Our small crochet fox, a cute addition to our Kozu Palm Pets series, boasts a classic rust color. Standing at about 4 inches tall when made with DK yarn and a 2.75mm hook, its miniature stature adds an extra level of adorableness. Optionally, it can be crafted in gray to resemble a wolf instead.
Crochet Friendly Fox Amigurumi Pattern
The pattern is straightforward, suitable for those with basic crochet knowledge. While manageable, novices should be cautious with color changes in the muzzle to maintain the fox’s shape. The project requires minimal sewing, as the legs, body, arms, and head are all crocheted in one piece, making assembly easier.
How can I adjust the size of my crochet fox?
To alter the size, change the yarn type and hook size. For example, using super bulky yarn and a 7mm hook will scale your fox up to 11 inches tall, while DK yarn and a 2.75mm hook keep it around 4 inches.
