Want to live in the Shire? Me too! This pattern is my attempt to bring the joy of the Shire to knitter’s backyards!

This playful design consists of a door, windows and chimney. The door and windows are double-sided so there is no need to block.My hope is that hobbit holes spring up all over the world and that they bring the peace of the Shire with them!

Construction
The door and windows are knit entirely in the round on dpns, beginning at the center back and ending with pretty decreases at the center front. The door knob and window frame are made with embroidery. The chimney is also knit in the round. It is flipped inside out so you don’t have to do all those pesky purl stitches. I have also included a fun photo tutorial on how to construct your own earthen hobbit hole.
