A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet fox pattern: a Fox in Santa's Sack amigurumi, about 13 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A sleepy orange fox peeks out of a brown sack tied with a red bow, one paw holding a candy cane and its tail sticking out of the back. You need about 90 m of yarn: 30 m orange, 25 m tan, 10 m red, 10 m white, 5 m dark brown, 5 m dark tan and 5 m light pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. Put it under the tree as a surprise gift topper or give it to fox lovers. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Fox in Santa's Sack

Advanced · 13 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 14 pieces in rounds: Sack, Red ribbon, Fox head, Ear ×2, Snout, Cheek ×2, Tail, Bow loop ×2, Paw, Candy cane, Bow knot (102 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 12 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

What you'll need

Tick things off as you gather them.

0 of 12 gathered

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 7.6 cm at the widest, 6.8 cm long; 22 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.1 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 3 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 22 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R21).
  4. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3 cm at the widest, 3.3 cm long; 10 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 3.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 30 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 50 %) -->

  1. Size before assembly: an oval about 2.2 × 1.8 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 4 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With white: ch 3.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.3 cm at the widest, 2.8 cm long; 11 rounds.
  2. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
  3. → Start stuffing (moderately) and keep adding as you decrease.
  4. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. A flat oval about 2.3 × 1.5 cm; 2 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With red: ch 4.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 9 rounds.
  2. Change to orange (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 0.8 cm at the widest, 5.7 cm long; 15 rounds.
  2. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
  3. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  4. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R6).
  5. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
  6. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
  7. Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
  8. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  9. Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R14).
  10. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside. Bend ≈ 160° around round 10<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 10, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right <!-- st 1.22 right -->). On the inner side draw rounds 8 and 11 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

    1. Sack is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Red ribbon → sack. Put the red ribbon around the sack: the chain ring (48 st) lies along round 18 of the sack, the rounds spreading up; sew the ring to the sack all round and let the rest lie free on it.
    1. Fox head onto the sack. Stuff the sack firmly. Hold the fox head's closing point (last round) at the centre of the sack's opening (R22) and sew the edge of the opening all round to the fox head: the seam runs along rounds 14–15 of the fox head (all the way round). Top up the neck with stuffing before closing the seam so the head does not wobble. Press it into the base by about 1.6 cm.
    1. Ear → fox head (make 2). Centre: between rounds 4 and 5, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (18 st); the seam covers rounds 2–8 of the fox head, about 7 st wide. Keep the spoon hollow side forward; the opening lies in a curve following the fox head, both layers sewn down. It points up and slightly outward.
    1. Snout → fox head. Centre: between rounds 14 and 15, on the centre front line. Sew around the opening (15 st); the seam covers rounds 12–17 of the fox head, about 6 st wide. It points forward.
    1. Cheek → fox head (make 2). Centre: in round 14, 6 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 12–16 of the fox head, about 4 st wide.
    1. Tail → sack. Centre: in round 8, 4 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left. Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 8–15 of the sack, about 8 st wide. It points outward and backward and up. Press it into the base by about 6 mm.
    1. Bow loop (no. 1) → sack. Centre: between rounds 17 and 18, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 15–20 of the sack, about 4 st wide. Put a little stuffing under it (≈ 4 mm thick).
    1. Paw → sack. Centre: in round 14, 11 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Sew around the opening (12 st); the seam covers rounds 13–15 of the sack, about 4 st wide. It points up and slightly outward.
    1. Candy cane → paw. Centre: at the centre of the magic ring. Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches rounds 1–2 of the paw (all the way round). It points up. Press it into the base by about 3 mm.
    1. Bow loop (no. 2) → sack. Centre: between rounds 17 and 18, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right . Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 15–20 of the sack, about 4 st wide. Put a little stuffing under it (≈ 4 mm thick).
    1. Bow knot → sack. Centre: between rounds 17 and 18, on the centre front line. Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 16–19 of the sack, about 3 st wide. Put a little stuffing under it (≈ 4 mm thick).

    The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

    • Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the fox head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 12, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Satin stitch (on the snout): in black thread, a oval about 6 mm wide and 5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre top line .
    • Embroidery in brown thread (on the snout), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, on the centre bottom line ).
    • Embroidery in brown thread (on the snout) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
