It’s week 2, everyone! Last week we did just the legs, but we’ll be doing quite a bit more this week. Get ready to finish the body and make the head.
Below is the video tutorial.
If you’d rather buy the pattern and finish at your own pace rather than wait a week, you can buy the full PDF on Etsy.
Have fun!
Materials:
-1 skein Lion Brand Yarn Vanna’s Choice in Terracotta
-4mm (G) crochet hook
-2 – 10mm black plastic safety eyes
-black embroidery thread (for Fiona)
-yarn needle
-Poly-fil
-stitch marker
-scissors
Stitches:
Magic circle
sc – single crochet
sc2tog – single crochet 2 together/single crochet decrease
Gauge:5 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch square Fox size: 11 inches tall.
Pattern Notes:
- Every part of the fox, aside from the outfits, will be made using continuous rounds. No slip stitching. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.
- There are 2 foxes: Felix & Fiona. They have the same body, but different outfits.
- Fiona will have eyelashes, but Felix will not. If you would like to add eyebrows for Felix, feel free. It would be adorable!
- I strongly recommend using stitch markers or a scrap piece of yarn to keep track of rounds. I have tried it without before and it can turn into a nightmare!
- Don’t stuff foxes too full with poly-fil. You want them to be nice and huggable. Also, you want their clothes to fit properly.
