After seeing all the amazing fox amigurumi from other designers, I finally have the time to make my own foxy~~~ Absolutely love this pattern and this cute fox. As long as you find an amazing reddish brown yarn that you love, it will turn out amazing! 

Basic crochet techniques and invisible color changes are used in this pattern. I used a complete circle for the entire pattern, ending each row with a slip stitch. The purpose of the method is to make counting stitches easier, if you using continuous round, it will work as well~

I mark the color change part by eg. white yarn [number of stitches], please use the marked color for the stitch in the bracket~

You finish by stuffing everything then sew everything together~ Last thing is sewing the nose with a black thread. I attached some photos for your reference.

Use some pin needles to confirm where to sew the ears and nose.

The nose will be across two rounds from the magic ring hole. Then sew the smiling part~

I also love adding a scarf to complete the fox. To make the scarf, make 43 chains, then do double crochet into the second loop from hook. Then double crochet for all 40 chains, and end with chain 2, slip stitch into the first loop.
