Amigurumi Sly Fox Free Pattern
The toy is knitted from the bottom up, with semi-crosses, in a spiral, (unless otherwise indicated).
The upper legs and tail are knitted, the head, muzzle and ears are sewn on.
When using these materials, the height of the finished toy is about 20 cm.
Mark the beginning of each row with a contrast thread (thinner than the one from which you knit a toy).
The description does not contain tutorials and is intended for those who already have basic crochet skills.
Required materials and tools:
1. Hook suitable for your yarn.
2. YarnArt JEANS No. 85 (or any color of your choice from the orange-red palette) for the body.
3. YarnArt JEANS No. 03 for muzzle and tail tip.
4. Some black or dark brown brow thread. Take it thinner than the main one from which you will knit a toy. I used “Openwork” from “Pekhorka” No. 02 (black 280 m / 50 gr.) Do not take the entire thickness of YarnArt JEANS for embroidery, it will look rough on the muzzle. You can split it. But for embroidering proteins, use the full thickness of YarnArt JEANS No. 62 or 01.
5. Filler.
6. Eyes on a secure fastening 10 mm, or sewn on, glued (beads, half beads – your choice).
7. Spout on a secure mount 12*10 mm (optional, can be embroidered).
8. Needle for sewing details, scissors, pins, knitting marker.

2 row: 6 İNC = 12
3 row: (1SC, İNC) * 6 = 18
4 row: (2 SC, İNC) * 6 = 24

17 row: (9 SC, İNC) * 6 = 66
18 row: 20 SC, 2 İNC, 31 SC, 2 İNC, 11SC = 70
To be later
it is more convenient to navigate when installing the peephole, put in the 18th row, between two increments, additional markers on both sides.
19 row: 21 SC, 2 İNC, 33 SC, 2 İNC, 12 SC = 74
Change color to beige.
20-21 rows: 74 SC
At this stage, we install the eyes (diameter 10 mm) between the 18th and 19th rows.
Between ocelli 11 SC. The distance from the side additional markers to the installation site along the 18th row of 12 SC (increases are counted as 2 loops)
Now additional markers can be removed.
22 row: 19 SC, 4 DEC, 29
SC, 4 DEC, 10 SC = 66
23 row: (9 SC, DEC) * 6 = 60
24 row: (8 SC, DEC) * 6 = 54

27 row: (5 SC, DEC) * 6 = 36
28 row: (4 SC, DEC) * 6 = 30
29 row: (3 SC, DEC) * 6 = 24
Knit an additional 3-4 SC to finish the knitting at the back in the middle of the head. Fasten the thread, leave about 60 cm for embroidering decorative stitches on the forehead. Stuff your head tightly.
Ears
1 row: 6 SC = 6
2 row: (1 SC, İNC) * 3 = 9
3 row: (2 SC, İNC) * 3 = 12
4 row: (3 SC, İNC) * 3 = 15
5 row: (4 SC, İNC) * 3 = 18
6 row: (2 SC, İNC) * 6 = 24
7 row: (3 SC, İNC) * 6 = 30
8-9 rows: 30 SC
10 row: (3 SC, DEC) * 6 = 24
11 row: 24 SC
12 row: (6 SC, DEC) * 3 = 21
Knit an additional 1 SC, fold in half and knit 10 SC together, grabbing both sides of the eyelet. Leave the thread for sewing.
muzzle
To make the muzzle look even, we knit it with lifting loops 1 row: 6 SC = 6
2 row: (1 SC, İNC) * 3 = 9
3 row: (2 SC, İNC) * 3 = 12
4 row: (3 SC, İNC) * 3 = 15
5 row: (4 SC, İNC) * 3 = 18
6 row: 18 SC.
We fix the thread, leave about 50 cm for sewing.
We put the spout between 1 and 2 rows or embroider (I have a spout on a safe mount 12 * 10 mm).
Head decoration
Mark the places and sew the ears along the line of the rows, opposite the side increases. Adjust the height to your liking.
I sewed the bottom of the ears between rows 13 and 14.
Now attach the muzzle, pin it with pins, sew, slightly stuffing in the process. Using the beige thread left after the head is completed, embroider decorative stitches on the forehead. Embroider the whites of the eyes with white thread. If desired, embroider the eyebrows with black.
The photo shows how the expression of the muzzle changes because of the eyebrows.
Lower legs
1 row: 6 SC in MR
2 row: 6 İNC = 12
3 row: (1 SC, İNC) * 6 = 18
4-5 rows: 18 SC
6 row: 3 SC, 6 DEC, 3 SC = 12
7-8 rows: 12 SC
9 row: (1 SC, İNC) * 6 = 18
10-11 rows: 18 SC
12 row: (2 SC, İNC)*6 = 24
13 row: 24 SC
On the first leg, temporarily fix the thread and cut it, leaving the tip about 30 cm. We do not cut it on the second. We put the paws side by side and determine the degree of “clubfoot” of the future toy. We knit several additional columns on the second foot to the junction (to the inside). I have it 6 SC.
Now we return to the first foot and we knit the same number of additional columns.
We do this so that the legs are the same height. Now we can fasten the thread and cut it short. We remove the marker threads. On the first paw, we count back the number of additional columns you added, increased by 2 times. In my case, it is 12. We connect the first foot with the second 3 air loops in this place.
Body
We stuff the body tightly, in the process of knitting.
1 row: 24 SC on the first leg, 3 SC on the chain of CH, 24 SC on the second leg, 3 SC on the chain of CH. Total number of loops in a row = 54
We put a marker
2 row: (8 SC, İNC) * 6 = 60
3-4 rows: 60 SC
5 row: (9 SC, İNC) * 6 = 66
6-8 rows: 66 SC Next, knit the tail
9 row: 62 SC, 4 SC with ponytail = 66
Please note that your knitting offset may vary. In this case, center the ponytail at the back, adding or leaving SC.
10-13 rows: 66 SC
14 row: (9 SC, DEC) * 6 = 60
15 row: 60 SC
16 row: (8 SC, DEC) * 6 = 54
17 row: 54 SC
18 row: (7 SC, DEC) * 6 = 48
19 row: 48 SC
20 row: (6 SC, DEC) * 6 = 42
21 row: 42 SC
22 row: (5 SC, DEC) * 6 = 36
23-24 rows: 36 SC
25 row: (4 SC, DEC) * 6 = 30
26-27 rows: 30 SC
In the 28th row we will knit the upper paws.
Stuff the main part of the calf quite tightly, but not completely. Leave about 1 cm so that when knitting the legs you are comfortable and the filler does not fall between the posts. Determine the knitting points strictly on the sides: 5 SC along with the paws, 10 SC between them.
Given my bias, I got So:
28 row: 8 SC, 5SC with foot, 10 SC, 5 SC with foot, 2 SC = 30
29 row: 30 SC
30 row: (3 SC, DEC) * 6 = 24
knit more a few columns and fasten the thread at the back in the center of the back.
Leave about 50 cm for sewing on the head. Remove the marker thread.
Stuff the part tightly to the end. When sewing on the head, do not forget to knock the filler into the neck.
Your fox is ready!
I knitted the scarf in turning rows of 4 SC, up to a length of 50 cm.
