Notes

Made for my 4 and a half month old son.

Second time knitting a toy and first time trying intarsia knitting. Made some mistakes along the way, but overall I am happy I tried the pattern as it was very easy to read and not overly complicated.

In hindsight I wish I would have used a smaller needle than called for to keep my stitches even tighter. (I am already a very tight knitter, so I assumed I wouldn’t need to make that adjustment, but I will if I ever knit one of these toy patterns again).

I need more practice stuffing and the ears gave me a bit of trouble (I knit them following method 1), but again, overall I am pleased with how the little fox turned out. Will eventually get around to knitting the clothes, but I just wanted to get the fox done for now.
