It’s high time to start thinking of gingerbread houses
There’s few things that say Christmas, like gingerbread houses. However, gingerbread is not everyone’s cup of tea and frosting as an adhesive is messy. So, why not try crocheted gingerbread houses? Consequently, you can have all of the beauty of a traditional one, but without the side “benefits”. The beautiful frosting along the edges of the crochet gingerbread looks like snow and icing and very Yuletide-y. Moreover, these are fun patterns that will get the kids involved as well.
