Red fox

Introducing our delightful knitting pattern for the red fox, the largest of the true foxes and a beloved member of the Caniformia family! Known for their beauty and charm, red foxes are widely distributed around the world. Although often portrayed as sly and cunning in stories and legends, these fascinating creatures are actually loyal and communal animals. This knitting pattern invites you to craft your very own dashing fox, transforming the traditional image into that of a gallant hero. And while you're at it, don't forget to knit the stunning tree trunk for your fine fox to pose on in style!

The fox and the wood log in this pattern are skillfully crafted using 2.25 mm double-pointed needles (UK size 13, US size 1). For the fox, we recommend using Scheepjes Merino Soft (601) Pollock for the striking smoky black areas, combined with Rowan Felted Tweed (154) ginger for that vibrant warmth, and a half strand (or 1 ply) of Rowan Chenille (762) winter white to add a touch of softness. The wood log is beautifully rendered in Rowan Felted Tweed (153) phantom, (160) gilt, and (175) cinnamon, ensuring a rustic and authentic appearance that really brings your piece to life!

This charming fox measures approximately 19 cm from nose to tail, while the log stands at a cute height of 3 cm. Both projects are designed to be easy, fast, and fun to knit. You’ll engage in a mix of techniques, including knitting in the round and flat, enjoying the creative process of intarsia color work, and incorporating basic crocheting, all clearly explained in the accompanying text.

Unleash your creativity and experience the joy of knitting with this delightful pattern. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this project is sure to captivate your artistic spirit! Go fur it and add a unique piece to your knitting collection!

Happy knitting!
