Week 3 of the Felix & Fiona Fox Crochet-along is here! I’m so excited to help you make your little fox a whole lot cuter. This week, we’ll be adding a nose, ears, arms, and a cute tail.
Check out the video below for a full 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!

Stitches:
Magic circle
sc – single crochet
sc2tog – single crochet 2 together/single crochet decrease
sl st – slip stitch
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.
- 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.
