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

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines two charming fox characters with a playful apple bag that doubles as a scene. I enjoyed designing the jacquard color transitions on the faces and tails to add personality without complicated colorwork. I love that it includes small accessories—a pillow and blanket—that make the finished set feel lovingly complete. I hope you enjoy the assembly photos and tips as much as I enjoyed creating them; they make finishing and posing the foxes simple and satisfying.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize the foxes by changing yarn colors; try soft pastel tones for a nursery set or bold hues for a playful look.

To make a larger or smaller version, change your yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn with a larger hook creates a chunky plush, while finer yarn gives a delicate mini amigurumi.

I often switch the safety eyes to embroidered eyes for a fully child-safe toy or add glass eyes for a more realistic finish if the piece is for display.

Try adding tiny clothes or accessories: a knitted scarf, felt boots, or a little crocheted hat to give each fox personality and variety.

For the apple bag, change the interior color or add a zipper instead of button fasteners for a more modern bag closure.

I like to sew a small loop or keyring to the bag stem so it can be used as a keychain or bag charm — practical and adorable.

Experiment with embroidered facial expressions to change mood: higher mouth placement and angled eyes create a cheeky look, while rounded eyes make a sweeter expression.

If you want more posability, insert thin wire into the limbs before stuffing to create bendable arms and legs you can pose.

Use duplicate stitch or small felt appliques to add patterns to the blanket or pillow for personalized details and color contrast.

Finally, try different button styles or tiny beads on the dress fastener to perfectly match your chosen color palette and theme.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not using a small enough hook will make the stitches loose and stuffing show through; use a 1.75 mm hook and maintain tight tension to keep the fabric neat. ✗ Skipping stitch markers during rounds causes lost stitch counts and uneven shaping; place a marker at the first stitch of each round and move it after each round to track progress. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually leads to lumps and misshapen parts; stuff small amounts at a time while shaping and adjust stuffing as you go to keep smooth curves. ✗ Changing colors incorrectly during jacquard sections can leave visible floats; carry the color loosely and complete the color change before pulling the new color tightly to the back. ✗ Cutting yarn too early when making ears or layered pieces results in chasing ends while sewing; leave long tails for sewing and only weave in ends after pieces are firmly attached.

Assembly Instructions

  • Tighten and shape the cheeks as shown in the photos, pulling a length of yarn through the face to create recessed cheeks before tying off.
  • Attach ears to the head symmetrically and sew securely using the long tails left for sewing; position ears slightly angled for a natural look.
  • Fasten the legs and arms with a thread mount, then attach the legs and arms using a long needle and thread, wrapping and securing the thread inside the body for stability.
  • Sew the tail to the back of the body and stuff firmly but not overfilled to maintain shape, then embroider the upper eyelids, mouth and nose with black thread as pictured.
  • Connect the apple base to the side parts using red yarn with reverse single crochet (96 reverse sc) and weave in all ends to finish the bag edges.
  • Sew the brown pocket to the inside of one apple-half, position the pillow and blanket inside the bag, and attach the dress to the fox by sewing a small button and loop fastener.

Important Notes

  • 💡Crochet very tightly with the recommended 1.75 mm hook to prevent stuffing from showing through the stitches.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round and to keep accurate stitch counts during increases and decreases.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually and evenly for smooth shapes, and weave in ends after pieces are attached to avoid visible tails.
  • 💡When changing colors in jacquard sections, carry yarn loosely and complete the color change cleanly to keep the front neat.
  • 💡Place safety eyes between rounds indicated (insert eyes between rounds 18-19) at a distance of 8-10 single crochets.

Create two tiny fox friends and a sweet apple-shaped bag to keep them safe in one delightful project. This set is perfect for gifting and makes a charming play-scene for little hands. Handcrafted details, colorwork faces and tiny accessories bring extra joy to every finished piece. 🧡🍎🧶

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The height of the foxes is approximately 11 cm (4.3 inches) using the recommended yarn and 1.75 mm hook; the bag measures roughly 15 cm long x 14 cm wide x 7 cm thick if using the same materials and gauge.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, but different yarn weights will change the final size significantly; if you switch yarn weight, adjust hook size and expect larger or smaller finished pieces.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate; you should be comfortable with basic amigurumi techniques, working in the round, increases/decreases and simple color changes (jacquard).

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crocheters complete the full set in about 8-10 hours, though it will vary depending on experience, speed, and how much time is spent on assembly and finishing.

Where do I place the safety eyes?

Insert the safety eyes between rounds 18 and 19 of the head, at a spacing of approximately 8-10 single crochet stitches apart for the correct look.
