What a Fox!




My newest project is (drumroll please) a fox. Probably not the most popular animal for knitters, coming in leagues behind a bear or a bunny, but foxes need love, too. I figured the trickiest part would be the head, given the semi-canine snout and lean head shape. All my other animals have pudgy, round heads, so I knew this would be a new kind of shaping. After a head that looked like a penguin, and a "good, but not great" head, I finally whipped up this bad boy, which I'm pretty satisfied with. My favorite part is the wispy looking white stitches under his neck...it almost looks like you could pet it. Next up is replicating the wispy fluff for his ears.
