• Stuffing: Fiberfill or other stuffing material for the amigurumi body.
• Safety Eyes: Use 4 mm safety eyes for the fox’s face.
• Keychain Accessories:
  • A blank keychain ring.
  • Small jump rings (if you’d like the tail to dangle).
• Tools:
  1. A 3 mm crochet hook (smaller than the recommended size to keep the stitches tight).
  2. Yarn needle.
  3. Stitch markers (or a paperclip, scrap yarn, etc.).
  4. Scissors.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Use a smaller hook size than recommended to ensure tight stitches that prevent stuffing from showing.
• Pay close attention to stitch counts during increases and decreases. Shri stresses counting your stitches to ensure accuracy, especially as the piece grows.
• Use stitch markers to mark the last stitch of each round, particularly since this project is worked in continuous rounds.
• Customize Color Placement: You can experiment with different yarn colors for a unique look for the fox.
• Don’t overstuff the amigurumi to maintain a flat base and ensure the figure’s shape remains compact and even.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crochet the Fox’s Head

1. Start with Orange Yarn and Make a Magic Circle:
   • Wrap the yarn around your finger to form a loop. Pull the yarn through the loop to create a circle.
   • Chain 1 (it does not count as a stitch).
   • Work 6 single crochets into the magic circle. Pull the yarn tail to cinch the circle closed.
2. Increase Rounds:
   • Round 2: Add 2 single crochets into each stitch around (total: 12 stitches).
   • Round 3: Crochet one single crochet in the first stitch, then create an increase (2 single crochets in the next) and keep alternating. You will end with 18 stitches.
   • Rounds 4–5: Work one single crochet into each stitch to maintain the stitch count at 18.
3. Color Change for the Snout (to Off-White Yarn):
   • Change colors at the end of Round 5 by pulling the off-white yarn through the final loops of your last stitch.
   • For Round 6: Crochet 8 single crochets, then create a bubble stitch (used for the snout).
     • To make a bubble stitch, yarn over, insert into the same stitch, and pull up a loop. Repeat this process multiple times until you have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops. The bubble creates the raised snout.
   • Finish the round with 9 single crochets.
4. Decrease Rounds:
   • Round 8: Change back to orange yarn and start decreasing stitches. Use invisible decreases in alternating stitches until you reach 12 stitches.

Step 2: Attach Eyes and Stuff the Head

1. Insert the 4 mm safety eyes above the snout with even spacing between Rounds 5 and 6.
2. Add stuffing, ensuring the head is firm and evenly shaped.

Step 3: Crochet the Body

1. Start with Decreasing:
   • Crochet invisible decreases in continuous rounds to form the body’s tapered shape.
   • After decreasing to 6 stitches, begin working in the front loops only to form the fox's lower body and paws.
2. Add Paws Using Black Yarn:
   • In specific stitches, create bubble stitches with black yarn to form the feet. Alternate colors as needed for details.
3. Finish the Body:
   • Stuff the body lightly but leave the bottom flat. Close the final round by weaving the tail through the front loops of the last stitches.

Step 4: Add Details

1. Ears:
   • Attach orange yarn near the head where the ears should go.
   • Chain 3 and create a small triangular ear with single and half-double crochets. Attach both ears symmetrically.
2. Snout and Blush:
   • Using black yarn, embroider a nose onto the bubble stitch.
   • Add blush to the cheeks with pink yarn by embroidering underneath each eye.
3. Tail:
   • Create a smaller cone-shaped crochet tail using the same increase and decrease techniques. Start with off-white yarn for the tip, then switch to orange yarn.
   • Attach the tail using a jump ring or sew it directly onto the body.

Conclusion

This little fox amigurumi is a fun and easy project that can be completed quickly, making it perfect for personal use or as a handmade gift.

Tip

For an extra polished finish, weave in all yarn tails neatly using a yarn needle to prevent them from coming loose. Use vibrant yarn colors to bring more personality to your fox and consider adding unique accessories like scarves or hats for customization.
