2 Materials and Tools Yarn: 1 or more colors. I used Scheepjes STONE WASHED ( 78% cotton and 22% acrylic) in orange and some leftover white yarn. Change of colors are only advices, you can choose your own color patterns. Crochet hook in accordance with the yarn you use. I used hook 2.00 mm. Stuffing: I use polyester wool and a chopstick to stuff the doll. Tapestry needle, scissors. Stitch marker. I used thin black thread. Black embroidery thread for the eyelashes. Abbreviations mr = Magic ring ch = Chain dc = Double crochet st = Stitch slst = Slip stitch sc = Single crochet () = Parentheses are used for repeated patterns of stitches, example: (2 sc, inc) x3 means repeat 3 times (2 single crochet and one increase). inc = 2 sc in the same stitch dec = sc 2 together but working in the front loops only tr= Treble crochet 1

3 This pattern is written in US terminology and worked in spiral unless otherwise stated. Fox s head, body and legs are crocheted as one piece from top to bottom. Other parts are made separately HEAD Use the 2.00 mm hook.

4 Orange yarn: 8 sc, 3 sc in next st, 2 sc, white yarn: 10 sc, orange: 7 sc, white: 10 sc, orange: 2 sc, 3 sc in next st, 23 sc, (fig 6, 7) Note: The changing of colors will commence after the 13th sc of round 18. The obviously, the next stitch will be the new color. Give the tail of the previous yarn a nice tug when changing yarn colors, to prevent loose stitches (fig 8) You will notice the big loops at the back (fig 9). Make sure the loops are loose enough to stretch when you stuff the head. Otherwise, you will have a scrunched fox face Orange yarn: 9 sc, 3 sc in next st, 4 sc, white yarn: 10 sc, orange yarn: 5 sc, white yarn: 10 sc, orange yarn: 4 sc, 3 sc in next stitch, 24 sc 20- Orange yarn: 8 sc, skip 6 stitches (fig 10), 3 sc, white yarn: 10 sc, orange yarn: 3 sc, white yarn: 10 sc, orange yarn: 4 sc, skip 6 stitches, 22 sc, (fig 11)

5 10 11 Note: Feel free to include the loops in your stitches. I did include the white yarn (fig 12). You will have less loose loops at the back in this way.

7 19 20 LEGS First, make the left leg: crochet 18 sc (round 52). Leave 24 stitches, then insert your hook in the very first stitch of the left leg for the next round (round 53) (fig 21).

8 24 25 How to close the end of the round: with a darning needle, insert the remaining yarn through all the front loops of the stitches on the last round (fig 24). Pull all the loops together at once and sew to hide the yarn inside the part you are working on (fig 25). Right leg: Lay the doll facing in front of you. Leave a long tail of yarn to close the gap between legs later. From the right leg s first round, count 3 stitches away on both sides then insert your hook across both stitches (fig 26) and make a slip stitch. On that same stitch crochet the first sc of right leg, then continue the pattern (fig 27, 28) ARMS ROUND PATTERN #st 1-6 sc in magic ring 6 2- (1 inc) x sc around (4 sc, 1 dec) x sc around (3 sc, 1 dec) x2 8 Stuff the arms lightly, and then close it with 3 sc across both sides.

Make the starting chain in the same stitch, then 4 sc, 4 sc in next stitch (fig 31), 4 sc, 4 sc in next stitch, 5 sl st and 4 sc in last stitch (fig 32) How to Invisible Fasten off: Using a needle, insert it in both loops of the second stitch after the last stitch (fig 33). Then, insert it only in the back loop of the last stitch (fig 34). Secure the yarn and use the remaining yarn tail for sewing. Make the little black on the end of ears. SCARF Crochet 75 chains. Make the 3 starting chains and 1 dc in each loop. 8

10 ASSEMBLING: - Sew the arms on either side of the body, just below the head. - Sew the ears on each side, see photos for placement Eyes: with a black thread, embroider the eyes 5 stitches long and 1 stitch in height.
