Head and Tails Fox
Have a fantastic frolic with this circular Fox ear hat and tail pattern. The pattern is worked from the bottom up and includes a choice of four sizes to fit both young and old alike. Instructions are included for knitting the fox ear hat with or without a mask. The tail comes in two sizes and is designed to be attached to the belt loop on a pair of jeans or trousers. So foxy they can be worn every day or as part of a costume.
Gauge: 6 stitches per inch or 24 x 36 = 4 inches of stockinette.
Materials:
Hat & Tail:
4mm / 6 US Double Pointed needles and circular needles (or the size that gets you closest to the gauge)
DK Yarn – Less than 125g in russet and less than 25g white/cream and 10g black.
Stitch Marker
Darning needle
Button – approx. 1 in across
Stuffing (optional)
Sizes: 1-2yr (3-6yr, youth/small adult, adult)
Sizes are tough. Heads come in all different shapes and sizes and yarn of the same weight can have varying amounts of stretch. I have based my sizing on the heads in my family and friends. I’m no longer shy about whipping out my knitting and asking a random friend to try something on!
If using my gauge the size ranges should fit the following head circumferences
1-2yr – 17/18 inches (3-6yr – 19/20 inches, youth/small adult – 21/22 inches, adult – 23/24 inches)
