Meet our Sleepy Fox. She’s all curled up having a nap with her nose resting on her tail and her eyes closed. This pattern supplies directions for making our Sleepy Fox.

This Sleepy Fox is suitable for intermediate knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches and standard knitting terms as well as understanding the concept for short rows. Our Sleepy Fox is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 25 m of medium weight rust yarn, 3 m of medium weight white yarn yarn and 3 m of medium weight black yarn. With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of black yarn for the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your fox together. This will let you create a sleepy fox that’s approximately 12 cm (5 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
