Notes

This was a fairly quick and easy project; the only tricky part was assembling the different parts and stuffing + sewing on the head. I used glass buttons as eyes because the cheaper plastic buttons weren’t nearly as cute.
Although I love love love my Mr Fox, I have to admit that the pattern was not worth the money!!

There were some minor parts that weren’t explained well, e.g. how to make the paws look good. Most people seem to have skipped that part… Also, the entire construction is pretty simple; it is not knitted in the round, thus the wrong side doesn’t look very nice. The tail always curls and turns to the wrong side whenever I wear it.
The fox would look so much cuter if it was knitted in the round! If I knitted this pattern again, I’d only follow the instructions for the head and improvise the rest, especially the tail and the legs need some major revision.

Conclusion: very cute head but the entire construction needs some major revision; definitely NOT worth the $$$!
