CROCHET PATTERN

HELLO!
My name is Christina. I`m a happy mother and a
wife. I've been crocheting toys for 2 years. At first, it
all started as a small hobby just to pass the time. Now
knitting is an important part of my life, without which
it would not be full. I am also interested in
photography. After all, everyone knows that a
beautiful presentation is really important.
Thank you for purchasing my pattern! I hope
that you will enjoy the result of my work, as well as
the process of creating the fox. I will be glad if you
mention me as the author on published photos of your
finished toy!
In this pattern I use the US terminology.

 Crocheting peculiarities:
It is important to understand that we all crochet differently.
Yarn consumption and the size of the finished toy depend on
many factors.
Here are the main ones:
- The size of the hook - the whole toy is made of semi-cotton yarn,
for it I take the hook number 2 (B).
- The crochet tightness is how we stretch the thread. I crochet
tightly enough so that the fabric is without holes and the filler can
not be seen through it.
-The method of crocheting is crosses or ticks. I knit with crosses,
if you knit with ticks, the toy will be larger.
For the fox I used the yarn 50 gr / 165 mt (174 yds).
I used one skein of the main yarn.
The finished toy is 19 cm tall (7,5 inch) without ears.
 Materials and tools:
1. Semi-cotton yarn: 50 gr / 165 mt (174 yds) - Yarn Weight 2:
YarnArt Jeans # 43 (orange) - one skein;
Alize Cotton Gold # 62 (light-cream) - a half of skein;
Alize Cotton Gold # 493 (brown) - 1/3 of skein;
YarnArt Jeans # 81 (blue) - 1/3 of skein;
YarnArt Jeans # 26 (red) - 1/3 of skein;
YarnArt Jeans # 01 (white) - small amount;

YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, Alize Cotton Gold Hobby,

Gazzal Jeans yarns have almost the same footage and weight,
so they can be replaced with each other.

6. An appropriate hook (I use 2 mm - US size B);
7. Aluminium wire ~ 17 cm length for arms (width over 0,5 mm);
