot for an eye and sew the birdy on the base.
(I always keep the bottom of the birdsbelly aligned with the 3th round of the base)
Use a few stitches to make a beak and feet.

Round 1-Make 10 sc in ring.
Change colour
Round 2- In one stitch;* 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, then in next stitch, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc*, repeat
4 times (this makes 5 petals). Fasten off.
Sew flower on to base.
Insert hook in a stitch in the top of the roof, make a slip stitch and chain 18.
Attach loop with a slip stitch next to the other slip stitch. Do not Fasten off!
Now start crocheting the garland;
Chain 49. Do not fasten off! (You’ll go on in crocheting everything in one long garland,
follow pattern further on, starting with the leaves)
Leaves
Right hand petal; insert hook in 4th stitch from crochetneedle,
crochet 2 tr in same stitch together,
chain 2, insert hook in 2nd stitch from needlehook and make a slip stitch, chain 4 and
make a slip stitch next to the set of tr.
Make sure you put the chain towards you and the first petal to your left when you
repeat the pattern for the other petal. Do not Fasten off!
Flowerheart
Chain 16 and insert hook in 3th stitch from the needlehook, make a loop by closing it
with a slip stitch. You now should have a small circle (if this circle is too fiddly for you
to put sc in, make a circle of a chain of 4).
Put in the circle; chain 2, 9 sc, close round with a slip stitch.
Chain 16 and repeat the pattern for the leaves.
When you finish the leaves you make a flowerheart again
and repeat the pattern this way untill you have;
7 flowerhearts between 8 sets of leaves.
After the last set of leaves chain 30, Fasten off.
Big Flower
Insert hook in first flowerheart (closest to the bottom of the birdhouse) with the
desired colour yarn.
Round 1-Chain 2, then put 2 sc in one stitch, 1 sc in the next*, repeat from * untill *.
You should end up with 15 sc. Fasten off and change colour.
Insert hook in a sc, chain 2. Then in next stitch; in one stitch, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 tr, in next
stitch; 1 tr, 1 dc, 1 hdc, in next stitch 1 sc*, repeat from * untill*, ending the round with
a hdc. Close round with a slip stitch.
This makes 5 flowerpetals. Repeat this pattern for every alternate flower on the
garland.
(so one big, leaves, a small flower, leaves, a big flower etc., ending with a big flower)
Small Flower
Insert hook in second flowerheart with the desired colour yarn.
In one stitch;* 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, then in next stitch, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc*, repeat 4 times
(this makes 5 petals). Close round with a slip stitch. Fasten off.
When you have finished all the flowers, turn work, determine the middle of the bottom
of the birdhouse and secure the garland onto it with a few stitches.( Make sure there is
not to much tension on the garland from point gable roof to bottom)
To make the birdhouse a bit sturdier by sewing some felt onto the back. It stops it
from curling around.
Heart

Round 1-Insert needlehook in 3th stitch from needle, crochet 2 sc. (3 sc)
