🏚 A-Frame Roof With Cream Trim & Lining
The roof has:
-
Burgundy outer panels
-
Cream trim along ALL exposed edges
-
Cream lining visible on the underside

A green stripe just inside the trim
You will make two-layered panels: burgundy outer + slightly smaller cream inner.

R2: ch 1, turn, inc in each st → 4
R3: ch 1, turn, sc 1, inc, sc 1, inc → 6
R4: ch 1, turn, (2 sc, inc) ×2 → 8
Continue increasing 2 sts each row by working inc in last st of each row:
Row n: ch 1, turn, sc across to last st, inc in last st.
Work until you have 48 sts across the row (wide and steep like in the photo).
Then work straight:
Rows: ch 1, turn, sc 48 across
Repeat straight rows until the triangular panel’s height is about 1.75× the cottage wall height.

R1–…: Increase as above until 44 sts, then work straight rows to nearly match outer panel height. FO.
🧵 Joining Panels & Cream Trim
With wrong sides together (burgundy outside, cream inside):
-
Align one lining piece behind one burgundy piece.
-
With cream yarn, work sc through both layers all the way around the roof panel edges. This creates the visible cream edge trim along the roof like in the photo.
-
Repeat for second panel.
🌿 Green Inner Stripe
With green yarn on the burgundy side, surface crochet a narrow line that mirrors the roof edge, about 1–2 sts in from the cream trim. Do this on both panels.
🧷 Roof Assembly
Place both panels together, cream sides facing inward, burgundy sides outward.
With cream yarn, sew or sc together along the top seam to form the A-frame.
Position assembled roof on top of cottage so it overhangs evenly front and back, then sew along the top edge of the walls only, leaving the overhang free.
🪜 Tall Chimney (Beige + Burgundy Cap)
Chimney Shaft (Beige/Cream)
R1: MR, 6 sc
R2: inc ×6 → 12

🪵 Wood-Style Display Base (Dark Brown)
R1: MR, 6 sc
R2: inc ×6 → 12
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 → 18
