HOW TO CROCHET PIXEL ART: an epic combo of tunisian crochet + cross stitch

[@scootskie]

This is just embroidery though 😭 I was excited when it said STITCH! Edit: She changed the title, now it correctly describes the work done.

[@ih4tecsh]

same :,,)

[@katsscorner]

I apologize that you feel misled! I call it a 'stitch' as that is how the technique is referred to in cross stitch which was my main inspiration for this look/outcome

[@scootskie]

@@katsscorner It’s very misleading though since the title is crochet stitch, it should say embroidery stitch

[@carinabakewell2311]

Cross stitch😂😂😂😂

[@aikaika9078]

That one issue 😂

[@mary1477]

i used to cross stitch a ton, but i can’t see that well now, so i had to stop. this looks like a great alternative though, should be fun. saving it for those long winter evenings for sure. thanks for sharing ❤

[@ginnabaker2725]

I've been trying for pixel crochet for a while. This is great! Thanks for the tips for making the squares look full (smaller hook, double-thick X stitch)

[@foxykuromi]

Spectecular give me 14 of that rn!!! Clear explanation and good work 💟💟

[@aulsa1056]

this is so smart ! ty i love this clean square finish ♥

[@catazanoni1455]

Although I thought it was going to be a crochet stitch (to me it looked like a bobble stitch to make the pixels), it's a great idea I'll try it Thanks for sharing

[@katsscorner]

@@catazanoni1455 bobble stitch isnt a bad idea!! id really like to see that!! thank YOU for watching🫶🏻✨❤️

[@RiLurin]

It looks fun! Imma do it when i learn to crochet

[@melxna.m]

hey would it be the same result if the base is standard crochet? thank you, very cute design~

[@katsscorner]

@@melxna.m im not totally sure! i dont see why it wouldnt give the same results, but it might be harder to find the box to cross stitch over- let me know if you experiment and what you find out!

[@thethriftyfawn]

This is awesome in every way possible!!! I had heard of tunisian crochet in the past but never thought anything of it or looked into it. Here because I wanted to learn how to put pixel art on top of crochet... your sample is SOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUTE!!! 😍 I wanna try this, so I guess I'm gonna have to look into tunisian crochet, the tools needed and where to get them, and also how to pronounce 'tunisian' as well LOL!!! 🤣 If you would consider doing a small sample and demonstration of the entire process of this technique in a future video, that would be absolutely EPIIIIIIIC! It would be a great one stop watch for those of us who are visual and auditory, and don't want to go searching elsewhere for instructions on how to create the featured project. Your sample was so cute! Fawn 💕

[@rumeysademiray15]

Can i use this tecnique to make a cardigan as well? When i wash it would it look bad?

[@katsscorner]

to be quite honest, i'm not sure! i don't see why you wouldn't be able to, but it would take the utmost care and dedication

[@stagbeetle303]

Tysm! I love learning new things, so I'm glad your video popped up in my feed! :)

[@Lucia_G]

Hi Kat! 💖 Thanks for the tutorial!! I have a question: how do you create the strawberry in your video miniature? Did you cross stitch white over the white to get the same texture in all of your patern? Thank you! 😊

[@katsscorner]

@@Lucia_G hi yes! i did cross stitch white over white to make the background cohesive. best of luck on your project!

[@Lucia_G]

​@@katsscorner Thank you so much!! ☺️ I'll try some Pokémon and other things in near future (I'll give you credit, I'm learning this technique thanks to you). You're so sweet, thank you again!! 💖💖💖

[@ludmilla5693]

So i made the cross stich for the base color too?

[@katsscorner]

Yes!

[@thethriftyfawn]

Hey Kat! Would you consider including a link for the tunisian crochet hooks you use in this video as well? There is a lot of traffic on this video, and viewers may be curious to know- especially if they haven't proceeded to watch the full tutorial! 😊

[@katsscorner]

@@thethriftyfawn can do! thank you fawn 🫶🏻

[@jinns9503]

Ok but which stitch is the base? Id love to see a full process where you show how to convert images to pixel art/crosstitch patterns, then how to make the base (cream) fabric, then the actual application of method. I want to make my son a mincraft creeper pillow and this would be perfect!

[@lanasolos_]

The base stitch is called tunisian simple stitch! KZbin can provide an easy tutorial to make it, although you might need to buy a special hook that's longer to make a pillow.

[@jinns9503]

@@lanasolos_ I have a full set of t-hooks I bought them with the over confident belief that I could totally figure it out lol. Im getting there its just taking a wee bit longer than I thought it would. Thank you for the info, I will search away.

[@katsscorner]

ill get to work on a start to finish process vid!! thank you for your support, i want you to have all of the necessary knowledge to make the BEST creeper pillow for your son 🫶🏻✨

[@krizmendoza4614]

So we're going to x stitch on the I part..? I like this more than the others I watched. But how do you make the tunisian so flat???

[@katsscorner]

@@krizmendoza4614 yes you x stitch on the I part & the tunisian base will flatten as you stitch over it!

[@krizmendoza4614]

@katsscorner okay, thanks so much for the answer! 😊

[@atrotsiuk]

This is so smart! Thanks for sharing!

[@Azamd894]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@also41639]

i don't know eng so much can you tellme how you did surface (double crochet or something) and how conclusion is look so smooth did you do this every piece of crochet its hard

[@katsscorner]

@@also41639 your english is good!! keep working at it :) i think this explains what you're asking: first- use tunisian crochet (the tunisian simple stitch) to make a base second- embroider the design onto the cloth i hope this helps! please let me know if you have anymore questions!

[@mariesilva5649]

Ran over here from TikTok!

[@Lowtiergecko]

I need to try this

[@hachi5362]

Do u have to block the piece for it to lay flat 🤔

[@katsscorner]

nope! after you've done all of your cross stitching it will lay flat; i did not block the strawberry piece in the video

[@yeahokay-c9o]

man idk why anyone's hating on this! you were so clear in the video, thumbnail, and title 😭😭. Great video can't wait to see more!! (also p.s. imo if you are using a crochet hook, you are doing crochet likeeeee)

[@katsscorner]

thank you so much

[@colenugget1620]

I'm making a bag for my mum as a gift but I've never done tunisian crochet before. I want to do a little tapestry to practice first but I was unsure how to do a nice pixel art. This is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@carinabakewell2311]

Basically, use the base as Aida cloth and follow your pattern for cross stitching...for me could be a bit bulky...

[@ollyoop4202]

I’ll eat it

[@conan4real]

i fear I've fallen for crochet click bait.. the thumbnail saying CROCHET TUTORIAL: tunisian pixel stitch is very misleading i feel :(

[@conan4real]

you don't show ANY crochet in this video.. i feel like how to cross stitch ON crochet would've been a more apt title.. going to go cry myself to sleep over this

[@katsscorner]

@@conan4real this has been brought to my attention so i've changed the title of the video but unfortunately cannot change the thumbnail at this point in time. if you're interested i do have a beginning to end process video uploaded after this one, have a great day :)

[@azari_osaka]

@@katsscorneru changed the title but it still says “crochet pixel art” which is simply just not what you’re doing lol. it’s basic embroidery cross stitch. how disappointing :(

[@laura-ni3bk]

@@azari_osaka it still looks amazing, not that disappointing

[@relatableusername]

It's misleading so yeah, pretty disappointing ​@@laura-ni3bk

[@user-sh5mg2kr3k]

Well, this is not crochet.
