About This Foxes in the Apple Bag Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates two tiny fox amigurumi (a red fox and a white fox) with a detailed apple-shaped bag that opens like a case. It includes all body parts, clothing, and small accessories so you can finish a complete scene. Techniques include jacquard color changes, tight amigurumi stitching, and precise assembly for a neat finished toy.

Why You'll Love This Foxes in the Apple Bag Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines small-scale amigurumi with a fun, practical accessory — an apple bag that stores the foxes. I enjoy the technical challenge of jacquard color changes on such a tiny scale and the satisfaction of neat assembly. The pattern produces charming, poseable characters that feel special to give as gifts. I love how each piece (pillow, blanket, dress) adds personality and storytelling potential to the finished set.

Switch Things Up

I love how many ways you can customize this pattern: I often change the fox colors to make a whole family — try cinnamon, cream, and gray for variety.

I sometimes use a slightly larger hook and worsted yarn to make a jumbo version; it becomes a cuddly toy instead of a tiny collectible.

I add felt or embroidered patches to the dress and pillow for seasonal themes — tiny hearts for Valentine or stars for a holiday set.

I adjust eye size to change expression; swapping safety eyes for embroidered eyes gives a softer, child-safe finish.

I often replace the buttons on the apple bag with magnetic snaps for easier opening and closing while keeping the look neat.

I recommend experimenting with the jacquard color placement to create stripes or check patterns on the blanket or the apple interior.

I sometimes add a loop or keyring to the apple stem to turn the bag into a keychain or backpack charm.

I enjoy embroidering small freckles or whiskers on the fox faces to add even more personality to each character.

I occasionally use metallic yarn for the leaf or stem to give the apple a special shine for gift versions.

I encourage you to make matching sets — several foxes and apples in different colorways look lovely displayed together.

I also like adding wire inside limbs for posable arms if the toy will be used for display rather than by small children.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers at the start of rounds causes loss of your beginning point; place a marker at the first stitch of every round to keep track of row starts and increases. ✗ Not stuffing evenly results in lumpy or misshapen parts; stuff gradually and evenly, checking shape frequently and adding fiberfill in small increments. ✗ Pulling yarn too tight when using 1.75 mm hook can make assembly difficult and distort the shape; maintain consistent moderate tension and practice on a swatch. ✗ Forgetting to change colors correctly in jacquard sections leads to visible floats or wrong stitches; carry the yarn neatly and switch colors at the last yarn over as directed to keep edges tidy. ✗ Skipping counting during increases/decreases causes incorrect stitch counts and poor shaping; count your stitches after every round of increases or decreases to confirm counts.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach ears to head by sewing through the base of each ear, aligning them symmetrically and securing several stitches so they sit firmly on the head.
  • Fasten the legs and arms with a thread mount; use a long needle and strong thread to pass through the body and anchor the limbs for stable attachment.
  • Sew the tail to the lower back of the body, positioning it centrally and securing it with several tight stitches.
  • Attach the apple base to the side (ring) part with red yarn using reverse single crochet (96 reverse sc) evenly spaced; fasten off and weave in ends.
  • Sew the brown pocket onto one half of the apple base using the long tail left from the pocket, positioning it centered as in the photos.
  • Sew pillow and blanket inside the apple bag and add the dress to the fox; finish by embroidering eyelids, mouth and nose with black thread for facial expression.

Important Notes

  • 💡Crochet very tightly with 1.75 mm hook to keep stuffing from showing and to maintain shape of tiny pieces.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round especially when working in continuous rounds and during increases/decreases.
  • 💡Carry color yarns neatly for jacquard work and change colors at the last yarn over to avoid loose floats and to keep edges tidy.
  • 💡Stuff pieces firmly but not overpacked; too much stuffing may distort shaping and make seams hard to close.

This charming Foxes in the Apple Bag set is full of tiny details and cozy personality. It makes a perfect handmade gift or a collectible for your shelf. Follow the clear step-by-step photos and instructions to create a miniature world you can carry in your hands. 🧶🍎

The foxes measure approximately 11 cm (4.3 inches) tall and the apple bag measures about 15 cm long x 14 cm wide x 7 cm thick when using the recommended yarn and 1.75 mm hook.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but the finished size will change. If you choose a thicker yarn, use an appropriately larger hook and expect a chunkier finished toy; adjust stuffing and eye size accordingly.

Do I need advanced skills to follow this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate due to tiny pieces, jacquard color changes and precise assembly. Basic amigurumi skills and familiarity with increases, decreases and colorwork are recommended.

How long does this project typically take to complete?
