Details About the Fox

When finished, this charming fox amigurumi stands about 9 inches (23 cm) tall, making it the perfect size for cuddling or displaying on a shelf.

I went with a classic red and white combo for the fox itself - red for that traditional foxy look and white for the snuggly muzzle. But here's what really makes him special - those adorable blue dungarees with white zigzag details and that cozy yellow scarf that just adds the perfect pop of color!

Speaking of colors, while I love the traditional red fox look, don't feel stuck with it! You could go for a warm orange, a rich brown, or even get creative with pastels - imagine how cute a pink or lavender fox would be! The dungarees are super versatile too. The navy blue is classic, but imagine them in denim blue, forest green, or even a cheery yellow.

One thing I really love about this pattern is how all the little details come together - from the perky ears to the fluffy tail, and those sweet embroidered features that give him such a friendly face. Made with medium weight yarn, he turns out firm enough to hold his shape but still perfectly squeezable! Trust me, whether you're making this fox for a little one or for yourself, you're going to fall in love with that adorable face!

 

Recommended Yarn and Crochet Hooks

Let me share my favorite yarn picks for this adorable fox amigurumi! I absolutely love using Loopara 5 ply milk cotton yarn for this project - it creates beautifully defined stitches and has the perfect softness for amigurumi. What's extra fantastic about this yarn choice is that if you have any leftovers, it works wonderfully for granny squares and other projects too!

For your fox, you'll need the milk cotton yarn in red (for the main body and head), white (for the muzzle details), blue (for those sweet dungarees), and just a bit of yellow for the scarf and black for paw details. The milk cotton yarn gives such a lovely, smooth finish and really helps show off all those adorable features!

I worked most of the pattern with a 3.0mm hook to keep those stitches nice and tight - this is super important for amigurumi to keep the stuffing from peeking through. When I got to the dungarees and scarf, I switched to a 3.5mm hook to give them a slightly looser, more fabric-like texture.

Here's a little tip: if you find yourself crocheting really tightly, don't hesitate to size up to 3.5mm for the whole project. The most important thing is keeping your tension consistent throughout. This yarn is particularly forgiving and helps maintain shape while still being wonderfully soft to touch!

Crochet Fox Assemble

Main Part Assemble

Step 1

Step 1: Insert wire into the tail, then stuff with fiberfill. Work a final round of decreases on the tail, then fasten off and secure.

Step 2

Step 2: Stuff the head, body, and limbs with fiberfill. For the limbs, keep stuffing light and not too firm.

Step 3

Step 3: Use position beads to position the ears correctly. Begin sewing the first ear, then repeat for the second ear. Once complete, secure with knots and trim excess yarn.

Step 4

Step 4: For hands, work the closure round, pinching flat as you go, then single crochet through both layers. Repeat this closure method for all limbs, paying attention to leg placement.

Step 5

Step 5: Use position beads to position all limbs. Begin attaching arms, secure seams with knots, and trim excess yarn.

Final Assemble

Step 1

Step 1: Locate leg positions and begin sewing.

Step 2

Step 2: Repeat for the second leg until both legs are securely attached.

Step 3

Step 3: Use position beads to secure head position and begin sewing. Keep checking that head remains centered while attaching. Once complete, weave in ends.

Step 4

Step 4: Put on the pants, securing with position beads.

Step 5

Step 5: Begin attaching tail - find the correct position, insert shaping strips through body, then sew in place. Add extra reinforcement stitches for security. Complete tail attachment.

Step 6

Step 6: Sew buttons onto pants, then attach suspenders.

Step 7

Step 7: Insert eyes between rounds 17-18 of head, then embroider white parts of eyes.

Step 8

Step 8: Use position beads to mark eyebrow and mouth positions, then embroider facial features.

Step 9

Step 9: Finally, attach the collar and your fox is complete!

Tips: When attaching the legs, ensure they are symmetrical and evenly positioned on both sides. When joining the head to the body, align carefully along the center line to prevent crooked attachment. When attaching the head, first secure a few stitches on both sides to position it correctly, then complete the remaining stitches. Don't rush to close up the head during sewing - you can pull the thread through the joint gaps and secure it through the reserved openings. Leave extra length when wrapping the wire for better stability and structure.

 

Care and Cleaning Instructions

Daily Care Tips

This charming fox amigurumi deserves some tender loving care! To keep it looking its best, gently brush the surface occasionally with a soft brush to remove dust.

Keep your fox away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, and avoid pulling on the embroidered details to ensure they stay secure. A quick fluff and reshape now and then will help maintain its adorable form.

Washing Methods

While spot cleaning is ideal for small marks, sometimes a full wash might be needed. When that time comes, hand wash your fox gently in cool water using mild detergent.

Never wring or twist - instead, gently squeeze out excess water. Reshape while damp and lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the stitches and stuffing.

Storage Suggestions

Store your foxy friend in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you're storing it long-term, use a breathable fabric bag rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid compressing or squishing the fox, as this can deform its shape.

If you're storing it for a while, you can stuff the inside with tissue paper to help maintain its form. Keep it away from areas where pets might mistake it for a toy, and handle those adorable dungarees with care to keep them looking crisp!

    Main Part Assembly

    1. Insert wire into the tail, then stuff with fiberfill. Work a final round of decreases on the tail, then fasten off and secure.

    2. Stuff the head, body, and limbs with fiberfill. For the limbs, keep stuffing light and not too firm.

    3. Use position beads to position the ears correctly. Begin sewing the first ear, then repeat for the second ear. Once complete, secure with knots and trim excess yarn.

    4. For hands, work the closure round, pinching flat as you go, then single crochet through both layers. Repeat this closure method for all limbs, paying attention to leg placement.

    5. Use position beads to position all limbs. Begin attaching arms, secure seams with knots, and trim excess yarn.

    Final Assembly

    1. Locate leg positions and begin sewing.

    2. Repeat for the second leg until both legs are securely attached.

    3. Use position beads to secure head position and begin sewing. Keep checking that head remains centered while attaching. Once complete, weave in ends.

    4. Put on the pants, securing with position beads.

    5. Begin attaching tail - find the correct position, insert shaping strips through body, then sew in place. Add extra reinforcement stitches for security. Complete tail attachment.

    6. Sew buttons onto pants, then attach suspenders.

    7. Insert eyes between rounds 17-18 of head, then embroider white parts of eyes.

    8. Use position beads to mark eyebrow and mouth positions, then embroider facial features.

    9. Finally, attach the collar and your fox is complete!

    Notes

    Crochet Tips:

    1. Maintain consistent tension throughout your work to ensure all stitches are uniform in size. 
    2. Pull each stitch snug when completing rounds for better shaping and more defined details. 
    3. Try to use the "yarn under" method (X stitch) instead of regular single crochet - it creates smaller holes and results in a tighter amigurumi fabric. 
    4. When changing colors, make the change in the unfinished stitch of the previous round for cleaner, more natural-looking transitions and more polished details.

    Assembly Tips:

    1. When attaching the legs, ensure they are symmetrical and evenly positioned on both sides.
    2. When joining the head to the body, align carefully along the center line to prevent crooked attachment.
    3. When attaching the head, first secure a few stitches on both sides to position it correctly, then complete the remaining stitches.
    4. Don't rush to close up the head during sewing - you can pull the thread through the joint gaps and secure it through the reserved openings.
    5. Leave extra length when wrapping the wire for better stability and structure.
