Woodland Crochet Fox Amigurumi Doll
This little Woodland Crochet Fox now sits on my desk because I can't help but smile when I look at it. It's cheeky and adorable. I know my kids will take the crochet fox soon, but until then, I'm going to enjoy it, and how could I not? After crocheting the Amigurumi Crochet Deer Free Pattern, I knew I wanted more of these little cuties.

Do you love crochet amigurumi?
I love exploring all the different types of crochet projects, and ami is a fun one. My boys have loved the little crochet dolls I've worked up and often take them from my office. I don't mind, I love that they think they are cute enough to take.
Last year they wanted an Axolotl for Christmas, and I appeased them with this cute Cute Axolotl Crochet Ami Doll Free Pattern. It's great for kids who are into Minecraft and follow the trend of wanting a real Axolotl, no thank you.
After creating something for them, I wanted something for myself. I love holiday decor, so I created the Amigurumi Crochet Deer Free Pattern. These can be displayed all year and go well with the ami crochet fox.

Oyster Heather or Camel Heather Yarn - Color A
Persimmon/Orange Yarn - Color B

Since this is worked continuously, a ch 1 at the beginning of the round is not needed. It is helpful to
place a stitch marker on the first stitch of each round.
When doing colorwork the yarn will be carried along the back in the fair isle style. Try not to carry a
color for more than 3 sts so your floats aren’t too long. You can catch/trap the yarn behind a stitch to
keep the floats consistent. To read more about colorwork please visit: Tips for Successful Colorwork in Crochet

Special Crochet Stitches:
Cross stitch single crochet: this variation of a crochet stitch works the stitch tighter and creates an ‘X’
on the front of the stitch. To work a single crochet stitch this way, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn
under, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through both loops on the hook. This way of working the single
crochet stitch is used for the hat and the body.
Magic Circle: Start by creating a loop with your yarn. The tail of the working yarn will be over the working
end. Insert your hook into the loop from behind. Yarn over and pull through the loop. Ch 1, Work
all of your indicated stitches into the loop. Pull the tail end of your yarn to close the loop. Pull firmly to
fasten the loop closed, this end will be weaved in and fastened off.
sc2tog invisible decrease: Insert your hook into the flo of the next stitch, insert your hook into the flo of
the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and complete stitch.
