Assembly
Attach eyes to head. Add some plastic pellets to bottom of body section to add weight, then stuff body, head, arms, legs, and tail. Sew head to body. Sew limbs, ears, and tail to body. When sewing the tail, I attached it at the base and also added a few stitches higher up so it will stand up more. Sew on muzzle and tummy patch.
Please do not repost or distribute this pattern. Thank you.

Hi there, this might sound a bit strange.. But I’m only a teenager and have absolutely NO idea how to knit or crochet at all! I just saw this fox and thought it was adorable, and I was wondering if it’d be possible for you to perhaps make one and mail it to me for a Christmas present for someone who has a fixation on foxes? If possible could you please email me at lucywilliams.is@hotmail.co.uk just to let me know if you’d be okay with that (with the postal charges and of course a fee for going to the trouble of making it for me), thanks a lot :)

This is a very cute pattern. I have a question though… what is a Magic ring? I have been crocheting for a few years now and do not know what that is.
Thanks

Magic ring is a technique to make the first round of your amigurumi look neater (it doesn’t leave a hole). PlanetJune has a tutorial here: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/tutorials/magic-ring-right-handed/
