Finley the Fox Mini Plushie Crochet Pattern

Meet Finley the Fox Mini Plushie Pattern from Homebound & Hooked. Finley so eager to be your next project! This pattern includes one 9-page PDF of detailed instructions and pictures to assist you in making an adorable fox. In this, you will find instructions on how to work up the head, body, ears, tail and legs. When worked with plush, blanket yarn, you can make an adorable mini plushie. When worked with worsted or dk yarn, this pattern makes an adorable Christmas tree ornament or keychain! This pattern includes two body options – option 1 includes a separate chest piece that you can sew on to the body later. Option 2 incorporates the belly colorway right into the body. Look at both options before starting to determine which you prefer to work with. There are also a couple of tips depending on what fox breed you wish to make. Try a red fox, arctic fox, silver fox, or get creative with any colors you would like!
