Pattern steps
01
Medium Pointy Ears
Qty 2
All in Orange, make a magic loop.
Rnd 1: working into the magic loop, sc 1, hdc 1, mp, hdc 1, sc 1 (5)
Ch 1, cut the yarn, and pull through. Pull the magic loop tight.
02
Fox Tail
Starting in White, make a magic loop.
Rnd 1: sc 4 into the magic loop (4)
Rnd 2: [sc 1, inc 1] 2 times (6)
Change to Orange.
Rnd 3: [sc 1, inc 1] 3 times (9)
Rnds 4 - 6: sc in each st (9 for 3 Rnds)
Rnd 7: [sc 1, invdec 1] 3 times (6)
Rnd 8: [sc 1, invdec 1] 2 times (4)
Rnd 9: Pull the end around the front and fold your piece in half so that the stitches align. Work through both layers simultaneously to close. Sc 2 across.
Cut the yarn and pull through without chaining. Place to the side to add to the body in Rnd 8.
03
Body
1:08:29
Starting in Main Color make a magic loop.
Rnd 1: sc 6 in the magic loop (6)
In the following round you can making mbo (Mini Bobble) stitches for the eyes to add a cartoonish googly eyed look. See the video at (14:25) for a detailed example.
mbo = Mini Bobble (3 repeat bobble)
{ } = Worked in the same stitch
[W] = Stitch in white
To add a bobble stitch eye, replace Rnd 2 with:
Rnd 2B: inc 1, {sc 1, [W] mbo 1}, inc 2, {[W]mbo 1, sc 1}, inc 1 (12)
Bobble Stitch Eye Example
Rnd 2: inc in each (12)
Color changes start here. Look out for [brackets] to know when to change colors.
Key: [O] = Orange | [W] = White | [BK] = Black
Rnd 3: sc 3, inc 1, sc 1, [W] sc 1, [O] mbo 1, [W] sc 1, [O] sc 1, inc 1, sc 2 (14)
Rnd 4: sc 4, inc 1, sc 1, [W] sc 4, [O] sc 1, inc 1, sc 2 (16)
Rnd 5: sc 5, inc 1, sc 1, [W] sc 4, [O] sc 1, inc 1, sc 3 (18)
Rnd 6: sc 9, [W] sc 3, [O] sc 6 (18)
Add eyes 2 sts from the nose in Rnd 2 (st 5 and 9).
Embroider on a nose using Black in between the mbo stitch from Rnd 3.
(28:45) Sew on the ears on the outside of both the eyes. I like to make sure the ears are slightly lower using the locations in images A and B below.
In the following round we’ll be making the legs using bo (Bobble) stitches worked into stitches from the rounds above Rnd 6. These will be made in Black (aka [BK]). See video at (34:00) for added details.
Rnd 7: sc 6, working into the inc from Rnd 4 (two Rnds up) [BK] bo 1, (Pic A)
[O] sc 1, working into the st from Rnd 5 (one Rnd up) [BK] bo 1, (Pic B)
[W] sc 3, working into the st from Rnd 5 (one Rnd up) [BK] bo 1, (Pic C)
[O] sc 1, working into the inc from Rnd 4 (two Rnds up) [BK] bo 1, (Pic D)

Rnd 8: sc 1, working into the tail sts and the sts from the body simultaneously to seem them together as you crochet sc2tog into the next 2 sts, [sc 1, invdec 1] 5 times (12)
Adding Tail
Stuff mostly. Add 2 mini magnets into the top of the head to make your Fox stackable. Make sure it’s flipped the correct way as it is difficult to flip it later!
Rnd 9: dec in each (6)
Stuff fully. Add 2 more mini magnets to the bottom (make sure it’s flipped correctly!) and sew closed.
To make your fox into a grey fox, use grey yarn as your main color instead of orange. The feet should be half color changed bobbles with the bottom half orange (See livestream video version for detailed instructions here).
You will also want to use black for the tail, instead of white.
When making the face, Embroider on stripes of Orange under the eyes down to the front legs.
