Why You'll Love This Mr. Fox and His House Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures a lot of personality in a very small form — the tiny muzzle, ears, and jacket bring the fox to life. I love the challenge of working with size-10 thread and a 1.5 mm hook to create crisp stitches and fine details. The step-by-step photos and clear assembly notes make the finishing enjoyable and rewarding for me. Seeing the finished fox tucked into its little tree-stump house always makes me smile and I hope you will feel the same pride when you finish yours.

Switch Things Up

I love how this pattern lends itself to customization; you can change the colors to create a different woodland creature by swapping Clementine for a gray or brown to make a raccoon or bear.

To make the fox larger or smaller, change your thread and hook: use a thicker thread and larger hook for a chunkier, cuddlier version or thinner thread and smaller hook for an even tinier keychain version.

I often swap the jacket color and add tiny embroidered buttons or bead accents to give each fox a unique personality and story.

Try different eye types: safety eyes give a shiny look while French knots or bead eyes create a matte, hand-stitched expression for a softer finish.

For a posable fox, consider adding a short length of fine wire in the limbs before finishing, wrapping lightly with yarn so the wire does not poke through.

I sometimes alter the hat brim or pom-pom size to create seasonal versions—add a tiny scarf in contrasting colors for winter or a flower crown for spring.

Swap the messenger bag color and stitch tiny initials or symbols using embroidery floss to personalize gifts for friends and family.

Experiment with different stuffing levels: slightly less stuffing gives a floppy, soft look; more stuffing makes a compact, firm toy ideal for display.

I also like to make a mini clothing set—crochet a tiny scarf, boots, or changeable hooded cape to create mix-and-match wardrobes.

Finally, play with facial placement and embroidery to change the fox's expression—move the muzzle or eyes slightly and try different nose shapes to convey sleepy, surprised, or mischievous personalities.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when leaving spaces for arms or legs can make placement inaccurate; mark the exact stitches with contrasting thread or markers to ensure correct spacing before continuing. ✗ Not stuffing gradually causes lumps or misshapen body sections; stuff a little at a time and shape as you go to keep smooth, even curves. ✗ Changing color without securing tails can lead to loose ends; secure color changes by weaving in tails or carrying the yarn where indicated and weave ends before finishing. ✗ Crocheting too loosely when making small tubes like arms will make them floppy and loose; work slightly tighter tension on tiny rounds and use a smaller hook if needed to keep shape. ✗ Forgetting to stitch the muzzle in the correct rounds will misalign facial features; follow the assembly notes (sew muzzle top between Rounds 5 and 6 and bottom between Rounds 11 and 12) and pin before sewing.

— Assembly :

Info :

NOTE: While I was sewing the pieces together, I was experimenting with the eye size. In some pictures I used 4 mm eyes and in others 3 mm eye. At the end, I thought the 3 mm eyes look better.

Item Name (P1) :

Muzzle: The top (where we did hdc and dc) is sewn in the space between Rounds 5 and 6 and the bottom - in the space between Rounds 11 and 12. Before finishing, stuff the muzzle as much as you can. Once done sewing the muzzle, create a little triangle right above with the tail left from sewing. Only sew the dc stitches of the muzzle. Once you create the little triangle, sew a line going up 3 rounds from the top of the triangle (sew twice) and secure the stitches.

Item Name (P1) :

Nose: Create a little triangle with black thread. Then keep sewing until you fill it completely.

Item Name (P1) :

Ears: The ears are sewn at an angle. The top is sewn between Rounds 2 and 3 and the bottom is sewn between Rounds 6 and 7. If the ears are leaning forward, insert the needle through the round of the ear right above the one that we attached to the head and pulling back sew it to the head to bring the ears back up. Use a permanent fabric marker to add the black to the top of the ears if desired.

Item Name (P1) :

Tail: Sew the tail to close and then sew the tail to the back of the body, about 3 spaces above the legs.

Item Name (P1) :

Chest: Using color Natural, cross stitch the chest area. Do 3 cross stitches on Round 14 of the body and 1 cross stitch in Round 15. Because this is such a small doll, you may need to pull the needle through the back of the body in order to cross stitch.

— Jacket and Accessories :

Jacket :

With Jalapeno, ch 13. Row 1: 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 2 sc in each st until end of row; ch 1 and turn - 24 sts.

Earlier we left 2 chains and 5 stitches to make the sleeves. Join Jalapeno to one of the chains and 1 sc in that chain.

Round 2 :

sc around; sl st to join and ch 1 - 10 sts

Round 3 :

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the muzzle top (hdc and dc area) between Rounds 5 and 6 and the bottom between Rounds 11 and 12; stuff the muzzle before finishing and create a small triangle above it for shaping, then sew a line up three rounds from the top to secure.
  • Position and sew ears with the top between Rounds 2 and 3 and the bottom between Rounds 6 and 7; if ears lean forward, insert the needle through a round above and pull back to anchor and bring the ear upright.
  • Sew the tail closed then attach it to the back of the body about three spaces above the legs so it sits centered and secure.
  • Attach legs to the bottom, stuff lightly, finish off and secure the stitches; stitch the six stitches between the legs to close and stabilize.
  • Use Natural color to cross-stitch chest area: 3 cross stitches on Round 14 of the body and 1 cross stitch on Round 15; sew through the back if necessary for tiny work.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers or contrasting thread to mark the beginning of rounds and the spaces left for arms and legs to ensure accurate placement during assembly.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually and shape as you go to avoid lumps; overstuffing can distort tiny amigurumi shapes.
  • 💡Carry yarn or weave tails into nearby stitches when possible to avoid many ends in tiny sleeves and to keep the inside neat before final finishing.
  • 💡Work slightly tighter tension with very small hook and fine thread to keep small parts sturdy and neat.
