★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE (if you use thick yarn) and ADVANCED (if you use thin yarn)

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Floss (Gamma, DMC, Madeira, Anchor or others). The colors are orange, brown, beige, green, light green, white, also a little pink (embroider the fox cheeks). Also we need Kid Mohair, for example: Alize, YarnArt, Gazzal… (mohair/polyamide, 50g ~ 500m), white color. NOTE: this pattern can also be used for crocheting toys from thicker yarn, so if it is difficult for you to crochet using thin yarn, try to crochet using thicker yarn first. For a micro fox and a micro hat, we take floss in 2 threads. Use hook №0.7 (0.7mm; it is extremely difficult to crochet from thin yarn, try different hook numbers, perhaps it will be more convenient for you to crochet using thinner or thicker hook: №0.6-0.9). For a container case, we take floss in 3 threads (beige, light green, green parts), and for the upper part (for the bunny) we take one mohair thread + one floss thread. Use hook №1 (1mm).

  • Fiberfill (to stuff)

  • Glue eyes (2mm)

  • Thin wire (0.4mm): for the arms 2pcs and for the legs 2pcs, each ~ 2.5cm long

  • Thin chain ~14cm long, 1 ring Ø5mm (the ring must be thin, to fit into a link in your chain)

  • Orange beads 2pcs, green beads 2pcs, round white pearl beads 2pcs (Swarovski pearls for example), crimson crystal beads 2pcs (Swarovski crystals for example)

  • A plastic container from a surprise egg (you can also buy similar containers on aliexpress); you can take another container, use the pattern of knitting a case as an example and, if necessary, change it a little for your container

  • Ring with chain (keychain mount) + ring Ø6mm

  • Some pink felting wool and a star felting needle №38 (felt cheeks on a bunny)

  • A piece of Velcro to brush white mohair parts

  • Needle, orange sewing thread for attaching movable limbs, safety pins, scissors, glue (Moment Crystal), hot glue, thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must have basic crochet skills (with crocheting micro toys) - this pattern is not so easy so please ask me if you will have some questions/difficulties.
