YARN: For the Gingerbread House version of this pattern, I used Berroco Vintage Worsted ‘Cork’ #5156 – which I bought in December 2013. Just before publishing the final pattern, I discovered that this color may have been discontinued! You may still find ‘Cork’ on-line or at your local yarn store. These Berroco Vintage colors might be a good substitute: ‘Caramel’ #5196 or ‘Toast’ #51102.

This pattern also works well with Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted or other worsted weight yarns.


QUESTIONS: I am happy to answer any questions about the pattern. I want you to be successful!
