Christmas Fox Dolly for Beginners Crochet Pattern
The finished fox is approximately 8.5 cm in height—just the right size for a keychain or a lovely Christmas tree pendant. If you’re making it as a keychain, you’ll need to sew a green scarf around the neck for a cute finishing touch. The pattern calls for a 2.2mm crochet hook and traditional amigurumi yarn to achieve the perfect size.
Designer: athenatutoriais
This easy-to-make pattern is ideal for beginners and can be adapted into a toy, rattle (without the scarf), or a festive ornament.
