Frances

Introducing an adorable knitting pattern for Frances and her baby fox! This delightful project allows you to knit all parts separately in the round, including the head, body, legs, arms, ears, and tail, which are then sewn together for a charming finish. The apron is uniquely crafted flat, featuring a stylish I-cord edge and a string for added detail. Additionally, the snack foods – a mouse and a hen – are both knit in a single piece, making them quick and fun to create. To ensure ease of assembly, be sure to leave a longer tail when casting on, as it will be used for sewing the pieces together.

With a finished toy size, Frances measures approximately 9” (23 cm) when sitting and about 14” (36 cm) from head to tail. Little Baby Fox is also a delightful companion, measuring around 9” (23 cm) from head to tail. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern offers a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

You have the flexibility to use either worsted weight yarn or fingering weight yarn held double. If you choose to go with fingering weight yarn, remember to double the yardage needed for your project. For Frances, you'll need approximately 110 / 120 yards / 101 / 110 meters (main color), along with 40 / 50 yards / 37 / 46 meters for colors C1 and C2, and an additional 50 yards / 46 meters for colors C4 and C5 designated for the apron. For the adorable Baby Fox, gather around 60 yards / 55 meters (main color) and 25 yards / 23 meters (C1 and C2). When crafting the snack food, you'll need a mere 10 yards / 9 meters (C4 for the mice) and 15 yards / 14 meters (C1 for the hen).

This knitting pattern is perfect for gift-giving or for those special occasions when you want to create something truly unique. With easy-to-follow instructions and the opportunity to customize colors and designs, knitting Frances and her baby fox will undoubtedly become a cherished project.
