Full Pattern
Pattern note: This is an original approximation developed from the visible design language of the reference image. Gauge and yarn choice can change the finished proportions, so compare your work to the listed size and adjust as needed.
Cottage Front: Ch 25. Rows 1–14: sc across (24). For roof slope, decrease 1 st at each end of every row until 4 sts remain. Fasten off.
Cottage Back: Repeat front without openings.
Roof Panels (make 2): Ch 29. Rows 1–6: sc across. Fasten off. Add a darker brown sc edging to one long side.
Door: Ch 7. Rows 1–9: sc across. Round top by working 2 hdc, 3 dc, 2 hdc across final row. Fasten off.
Window (make 3): Ch 6, sc in 2nd ch and across. Work 5 rows. Embroider a crossbar in gold or brown.
Mini Rose: Ch 18. In 2nd ch work 3 hdc; *sl st next ch, 4 dc next ch* repeat across. Roll strip and stitch base.
Leaf: Ch 8. Sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc along one side; 3 sc in tip; mirror back. Fasten off.
Heart: MR, ch 2, 3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr, ch 2, sl st in ring. Pull tight. Make two, join and lightly stuff.
Assembly and Finishing
Sew door and windows to the front panel. Add small rose clusters around them.
Join front and back with sc around edges, adding a little stuffing before closing.
Sew roof panels over the sloped top and add a tiny chimney if desired.
Attach several roses and leaves across the roofline and around the lower wall.
Make three 20–25 cm chain cords. Sew leaves and roses along each cord and add pearl-like beads between motifs.
Attach the cords beneath the cottage. Add the stuffed heart to the center cord.
Secure hanging cord through the roof apex and reinforce with several stitches.
Adjustment Notes
Keep stuffing light so the house remains flat enough to hang neatly. Use fewer roses for a cleaner farmhouse look.
