XL size Tanoshi Fox Doll with removable tail. The tail can be fixed in three positions.

The finished doll is approximately 7,9 inches (20 cm) tall without tail. When tail is down - 17,3 inches ( 44 cm ).

Materials needed
• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles US 6 (4 mm)
• Cream colored yarn for head. I used Nako Sport Wool ( 25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100gr = 120m ).
• Red yarn for dress. I used Nako Sport Wool ( 25% Wool, 75% Acrylic; 100gr = 120m ).
• Black yarn for the hair
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch holder
• 2 black buttons for eyes
• 3 buttons for fixing the tail

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams .
