Embrace the charm of the forest with this amigurumi fox crochet pattern! With its fluffy tail, perky ears, and mischievous expression, this design captures the playful spirit of foxes in yarn form.

Rnd 16: 6 dec (6)

Fasten off leaving a long end and close the hole by threading it throught the FLO of the remaining sts. Do not cut off yet.

Forming the Tail

Use the remaining yarn end from the body.

• Bring the yarn end through the body and out at the back of the tail, centered between R9-10.
• Insert the needle back between R4-5 and bring it out between R2-3.

• Insert the needle back between R9-10. Pull tightly so the tip of the tail bends. You can also use the yarn tail to reinforce R13, where the FLO of the tail were attached to the body. Secure the end inside the body.

Sewing the Snout

Use the orange end to sew the orange sts. Use the white end to sew the white sts.

• Sew between the eyes and between R9-13.
• Sew orange part with orange yarn end between R12-13.
• Sew white part with white yarn end between R9-10.
• Secure the ends and hide them inside the body.
• Embroider the snout with black yarn between R2-3. Go a few times over 2-3 sts until you cover up the white upper part of the snout. Secure the ends and hide them inside the body.

Ears x2

With black yarn, use a 4 mm hook:

Starting from the eye, count 4 sts to the left/right and 4 rounds up. Mark those 2 points with pins.

Viven’s right ear: fox is facing you.
Viven’s left ear: fox is facing away.

Rnd 1: insert your hook in the upper marked st, pull up a loop and ch 2 (this will be your 1 st st). Continue surface crocheting 3 sc until you reach the lower pin (4)
Rnd 2: turn, 2 dec (2)
Rnd 3: turn, dec (1)

Fasten off, weave the yarn end through the outside of the ear until you reach the head. Secure both ends and hide them inside the body.

Repeat for the second ear.

Hair

With orange yarn, use a 4 mm hook:

• Pull up a loop between the ears and ch 1. Pull the chain up to create a larger loop – this will be the first hair strand. Remove your hook from the loop.
• Insert the hook into the head again, pull up another loop, and ch 1. Hold the first loop in place to keep it from changing size.

• Pull the 2nd ch loop to match the size of the 1st hair strand. Repeat until you have 4 or more hair strands.
• To finish, insert the hook into the head one more time, ch 1, and fasten off.

Embroidery

With black cotton yarn.

Embroider two lines above both eyes, starting at the top of the eye.

1st line: 2 rounds down, 2 sts to the side
2nd line: 1 round down, 1 st to the side
Embroider the mouth between R3-4 of the snout.
