  • Yarn: Worsted weight yarn #4 in white, green, brown, red, blue, & dark brown. I used Red Heart Super Saver.
  • Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.

Crochet Gingerbread House Pattern

Skill Level

Advanced beginners. This crochet gingerbread house pattern is made using the corner to corner (c2c) stitch pattern method. It involves color changes.  

Finished Size

My crochet gingerbread house square measures 17″ by 17″.

Gauge

8 squares (ch 3 + 3 dc) = 4 inches

Crochet Terms

  • dc = double crochet
  • sc = single crochet
  • ch/chs = chain/chains
  • st/sts = stitch/stitches
  • sl st = slip stitch

C2C Crochet Technique

  • The pattern is made using the c2c technique. You make “squares” in diagonal rows starting in one corner and ending in the opposite corner.
  • Each square is made of a chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
  • Chain 6 to start a new row and chain 3 to start a new square.
  • You can follow the picture graph or the written pattern.
  • The written pattern tells you how many squares to make of each color and in what order.
