The image of log cabins has become synonymous with American pioneer life. So much so that they seem like an American invention. But, log cabins were first introduced by Scandinavian settlers in Delaware in the 1600s.

Log home construction has come a long way, but the warmth, durability, and inherently “outdoorsy vibe” of log homes and lodges never goes out of style. In the warm colors of a Delaware forest at dusk, this design features a simple log cabin surrounded by a few optional fireflies.

Colors and amounts used as shown:

A. Stunning String Legacy Worsted: Acorn (20 g/ 40 yd./ 36 m)
B. Aly Bee Workshop Merino Worsted: Semisweet (15g/ 32 yd./ 29 m)
C. Stunning String Legacy Worsted: Vineyard (10 g/ 21 yd./ 19 m)
D. Stunning String Legacy Worsted: Dried Hops (5 g/ 10 yd./ 9 m)
E. Malabrigo Rios: Vaa (25 g/ 54 yd./49 m)
F. Polka Dot Sheep Whitefish Worsted: Slate (20 g/ 40 yd./ 36 m)

Duplicate Stitch only

Optional: Approx. 5-8 yds of Glow in the Dark yarn to make the fireflies. I used Amigurumi Glow in the Dark by Circulo #10.
