Welcome to another part of the “crochet fall plushie” series. Today, you will learn how to crochet this one-piece 16cm baby fox plush using velvet yarn, embroidery thread, and glitter eyes with a FREE written pattern and a tutorial as well. Crochet it as a fall birthday present for a little one or for Thanksgiving.

The cutest part of this crochet fox plushie is its eyelashes, eyebrows, and the white face patch. You can also use the base amigurumi plush pattern of this crochet fox plush for many other animal dolls, such as the dog, bear, and cat.

For this fall, I have already shared the two crochet fox plushie patterns. This includes the chubby fox and the fuzzy yarn fox plush. You can easily crochet this fall fox plushie within 1 hour thanks to the use of the super bulky yarn. Now, continue reading for the full crochet fox pattern for this year.

How to Crochet an Easy Baby Fox Plushie

Make a squishy crochet fox made with super bulky plush yarn! The body is designed with minimal sewing: the tail, arms, legs, and even the muzzle are seamlessly crocheted directly into the body and head as you work.

You will begin by creating all the limbs and the muzzle piece first, and then build the body from the bottom up, dropping those pieces in as you go.

Finally, you’ll crochet two separate triangular pieces for the ears, join them with a single crochet border, and sew them on for the perfect woodland creature finish!
