Apart from the fox border the jumper pattern is really quite a simple knit. The pattern contains instructions for Ages 1-2, 2-3, 4-5 and 6-7 years. You will need 100g, 150g, 250g or 300g of the main shade.

It is knitted in 4-ply, from the bottom up. It is seamed, and has raglan sleeves. The bottom and cuffs have a border of garter stitch, although this could be altered to rib if you prefer that, and the neck is a simple roll collar. You need a small amount of two additional colours for the foxes, and a tiny bit of black for their eyes and noses, which are embroidered on at the end.

I love these little foxes, and think children will love them too. I have a few more ideas for designs incorporating little animals, that I am working on.
