Fox Tail: Free Crochet Pattern


Fox Tail




Skill Level:

Supplies:
Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Patons Classic Wool, but you can use your favorite WW)
- Crochet Hook US Size F/5 3.75mm
- Polyester Fiber Fill
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
- Safety Pins

Abbreviations:
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
Sl St = slip stitch
St = stitch
Rnd(s) = round(s)

Gauge: Not crucial for this project, however I always try to crochet tight when I am making a piece that will be stuffed with fiber fill.

Note: you will be working in a continuous round to achieve a seamless look, do NOT join unless specified.

Make a magic ring.
Rnd 1: sc 6 into the magic ring. (6 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st from previous round. (12 sc)
Rnd 3: 2 sc in the next sc, sc in the next - repeat around. (18 sc)
Rnd 4: 2 sc in the next sc , sc in the next 2 - repeat around. (24 sc)
Rnd 5: 2 sc in the next sc , sc in the next 3 - repeat around.  (30 sc)
Rnd 6: 2 sc in the next sc , sc in the next 4 - repeat around. 36 sc)
Rnd 7: 2 sc in the next sc , sc in the next 5 - repeat around. (42 sc)
Rnd 8: 2 sc in the next sc , sc in the next 6 - repeat around. (48 sc)
Rnd 9: sc around (48 sc)
Rnds 10-12 : repeat round 9. (48 sc)
Switch to orange color.
Rnd 13-15: repeat round 9. (48 sc)
Rnd 16: 2 sc together in the next sc (decrease), sc in the next 6 - repeat around. (42 sc)
Rnd 17: sc around (42 sc)
Rnd 18: 2 sc together (decrease) in the next sc , sc in the next 5 - repeat around.  (36 sc)
Rnds 19-23: sc around. (36 sc)
Rnd 24: 2 sc together (decrease) in the next sc , sc in the next 4 - repeat around. (30 sc)
Stuff your piece lightly with polyester fiber fill.
Rnds 25-45: sc around.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail of yarn. Sew the top shut with the yarn needle and weave in the ends.
Attach the tail using safety pins.


Now go on a nature walk and explore the "wilderness" with your very own little fox!
Cheers.
