 Yarn: 1 or more colors. I used Scheepjes “STONE WASHED”( 78% cotton and 22% acrylic) in orange and some leftover white yarn. Change of colors are only advices, you can choose your own color patterns.  Crochet hook in accordance with the yarn you use. I used hook 2.00 mm.  Stuffing: I use polyester wool and a chopstick to stuff the doll.  Tapestry needle, scissors.  Stitch marker. I used thin black thread.  Black embroidery thread for the eyelashes.

How to change the color of yarn: With the two loops from the previous yarn on the hook (fig 4), wrap around the new yarn around the hook, pull the new yarn through the two loops of the stitch (fig 5).

● Note: The changing of colors will commence after the 13th sc of round 18. The obviously, the next stitch will be the new color. Give the tail of the previous yarn a nice tug when changing yarn colors, to prevent loose stitches (fig 8) You will notice the big loops at the back (fig 9). Make sure the loops are loose enough to stretch when you stuff the head. Otherwise, you will have a scrunched fox face.

● Note: Feel free to include the loops in your stitches. I did include the white yarn (fig 12). You will have less loose loops at the back in this way. Don’t worry if you notice that the stitches get thick because of this, it will be unnoticeable once you stuff the head firmly.

How to close the end of the round: with a darning needle, insert the remaining yarn through all the front loops of the stitches on the last round (fig 24). Pull all the loops together at once and sew to hide the yarn inside the part you are working on (fig 25). Right leg: Lay the doll facing in front of you. Leave a long tail of yarn to close the gap between legs later. From the right leg’s first round, count 3 stitches away on both sides then insert your hook across both stitches (fig 26) and make a slip stitch. On that same stitch crochet the first sc of right leg, then continue the pattern (fig 27, 28).

How to Invisible Fasten off: Using a needle, insert it in both loops of the second stitch after the last stitch (fig 33). Then, insert it only in the back loop of the last stitch (fig 34). Secure the yarn and use the remaining yarn tail for sewing. Make the little black on the end of ears.

SCARF Crochet 75 chains. Make the 3 starting chains and 1 dc in each loop.
