TWO PATTERNS: flat and round methods

Easy, very detailed and step-by-step knitting pattern allows you to create your own funny fox.

Archie is a very funny little fox. He lives in the forest with his large family. During the day, he is having fun with his friends, chasing birds and rabbits, sometimes creating troubles for Farmer Jim and his chicken coop.
In the evenings, Archie loves to listen to his grandfather’s stories about his work in the big circus.
