Delphinium Coastal Hamptons House – Crochet

Bring breezy seaside style to your craft shelf with this coastal Hamptons mini house, complete with a wraparound porch, airy upstairs lounge, and tiny nautical décor. If you love shopping for a crochet dollhouse kit, cotton yarn bundles, and a complete crochet hooks set, this build is a satisfying centerpiece.

Inside you’ll stitch miniature furniture, baskets, plants, and a sailor-themed friend to welcome guests at the steps. This design is ideal for makers browsing for amigurumi supplies, dollhouse furniture ideas, and premium mercerized cotton. Every tiny prop is included so your finished display looks richly styled.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Project Overview

This house is worked as a sturdy crocheted “shell” with a porch deck and railings, then filled with removable mini furnishings. The roof is textured to mimic shingles, the walls have clean horizontal rows, and the porch columns keep the structure square. The color palette follows the photo: coastal blue, white, and sandy cream.

The finished piece is a display model, not intended as a toy for very small children. Many parts are tiny and include wire, glue, and small beads. If you plan to sell finished items, price for the time in mini details. If you gift it, include a care card so it stays crisp.

Skill Level

Confident beginner to intermediate (lots of repetition, plus many small parts).
Best results if you can keep even tension and count rows accurately.
Mini accessories require patience and a smaller hook.

Finished Size (Approx.)

House base: 10–12 in wide (25–30 cm) including porch, depending on yarn and tension.
Height to roof peak: 10–11 in (25–28 cm).
Animal friend: 4–5 in (10–13 cm) tall seated.

Materials

Yarn (cotton recommended):
- Coastal Blue (roof + accents)
- White (trim, windows, railings, pillows)
- Sand/Light Beige (interior walls, porch floor, some baskets)
- Soft Gray-Blue (exterior siding panels)
- Medium Brown (wood floor tones, bear body shading, baskets)
- Rust/Orange-Brown (animal face + tail tones)
- Black (clock hands, tiny details)
- Green (plants + stems)
- Delphinium Purple, Lavender, and Periwinkle (front flowers)
- Optional: Aqua/Turquoise (surfboard stripe)
Hooks (use the size listed for each section):
- 2.75 mm (porch deck fabric if you crochet tightly and want speed)
- 2.5 mm (main house shell, roof panels)
- 2.25 mm (railings, windows, furniture covers)

Fiberfill stuffing
Plastic canvas sheet or thin craft foam (for walls/roof stiffening)
Chipboard/cardboard (base support)
Thin wire (22–26 gauge) for plants and hat brim (optional)

Abbreviations (US Terms)

ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)
dec = decrease (single crochet 2 together)
blo = back loop only
flo = front loop only

Notes on Tension and Stiffness

For the house shell, aim for firm fabric so the walls stand straight. If your stitches feel floppy, go down one hook size. For accessories, the smaller hook is essential so the pieces look crisp at miniature scale. Use stitch markers at corners and count carefully to keep windows level.

When instructed to add plastic canvas or foam, cut pieces slightly smaller than the crocheted panel so they slide in without bulging. If you dislike inserts, you can use heavy starch, but inserts hold shape longer. Glue is optional; neat sewing is usually enough for durability.

Section 1: Base Platform and Porch Deck

Hook: 2.75 mm for quick, sturdy fabric (or 2.5 mm if your tension is loose). Work in rows to create a firm rectangle. The porch wraps around the left and front sides like the photo, leaving an open “courtyard” look on the top floor.

Base Support (Optional but recommended)

Cut chipboard to your final base size (include porch footprint).
Cover edges with masking tape so yarn won’t snag.
Plan the front steps area centered like the photo.

Porch Deck Cover

Ch to match your base width. Example: ch 62 for a 10–11 in wide base with cotton.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–N: Sc across, ch 1, turn, until the deck panel matches base depth.
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing around the chipboard base.

If you want the “wood plank” impression seen on the porch area, switch to blo sc for every other row. This creates subtle ridges that look like boards. Keep the stitch rows straight. Sew the crochet cover onto the base support, pulling snug at corners.

Front Steps (Centered)

Hook: 2.5 mm. Make a small three-tier step unit that sits in front of the lower doorway. Keep it shallow so the animal friend can sit just in front, like the photo. Use light beige or a pale blue-gray to match the porch tone.

Step Block: Ch 16. Row 1: Sc across (15). Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–6: Sc across. Fasten off. Fold into a small “brick” and sew sides.
Make 2 more blocks, each slightly smaller (ch 14 then ch 12), same height.
Stack largest on bottom, then medium, then small. Sew layers together.

Section 2: House Shell (Lower Level Walls)

Hook: 2.5 mm. The house is an open-front dollhouse style: three walls plus a partial interior divider, with the porch forming the open side. Build the walls as flat panels, then join at edges. Keep windows aligned and trim clean in white.

Lower Back Wall Panel

With Soft Gray-Blue, ch to match interior width (example: ch 46).
Row 1: Sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–28: Sc across for a sturdy wall height.
Do not fasten off if you will add white trim directly around edges.

Add white trim by working a round of sc evenly around the rectangle: 3 sc in each corner. This creates the crisp frame edge visible in the photo. If you prefer cleaner corners, use (sc, ch 1, sc) at corners instead of 3 sc.

Lower Side Wall Panel (Right Side Interior Visible)

This wall shows a window on the upper right interior area and nautical décor (anchor) inside. Keep the exterior clean and add the interior pieces later so you can position them exactly.

With Sand/Beige for interior side and Soft Gray-Blue for exterior side, crochet two layers if you want a reversible wall.
Simple option: crochet one panel in Sand/Beige, then add an exterior “siding strip” panel in Soft Gray-Blue later.

One-panel method: Ch 34. Row 1 sc across (33). Rows 2–26 sc across. Add white trim around edges. Leave a window opening by skipping stitches in the middle rows, then framing it with white later. Details for window opening are below.

Lower Left Wall Panel (Exterior with Life Rings)

This side includes the coastal life rings mounted near the upper exterior and a tall glass door set. The photo shows multiple white-framed windows/doors on the left face. We’ll make a wide opening area and then stitch on window frames as appliqués.

With Soft Gray-Blue, ch 40.
Row 1: Sc across (39). Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–26: Sc across.
Add white edging around all sides.

Window and Door Openings (Simplified, Accurate Look)

Hook: 2.25 mm for crisp frames. Instead of cutting holes, you’ll apply white window grids onto the wall. This matches the photo’s clean framed panes and keeps walls stable. Make several identical window units, then sew them in place.

Large French Door/Window Unit (Make 2)

With White, ch 16.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and across (15). Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–16: Sc across.
Border: Work sc evenly around rectangle, 3 sc in corners.
Grid: Surface stitch vertical line down center; add 3 horizontal lines.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Square Window Unit (Make 2–3)

With White, ch 12.
Row 1: Sc across (11). Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–11: Sc across.
Border sc around; surface stitch a plus sign for 4 panes, then add one more horizontal line to mimic multi-pane.

Sew the large units on the lower left exterior to form the glass-door look. Place them side-by-side as in the photo. Sew one square window on the upper right interior wall area, and one on the upper left side. Add an extra small square window if your scale needs it.

Section 3: Upper Floor Platform and Balcony Rail

Hook: 2.5 mm for the platform, 2.25 mm for rails. The upper floor sits above the porch columns and forms the open balcony ring around the interior lounge. The rail is bright white with evenly spaced vertical posts, matching the photo.

Upper Floor Panel

With Sand/Beige, ch to match base width (example: ch 54).
Row 1: Sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–22: Sc across, or until depth matches the photo’s upper deck.
Edge with White: sc around panel to give a clean trim band.

Balcony Rail (Front and Left)

The rail is made from a top band, a bottom band, and repeated vertical pickets. Build it in sections, then sew to the balcony edge.

Top Band

Hook: 2.25 mm. With White, ch the length of front edge.
Row 1: Sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc across. Fasten off.

Bottom Band

Repeat the top band for the same length.

Vertical Pickets

With White and 2.25 mm hook, ch 5, sc in 2nd ch and across (4).
Rows 2–8: Sc across (4). Fasten off.
Make many pickets: spacing them closely creates the photo’s dense rail look.

Lay the bottom band flat. Sew pickets upright every 2 stitches. Then sew the top band over the picket tops to sandwich them. Attach the completed rail to the balcony edge. Add corner posts by stitching a thicker column piece (see porch posts).

Section 4: Porch Columns and Lower Rail

Hook: 2.25 mm for smooth, firm columns. The lower level shows white posts supporting the balcony. They are evenly spaced at the front. Make them stiff by crocheting tight and inserting a small skewer or rolled plastic canvas strip.

Column (Make 6–8 depending on your base)

With White, ch 2.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch (6).
Rnd 2: Sc around (6).
Rnds 3–22: Sc around (6) until column reaches desired height.
Fasten off, leave tail to sew. Insert stiffener, then close with a final round if needed.

Sew columns to the porch deck, aligning with the balcony edge above. Add a thin white “beam” strip under the balcony by crocheting a long sc band and sewing it around the perimeter. This hides joins and matches the photo’s clean porch architecture.

Section 5: Roof with Shingle Texture

Hook: 2.5 mm. The roof is a steep gable with blue shingle rows and white trim edges. Shingles are created by repeating a scallop-like stitch band. Keep the roof panels symmetrical so the peak sits centered and the interior remains open and visible.

Roof Panel (Make 2)

With Coastal Blue, ch 56 (or the length of the house depth).
Row 1: Sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: (Sc 1, hdc 1, dc 1, hdc 1, sc 1) into next 5 sts to form a mini shingle bump, then sc 1 in next st. Repeat across.
Row 3: Sc across in blo to lock the texture. Ch 1, turn.
Repeat Rows 2–3 until panel height matches the photo’s roof coverage.
Edge each panel with White sc for crisp trim.

📌Thank you for reading the article

Join roof panels at the peak using whip stitch through the white edges. For extra stability, sew a thin strip of plastic canvas along the inside peak seam. Attach the roof to the top of walls so the interior remains open at the front, like a cutaway display.

Upper Gable Triangles (Front and Back)

Hook: 2.5 mm. With Sand/Beige for interior and Soft Gray-Blue for exterior, make triangles that fill the roof ends. Add a small round window on the right gable like in the photo.

Ch 2, sc 3 in 2nd ch (3).
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, inc in each st (6).
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, (sc, inc) across (9).
Continue increasing 3 sts per row until triangle width matches roof end.
Edge with White sc around triangle.

Round Porthole Window (Make 1)

Hook: 1.5 mm. With White, ch 2, 8 sc in 2nd ch, sl st to join. Rnd 2: inc around (16). Rnd 3: sc around. Add a cross grid with surface stitch. Sew onto the right gable interior wall area.

Section 6: Interior Upper Lounge (Sofa, Pillows, Coffee Table)

Hook: 2.25 mm for furniture, 1.75 mm for tiny accessories. The upper level shows an L-shaped white sofa with blue cushions, a small wood-tone coffee table, a floor lamp, wall clock, and framed seaside art. Make each piece removable for easy cleaning.

L-Shaped Sofa (White)

Create two sofa blocks: a long base and a short base, then join at a right angle. Work tightly so corners stay crisp.

Long Seat Block

Hook: 2.25 mm. With White, ch 26.
Row 1: Sc across (25). Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–8: Sc across. Fasten off.
Fold into a box: sew side seams and bottom, stuff lightly, then close.

Short Seat Block

With White, ch 18.
Row 1: Sc across (17). Rows 2–8: Sc across.
Assemble into a box, stuff lightly, close.

Backrests (Make 2)

With White, ch to match each seat length (long: ch 26; short: ch 18).
Work 6 rows of sc, then sew along back edge of each seat.
For a softer upholstered look, add a second layer panel and sandwich a thin foam strip.

Sew the short seat to the end of the long seat to form an L. Add a thin “arm” panel on the outer ends: a 3-row sc strip sewn upright. Keep the inner corner open like the photo’s lounge seating arrangement.

Throw Pillows (Blue and White)

Hook: 2.0 mm for tiny squares. Make several: two light blue, one darker blue, and one white textured pillow. Stitch them onto the sofa lightly so they stay posed but can still be adjusted.

Ch 9. Row 1 sc across (8). Rows 2–8 sc across. Make 2 squares per pillow.
Sew squares together, stuff lightly, close.
Add optional texture: surface stitch a small crosshatch on one pillow.

Coffee Table (Wood Tone)

Hook: 2.0 mm. With light brown, crochet a flat top and a small open shelf. The photo shows a low rectangular table with items on top. Keep legs short and corners neat.

Ch 14. Row 1 sc across (13). Rows 2–7 sc across for tabletop.
Make a second identical panel for the shelf.
Legs: make 4 posts, each ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch, then sc around for 6–7 rnds.
Sew legs to underside of top. Sew shelf halfway down legs.

Tabletop Décor (Candles, Tray, Book)

Section 15: Final House Assembly (Panels, Floors, Roof, Rails)

Hook: Use 2.5 mm for joining big panels, 2.25 mm for trim touch-ups. Assemble in this order for the cleanest alignment: lower walls, upper floor, balcony rail, porch columns, roof, then décor. Always pin first, then sew with long tails for invisible seams.

Sew lower back wall to lower side walls at right angles. Keep bottom edges perfectly aligned to the base.
Sew the assembled lower walls onto the base platform, leaving the front open as shown.
Attach porch columns and the underside beam strip, then place the upper floor panel on top.
Sew balcony rail to the upper floor edge (front and left) with consistent spacing.
Attach roof panels at the peak, then sew roof edges to the wall tops.
Add gable triangles, then sew the porthole window onto the right gable.

After structure is stable, position furniture: sofa along the right interior wall, coffee table centered in front, counter behind sofa area, stools at the counter, and décor on walls. Place surfboard leaning by the left doors. Arrange baskets and planters last so they don’t get squashed during sewing.

Section 16: Placement Map (Match the Photo)

Upper left exterior wall: two life rings stacked diagonally.
Upper balcony: two wicker chairs at left, surfboard leaning near doors, small pillows on sofa.
Upper back wall: framed seaside art and a centered clock above seating.
Upper right wall: window and navy anchor motif.
Lower porch left: striped mat and small baskets near corner.
Lower right storage nook: hanging towel, hat, and a basket cluster.
Front garden: two long planters packed with delphinium spikes in purple tones.
Front steps: animal friend seated centered at the entry.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Check that all walls sit square and the roof peak is centered. Add a few hidden tack stitches to keep the balcony rail straight. For the animal friend, embroider a small nose triangle, a short smile, and tiny eyebrow stitches. Lightly blush cheeks with pastel if desired.

Care Notes

Display away from direct sun to prevent fading, especially the coastal blue roof and purple flowers. Keep dust minimal by using a soft makeup brush weekly. Avoid pulling on small décor pieces. If you move the house, lift from the base with two hands rather than the balcony rail.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

For light cleaning, use a dry soft brush and gentle air puffs. For deeper cleaning, remove loose furniture and spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely. Never soak the entire house. Store in a clear display case or breathable dust bag to keep it crisp.
