The Fox knitting pattern is available in the Woodland Friends eBook of six toy animal knitting patterns, which also includes a Bunny, Hedgehog, Mouse, Owlet and Squirrel. These toys also have some accessories to keep them warm on their travels: a waistcoat, scarf and a satchel bag.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted mostly on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the mouse’s tail is i-cord worked on two DPNs. A fancy faux fur yarn is used to knit the fluffy pieces for the owl, hedgehog and squirrel.

NEEDLES
A pair each of 3mm and 8mm single pointed knitting needles and 3mm DPNs (US 2.5 & 11).

RECOMMENDED YARN
Sirdar Alpine Faux Fur (100% polyester, super chunky weight) and Sirdar Country Style Wool Blend DK (40% Nylon/30% Wool/30% Acrylic, DK weight); using less than a 50g skein in each shade.

NOTIONS
Tapestry needle, toy filling, domed buttons for eyes, and buttons for the satchel bags.
