This is a beautiful creation! I can't wait to try it! PS - Loomahat.com says hi :)
ReplyDeleteAnother marvelous pattern! Once again, LoomaHat.com says, "Hello," to you.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've got two legs to do and I think this is a fabulous pattern, thank you!
ReplyDeletelost on the ears please help
ReplyDeleteThe ears to keep in mind are being done on a certain number of pegs in a short row series. The series is working up to a point and back down to a base. Think of it like building a pyramid from the base to the point, and back down to the base again. Hope this was helpful.

ReplyDeleteI made the fox head but the nose looks more like a bear with fox ears. I don't know how to fix it and didn't realize until after I stuffed and sewed. Hes still cute tho. Any remedies?

ReplyDeleteI know it's been three years since you posted this but a video on making the fox would be very helpful. If you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteThank You! I too would enjoy a video.
