Gingerbread House© & Haunted House Pattern©
NOTE "this pattern is for all 3 houses."
I had so much fun making my Haunted House that
I decided to make a Christmas one...
and nothing says Christmas like a Gingerbread House...then I
came up with another idea, and the Doll House was born...I had so many
people interested in these Houses...I decided to sell them all
together...so you get all 3 for one low price...these houses are fun and so unique!

This charming little Doll House & Furniture will make any
little girl smile...the pattern comes with all the furniture and
all the little touches inside!
(I did add buttons, ribbon a butterfly for inspiration so these are not included)
The furniture is easy to make...this little house is so
fun and unique...truly a one of a kind!

how to make the crocodile stitch roof!
The Haunted House
This is one of my favorite projects...it was so fun to make...there are

in the grave yarn!
There's crazy pumpkins with wacky hair and a hand coming
out of the grave.
The Witch's brew heating over and open fire!
 Ghost just hanging around the house!
My Gingerbread House
This house just screams Christmas...this too was a lot of fun to make...and
friends and family really loved this house!
This house is filled with little touches...I did add buttons and ribbon!

with crochet gum drops, candy canes at the door, shutters and of
course the crocodile stitch roof!
The pattern comes with this candy dish, which is perfect for a 
candy cane display...ideal for welcoming guest!
I added this little tree to my display and sprinkled little gift

The Crochet Halloween Haunted House Pattern©

The Crochet Halloween Haunted House Pattern©
By Connie Hughes Designs©

There's a haunted house up on the hill,
its sure to give your blood quite a thrill.
It must be time to trick or treat because the
 ghosts just seem to be everywhere
even scary pumpkins sprouting crazy hair!


A candle flickers in the window so bright
burns all day and into night
those crazy pumpkins line the walk and I swear I think
"I just heard the green one talk"
So when you come passing by you'd better take care
and read the sign that says


because spooky ghosts are on the prowl seem to say "get out, get out now"!
A withering hand creeping through, and a boiling pot of witch's brew!
Happy Halloween to all of you!
