Here is the video:
As for the fox, I worked with YarnArt Jeans: orange no 77 (main yarn, for body and paws)
The second yarn is white Alize Softy for tummy. I used crochet hook 2.5 mm.
Ears are made with Yarn Art Jeans - main orange yarn and inner part dark brown no 70 (the same yarn as for Boris' body)
Eyes are made with YarnArt Jeans yellow and black and crochet hook 2 mm.
The second yarn is white Alize Softy for tummy. I used crochet hook 2.5 mm.
Ears are made with Yarn Art Jeans - main orange yarn and inner part dark brown no 70 (the same yarn as for Boris' body)
Eyes are made with YarnArt Jeans yellow and black and crochet hook 2 mm.
In my pattern, in even-numbered rounds, I divided scs to obtain almost perfect round (not hexagonal shape): e.g. instead of (2 sc, inc) I crochet: (1 sc, inc, 1 sc).
HEAD & BODY
Pattern is similar to my other Cuties but I work with two yarns - orange and white, so I have to change yarn color in the rounds.Start with white Alize Softy and in rnd 3 change color to orange YarnArt Jeans.
Read the tip: How to change yarn color in a middle of a round/row
Rnd 1: white, 6 sc in MR [6]
Rnd 2: 6 inc [12]
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 3, 1 sc, change to orange: inc, (1 sc, inc) x 2, 1 sc, inc (change to white in the second sc of increase) [18]
In next rounds I will change to white at the beginning of new round, so don't finish the last orange sc in the round, grab white yarn and pull through two orange loops on the hook and work 1 sc (it will be the first white st of new round). Then I change to orange again, so don't finish the last white sc in the round, grab orange yarn and pull through two white loops on the hook and work 1 orange sc.
I cut the yarns while changing colors and secure them inside the body on the wrong side.
Rnd 4: white (1 sc, inc, 1 sc) x 3, change to orange (1 sc, inc, 1 sc) x 3 [24]
Rnd 5: white (3 sc, inc) x 3, orange (3 sc, inc) x 3 [30]
Rnd 6: white (2 sc, inc, 2 sc) x 3, orange (2 sc, inc, 2 sc) x 3 [36]
Rnd 7: white (5 sc, inc) x 3, orange (5 sc, inc) x 3 [42]
Rnd 8: white (3 sc, inc, 3 sc) x 3, orange (3 sc, inc, 3 sc) x 3 [48]
Rnd 9: white (7 sc, inc) x 3, orange (7 sc, inc) x 3 [54]
Rnd 10: white (4 sc, inc, 4 sc) x 3, orange (4 sc, inc, 4 sc) x 3[60]
Rnd 11: white (9 sc, inc) x 3, orange (9 sc, inc) x 3 [66]
Rnd 12: white (5 sc, inc, 5 sc) x 3, orange (5 sc, inc, 5 sc) x 3 [72]
I continue working with two colors till the end of rnd 18 (I wanted to obtain two colors fifty-fifty when you look at the fox side-face). But if you think there should be fewer rounds of white color, adjust it and start working only with orange yarn in particular round.
Rnds 13-18: white 36 sc, orange 36 sc [72]
Rnds 19-25: orange 72 sc [72]
Rnd 26: (5 sc, dec, 5 sc) x 6 [66]
Rnd 27: (9 sc, dec) x 6 [60]
Rnd 28: (4 sc, dec, 4 sc) x 6 [54]
Rnd 29: (7 sc, dec) x 6 [48]
Rnd 30: (3 sc, dec, 3 sc) x 6 [42]
Rnd 31: (5 sc, dec) x 6 [36]
Rnd 32: (2 sc, dec, 2 sc) x 6 [30]
Rnd 33: (3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]
Rnd 34: (1 sc, dec, 1 sc) x 6 [18]
Rnd 35: (1 sc, dec) x 6 [12]
Rnd 36: 6 dec [6]
Fasten off, close the opening and weave in loose yarn ends.
EARS
I made ears in two versions:- version 1 - I made it at the beginning, because firstly I wanted to crochet ears in one piece. This version is made in one piece, based on changing color yarns within rounds, but it is not so perfect for me (look at picture below).
- version 2 - and I prefer this version - is based on two parts crocheted separately and sewed.
EAR (make 2) - version 1
Rnd 1: 3 sc in magic ring [3]
Rnd 2: 3 inc [6]
Rnd 3: 2 sc, inc, 3 sc [7]
Rnd 4: 3 sc, change to brown : inc, change to orange: 3 sc [8]
Rnd 5: 1 sc, inc, 1 sc, brown : 2 inc, orange: 1 sc, inc, 1 sc [12]
Rnd 6: 4 sc, brown: 4 sc; orange : 4 sc [12]
Rnd 7: 2 sc, inc, 1 sc, brown : 4 sc, orange: 1 sc, inc, 2 sc [14]
Rnd 8: 3 sc, inc, 1 sc, brown : 2 sc, inc, 1 sc, orange: 1 sc, inc, 3 sc [17]
EAR (make 2) - version 2 (I prefer this one)
Ear (orange part)
Rnd 1: 3 sc in MR [3]
Rnd 2: 3 inc [6]
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 3 [9]
Rnd 4: 9 sc [9]

EAR (inner part - dark brown)
Work in rows with no turning chains at the end of each round.
Row 1: ch 5, insert the hook in 2nd st from hook and work 4 sc [4]
Row 2: 4 sc [4]
Row 2: 4 sc [4]
Row 3: 2 dec [2]
Row 4: dec [1]
Work 4 sc on the left side, then ch 1 and 4 sc at the bottom (through both parts: dark brown and orange, inner part should be in the centre of orange outer part), then ch 1 and 4 sc on the right side, finish with 1 sc on the appex.
Finally sew left and right side of inner part to the orange part (bottom is already attached). Be careful not to sew through both surface of the orange ear, but only through the first one; the seam should be inside the ear).
Row 4: dec [1]
Work 4 sc on the left side, then ch 1 and 4 sc at the bottom (through both parts: dark brown and orange, inner part should be in the centre of orange outer part), then ch 1 and 4 sc on the right side, finish with 1 sc on the appex.
Finally sew left and right side of inner part to the orange part (bottom is already attached). Be careful not to sew through both surface of the orange ear, but only through the first one; the seam should be inside the ear).

Add some stuffing.
Bend the piece in half. Close the opening by working 6 sc hooking through the stitches of opposite sides. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
EYE (make 2)
In Amigurumi Workshop video I show you tutorial for the eyes. Written pattern is below.
Version 1 - flat
Crochet hook 2 mm.
We start from the pupil (black yarn) and then we change color to crochet iris.

Fasten off (I do invisible finish), weave in yarn ends.
I work the edging using black thin thread and crochet hook 1 mm (if you want to make black frame for the eyes, as in the original cutie creature). I work 2 sc in each stitch.
Finally I embroider white reflections in the centre of each eye.

Now all the parts are ready and I have to sew them. I recommend you to pin the parts before sewing.
Finally I will embroider the nose and smile (with black floss).
