The timber-framed houses of Normandy, Alsace or Rouen suit tapestry crochet perfectly: their dark beams already draw a grid. Our design keeps the essentials, a pointed burgundy roof, two sky-blue windows and brown beams on sand-coloured walls.
The chart is 14 stitches by 14 rows. The horizontal beam lines are worked in one go, which makes it good practice for carrying the background yarn without cutting it.
Line up several houses with different roof colours and you get a pretty street for a blanket or a cushion cover. Block the finished piece with steam to straighten the beam lines.
