Christmas House Crocheted on a # 10 coffee can

[mamabear33]

Around 30 years ago I crocheted a Christmas House on a #10 coffee can. I believe it may have a been a Hercsherrs Pattern. Does anyone know where I might search for it.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago my mom bought a Christmas house can cover at a yardsale. she brought it to me and I wrote the pattern to the best of my ability. I do not have a picture as I am blind, but hopefully this will help.
