Get out some paper.
Draw a line right to left, then straight up, then diagonal from that top left to bottom right (triangle), then straight up, then close the box by going left, then give it a roof coming down to that top right (another triangle), finally go diagonally from the top right to bottom left.
Now you have the house (or barn) without lifting your pen.
I feel like you could do that in a much less complicated way without the weird X going through it.
Just draw a square starting from the top left going clockwise, and then when you close the square back in the top left corner, keep your pen on the page and cap it with a triangle.
Oh this is one of those tricky childhood things where you’re supposed to draw it without overlapping lines or lifting your pen.

Followed the instructions as exactly as I could manage, though the
then give it a roof coming down to that top right (another triangle)part is very confusing. You start at the top left there because you just ‘closed the box by going left’. Going to the top right would retrace the line exactly and wouldn’t create a triangle.unitedwithme@lemmy.today 1 week ago
I got you, the peak to the house was probably bad instructions.

Yeah … all the other instructions were for a single straight line. Having step 6 here be a line with an angled bend in it (basically two lines) really needs to be clarified if that’s the case.
Still says nothing at all about the length and proportions of these lines, though, so there’s still plenty of opportunity to fuck it up:

Touche on the bent line
