Free Crochet Fox Pattern: What Does the Fox Say? Amigurumi!

This darling crochet fox was a birthday present for my friend’s one-year-old. His nursery is woodland-themed and I thought this cute little fox would be the perfect addition. This free crochet fox pattern is a Beginner+ level pattern and uses entirely single crochet in the round with increases and decreases to create shaping.

Supplies:

• Size G Crochet Hook
• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn — Carrot
• Red Heart Super Saver Yarn — Soft White
• Large Safety Eyes (Note: if making for a baby or toddler, stitch eyes on with black yarn instead to avoid a choking hazard)
• Scrap of Black yarn
• Fiberfill
