[@ThisPixieCreates]

Hi friends! I hope you enjoy the gnome making process. All of the links for the pattern and the designer (Olga Chemerys) can be found in the description box above. ☺

[@debkrush]

LOVE it! I've been crocheting for 50+ years. Sometimes you have to make do with what you have. I love your gnome! GREAT work!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you so much Deb!! 50 years crocheting is amazing - I hope I can get there one day. 🥰

[@ashleyburks4639]

The little story your husband has for the knomb was so cute and your storytelling made it just the sweetest! Made me a little emotional! Lol

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thanks Ashley!! :)

[@pattytabbert6485]

I LOVE your gnome and would not re-do with the new yarn. I love your husband's support of you and his story! Enjoy for years!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you so much Patty!! He is a real sweetheart - always supportive no matter what. 🥰

[@georgiacorey954]

It's adorable as is & so is the story of looking for a tree. I love it!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thanks Georgia! So glad you like it. 🥰

[@HeartfeltYarnGardenCrafter]

He's cute! I would keep him as he is. It's all good! 😊

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thanks Janet - I did! He's been sitting on my shelf all year, even though he's supposed to be strictly for Christmas haha. :)

[@petraharrell1925]

I think it's absolutely adorable! No way would I change it... It's such a cute gift!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you Petra!! I'm so glad you like it. I've grown to love it, so I won't be changing it. 🥰

[@lisas7025]

Thank you for your video and all the tips. I bought this pattern a little while ago and making it with the same yarn (Canadian here) so now I can see what he will look like. I also bought the bee and ladybug ones.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

You're welcome Lisa!! I hope the tips come in handy as you're making it. It's always nice to meet a fellow Canadian crocheter. Good luck on your gnome, lady bug, and bee.🥰

[@mojonewslk]

I think it's absolutely adorable!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you Mojo! 🥰

[@mdietz7]

This was so pleasant to watch.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thank you so much Michael! Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️

[@jennifers1006]

Really enjoyed the video. I liked seeing the whole process and the mishaps(thanks for not cutting them out of the video)...cause I always seem to mess up in some way. It was good to see that I'm not the only one. The Gnome looks amazing...

[@MariaMorales-pc9ze]

I just found your channel and I subscribed. You do a great job explaining how to crochet 😊 I watched your video on how to crochet a bookmark. I'm starting my project today. Please continue making these great videos 😊 Thank you.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment Maria - I really needed to hear something nice today. How did your bookmark turn out? ☺

[@MariaMorales-pc9ze]

You are very welcome sweetie. I plan on doing my bookmark after I cook dinner for my little fatties, I have three of them (children) I wish you much success on your channel, please continue posting videos. You seem like such a caring person, you remind me of my daughter. She is 23 years old and she has a great book collection like you. I am making the bookmark for her, hoping I do a good job so I can make her a collection for her birthday ☺️

[@nammyg5151]

Hi Pixie. I’m so happy to have found you. I have just purchased the yarn to do that very Gnome tree I think it’s so cute and next is the hot chocolate one quite the coincidence. Seeing your work is motivating me to get going on mine. Thank you for sharing. ❤🇨🇦

[@nammyg5151]

I can’t get passed the point at the top of the tree. Wish it was bottom up

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Hi Nammy!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. What a coincidence that we both fell in love with the same gnome patterns haha (they're all so cute - it's hard to choose a favourite). Good luck on making your gnomes. I hope it's a fun and smooth process. 🥰❤

[@ThisPixieCreates]

@@nammyg5151 I had trouble with that section too just because it was so few stitches in each round (makes everything really tight). Just try to work one round at a time, slowly, and mark your progress as you go. That's the only advice I can offer. I hope you can get past that part!

[@aliconnor710]

It looks great, well done. I’m going to make my own version of this. Yours is a lot bigger than the photo.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thanks Alison! And yay - that's awesome. I hope you have fun making your gnome. I know haha. The pattern used a smaller hook and smaller weight yarn, but said you could use what you have, so I did. Came out much larger with a 4.0mm hook and worsted weight yarn. :)

[@aliconnor710]

@@ThisPixieCreates I am struggling to find small bells so a larger Gnome is probably better, we call these Gonk’s in the UK not Gnome’s 😂

[@ThisPixieCreates]

@@aliconnor710 Hahaha I love that - gonk's sound a lot more fun than gnomes. I hope you can find smaller bells somewhere!

[@marshagoolsbee389]

So adorable- don't change it!!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you Marsha!! I won't change it, I promise. ❤

[@Kimscrochetandknits]

Great job !! I love mufficorn patterns too ❤

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you Kim! She's such a talented designer. 🥰

[@tambrayork1652]

I would keep it just the way it is. There are lots variations in nature. ❤

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thanks Tambra! That’s so true. 😊

[@LolaRyck]

The bottom could have been done in brown too. Like the trunk :) I do love the story your husband said too❤

[@monicabenitezsanchez7914]

Pode poner el patrón en España

[@daniellethompson681]

Welcome back, Dayna. What a joyful video to return with. Absolutely beautiful 😍 Lovely to see you. You've been missed x

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you so much Danielle!! It feels nice to be crocheting and making videos again. How is everything going with you? Are you working on any projects? ❤

[@christinemouawad9564]

Can u just please tell me how the tree leaves are made?

[@e.r.7785]

Yuhuuuuuuu that's exactly what I was looking for thank you so much 💙

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Yay!! You’re so welcome! ❤️

[@bonniemcpherson8021]

So very cute God bless stay safe

[@barbaramcmahon3956]

Hi, you can get bernat at Meirs stores. Love your gnome.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Hi Barbara! That’s awesome to hear that you can get it at Meijer. I haven’t had any luck with my local Meijer, but it gives me hope that maybe it’ll be in other cities. So thank you! 😊

[@annamariasossai8325]

Ciao potresti far vedere come si fa ,con i punti esatti ,così non si capisce come fare questo bellissimo lavoro, grazie

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thanks Anna Maria! Unfortunately, I can't do a tutorial (show every step) because this is not my pattern. It was designed by Olga Chemerys. I will link the pattern here for you. It's very easy to follow and she has a video tutorial for the tricky part: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/christmas-tree-gnome-9. I hope this helps! 🙂

[@kpatyoliveira]

❤❤❤❤

[@monicabenitezsanchez7914]

Puede ponerlo el patrón en España gracias

[@catherinewest6180]

I have this pattern and can’t get the you tube link to work showing how to do the shell stitch on the hat… I can’t see a maker name on the pattern either 🤦🏼‍♀️ can you point me in right direction where it it please 🙏 I can’t get started! I have tried! Thanks!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Hi Catherine! The link for the video tutorial can be found at the bottom of pg. 3 of the pattern. But if it isn't working, I'd send her a message, and she can resend you the link. It looks like the best place for you to contact her is through her Instagram page here: instagram.com/muffi_corn/. There is a message button right next to her username, so hopefully she'll be in touch shortly! I hope this helps. :)

[@Elviraknits]

❤очень милый гном. Мне понравилось твоё видео, ты молодец 👏🏻

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thank you so much Elvira! 🥰

[@zenzetino8345]

The color don’t bother me, it’s super cute

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you Zen! I appreciate it. 🥰

[@annmarielal]

You did a fab job

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thanks so much AnnMarie! 🥰

[@Sha7136]

Que preciosidad😍

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@juliebrown1510]

I thought you were going to teach use on how to crochet that? Bummer.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Sorry to disappoint you Julie,. It's not my pattern, so I can't show you how to make it (copyright). I just gave my thoughts and a few tips that helped me. However, the pattern is linked here, if you'd like to make it. It's really well written and easy to follow. :) www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/christmas-tree-gnome-9

[@aliconnor710]

It’s a simple cone with shell stitch for the leaves, although I would have started from the bottom and stitched in the arms as I went then the only parts to sew is the beard and nose.

[@adelematta9403]

Se volevamo un modello di gnomo a pagamento ce lo potevamo cercare da sole...questo video per quel che mi riguarda è inutile...

[@ashleyburks4639]

​@@adelematta9403THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO IS CROCHET BLOG AND PATTERN REVIEW! ON THE THUMBNAIL, IT SAID NOT A TUTORIAL! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF YOU CLICKING ON THE VIDEO IF YOU CAN READ!! THERE ARE PROBABLY A HUNDRED VIDEOS ABOUT CROCHETING A GNOME ON KZbin!! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CLICK ON THIS, SEEING AS HOW IT'S ( NOT A TUTORIAL!!!! )

[@ashleyburks4639]

Thumbnail literally said not a tutorial.

[@Laura-re9ye]

My sister collects gnomes.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

I might be heading down that path too. 😂

[@ButteredFlied]

When you said “husband” i did a double take. I thought you were in middle school lol no offense! Great job on the gnome!

[@ThisPixieCreates]

No offense taken hahaha! I get that a lot. 😊

[@not2old2bcrafty]

I love your gnome just thecway it is. Definitely DON'T redo the top. To me it just looks as if it was intentional. Btw, the difference is so small, most people would probably not notice it unless you point it out.

[@ThisPixieCreates]

Aww thank you so much Cecilia! I've grown to love the subtle difference. By the way, I love your username. 🥰

[@satsumamoon]

why would this interest anyone but yourself? We expect to watch make a gnome from start to finish and follow along. Please, what is the point of this?

[@aliconnor710]

The point of this is so you can make it ! You don’t need to buy the pattern, it’s a simple cone with a shell stitch 🤷‍♀️

[@ThisPixieCreates]

I understand that this video is not for you. You prefer tutorials, as do many crocheters. But some crocheters like this style of video, where they can see a timelapse of something being made, and work on their own crochet project as they listen and follow along. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. I also wanted to share a pattern that I thought was cool, challenge myself to make it (as I haven't made an amigurumi in 4 years), and give my pattern review/tips that I found helpful, in the hopes that this might help someone else who is trying to make it. :)

[@satsumamoon]

@@ThisPixieCreates but we cant follow along, that my point dear.
