White Frosting Trim (with G hook):
- Pull up a loop in the front loop only of one of the back corners of the roof. You will work in the front loops only around the roof. You will sc on each of the shorter sides. Once you reach the front and back of the roof, sc, ch 3, sl st the next 2 sts and sl st into the next stitch to make an icicle/drop. Sc the next 2 stitches and repeat the icicle/drop. Continue around the roof (remember to sc on each side) and sl st into the first stitch and fasten off. Weave in end.
- Now pull up a loop at the top side right under the roof. Make sure to get under a white stitch from the roof so the frosting can look connected. Sc around the front of the house through both loops. Sl st to the top of the roof on the other side and fasten off. Weave in end.
- Pull up a loop on the front inside trim of the floor and wall. Sc across the floor in both loops, fasten off. Pull up a loop at the T part of the floor and wall (make sure to get under the middle white stitch of the floor so everything looks connected) and sc down the wall. Fasten off, weave in ends.
- Pull up a loop on the bottom edge of the house connecting with a white stitch and sc around the bottom. Fasten off, weave in end. Sc up each side and fasten off connecting with the white stitch from the roof. Fasten off and weave in ends.
