Hi! It’s been two week since I got a hamster named Fufik. It’s quite hot now, and his plastic house is like a frying pan. I’ve decided to crochet a cool jute house for him! I’d like to share the crochet pattern with you =D

This pattern is well-suited for creating a house for any type of hamster. When choosing a thicker yarn and an appropriate hook, you will automatically get a larger house for your pet.
Skills: pattern is written for beginner crocheters. You will need to know how to use a magic circle, single crochet, double crochet and how to increase and decrease.
The finished size of the house will be approximately 5’’ x 5’’, assuming you use the recommended yarn and hook size provided here.

Materials for acorn-house

1. Approximately 100 yards Natural Jute 1.5mm twine
2. Cotton yarn (like Charm from Vita) – you can choose acrylic because the hamster might chew on the cotton thread, but of course, cotton is more pleasant and breathable: Meterage: 116 yards(106 meters) Unit weight: 50 grams (1.76 ounces) you will need green color
3. Steel hook UK12 (2.50 mm) / US C/2
4. Sewing needle with a large eye, scissors
