Are you feeling foxy today? If not, then you are sure to feel this way after reading through this post of free crochet fox patterns. That’s right. Today’s roundup is all about everyone’s favorite woodland animal – the fox.
We all know what a fox looks like – the pointy ears, the orange coloring, etc. But when it comes to translating an animal into crochet form, each designer brings their unique perspective to the table. It’s just another thing to love about the wonderful crochet art form! Today we’ll be exploring all different kinds of free crochet fox patterns for stuffed animals and more.
What could be better than free crochet fox patterns for stuffed animals? In addition to amigurumi fox patterns, we’ve also got a healthy mix of free crochet patterns for fox hats, fox blankets, fox gloves, fox baby rattles, and more. As it turns out, the iconic fox features translate well into fiber form (break out that orange yarn, black yarn, white yarn, and your crochet hook!), so these crochet fox designs are instantly recognizable and ridiculously adorable.
The best part is that the majority of the free crochet fox patterns on this list can be made by crocheters of all skill levels. Since most of the patterns only require the use of the basic crochet stitches (like single crochet, half double crochet, or double crochet) they are quite beginner-friendly! Easy designs like these are also a fan favorite of more experienced crocheters who like to cozy up on the couch with their crochet and a good movie.
So what are you waiting for? Scroll down and prepare to see all this free crochet pattern goodness for yourself!
