It all started in the Spring of 2014 when I was talking with hubby and all of the sudden I saw the cutest image in my mind! A cute little kitty looking out a window of a vintage caravan! Right then I knew that that had to be my next crochet project adventure! =D
One year and a half later here it is! The vision came to life and now you can also make your own On the Road House for your cute pets! ^^
The On the Road House is very spacious! (Height: 44cm / 17 inches; Width: 76cm / 30 inches; Depth: 38cm /15 inches) It fits 2 to 3 cats or small dogs. Perfect for those furry friends that like to huddle up together to sleep. It has a pillow inside so that your pets can sleep comfy and warm.
This crochet home has windows on all its sides. You can’t escape their eyes!
The PDF pattern for the On the Road House has 50 pages with detailed step by step instructions with pictures to demonstrate assembly or any special techniques.
Can you tell me how it stands..if there is any wire or anything used? I want to be sure I can do pattern before I purchase. Thanks!
Hi Tammy,
To help the house to stand I used wires and plastic canvas inside it.
The wires are weaved into the stitches or into the plastic canvas. The pattern includes step by step instructions (with pictures) on how to do that!
Thank you!

I wish my town would sell T Shirt yarn
Hi Gail,
This is the website of a brand I sometimes use (they ship worldwide): http://www.tektek.pt
You can make your own t-shirt yarn as well. Here is a tutorial on how to make it: http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.pt/2008/03/tutorial-t-shirt-yarn.html
Hope it helps!
