4. Polyester fiberfill 5. Black cotton thread (or yarn) for stitching the face 6. Darning and embroidery needle 7. Pins 8. Pet brush About the yarn Choose woollen or acrylic yarn if you want to make fluffy tail using pet brush. Other fibers may not work as well. I recommend to test brushing on a small crochet piece to make sure your chosen yarn is suitable for it. About the pattern

Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed. In amigurumi most of the pieces begin with a magic ring. If you don`t want to use that, you

can easily start by chaining 2 and working the stitches of the first round (mostly 6 sc) in the second stitch from hook. After that continue to round 2.

Use a stitch marker and place it in the first stitch of the round to mark the beginning of it. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round after finishing the previous one.

If you need to change color, do it always at the end of the previous round. Start the last stitch of the round with the current color in use. Change to the new color right before you draw through all loops on the hook to complete the last stitch.

I advise using the invisible sc decrease to achieve a smoother surface. In the place where you need to decrease insert your hook in the front loop of the stitch (do not yarn over), insert the hook in the front loop of the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through all (2) loops on hook.

When finishing an amigurumi piece there is a difference between the height of the beginning and the end of the last round. That makes sewing the pieces together more difficult. To smooth this out, crochet an extra slip stitch, then ch 1 and after cutting the yarn pull the yarn tail out of the next stitch.

You can easily sew the toy together by leaving a long tail of yarn on each piece. Stitch explanation Decrease (sc2tog) - Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Abbreviations sl st - slip stitch ch - chain sc - single crochet st(s) - stitch(es) rep - repeat

Weave the yarn through the front loops of all 6 sts and pull tightly. Make a knot and hide the

yarntail.

Stitch an edging to the face using a long strand of color A and a darning needle. Start right where

you changed color. Work vertical stitches using stitch spaces before and after the first round made

in white.

Weave in yarn ends. EAR (make 2) 1: Color C. Work 6 sc in a magic ring [6] 2: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) rep 3 times [9] 3: Color A.

Pin the ears onto her head. Hold the head with the face looking at you, start 3 rounds above the

color change and leave about 13 empty stitch spaces between the two ears.

Gently press the ears against the head, so that they are flat. Attach with pins in the right position

and sew them to the back side of the head.


6

Stitch the nose and mouth. I used black yarn for the nose and thread for the mouth in order to get

thinner lines.

Stitch the eyes with black thread. First mark the location of the eyes with pins. Make sure they are

at the same height on both sides.


7

Stitch the arch. Don`t pull it tight, instead leave it loose to give a natural look.

For each eyelash you want to make, stick a pin into the arch (I did 4). Make sure they are exactly in the spots you want your eyelashes to be. Pins will also help you to keep the arch curved and in place.

Now remove pins one by one and stitch eyelashes instead.

34: (Sc in next st, sc2tog) rep 3 times [6]

Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing.

You can leave the tail like this or brush it with a pet brush to achieve a furry fluffy look.

Start brushing at the tip of the tail. You may brush only the white part or continue brushing the

rest of the tail as well. Use short movements and a reasonable amount of force when working. It

will take about 10 strokes for the fluff to start to come up. The more you brush the fluffier it gets.

If you are happy with the result sew the tail to the body skipping about 7 rounds from the starting point at the bottom of the body.

And your fox is ready!
