Its so cute. I really like it and the pattern doesn't seem to be impossible to make either XD
I really love your Christmas fairy, and am going to have a go at knitting him/her?? All my favourite things: a little bit of knitting and a little bit of embroidery. I'll post a picture of my results.
That fairy is too cute and the pattern is something even I could do...I am going to have to bookmark this post for a future project.
Im so happy that everyone finds this simple enough to make. Its something that you could change around a bit and make other things.
ENJOY

So sweet! Thank you for the pattern.
Your fairy is adorable! Great work on the trim pieces, they're perfect.
Hi. I have finished the Christmas fairy. I was so pleased with the way he has turned out. Thanks for the super pattern. Pictures on my blog!
Thank you so much for sharing your delightful faerie pattern. I'm going to knit it for a friend in hospital after an extremely bad car accident. Perhaps it will give her comfort.
I've made another fairy. Red this time. One of Frankie's friends is leaving to go to another school, and we thought it would make a really nice gift. I've not put it on my blog, but he is on my ravelry projects page.
