Pocket Valentines – Part 6 (Crochet
Pattern)
FEATURED ~ 3 COMMENTS
This little fox was not planned. But once the idea popped into my head, I had to make it.
If you have made the other Valentine critters, you will notice that most of the instructions are the same
as for the other animals. Only the tail and some of the facial details are different.

Part 2: Bear
Part 3: Narwhal
Part 4: Frog, Bunny, and Pig
Part 5: Bee (coming soon)
Part 6: Fox
Part 7: Axolotl

Cut the orange yarn leaving a long enough tail to crochet around the orange part. With a needle carry
it to the left side of the tail and begin sc around the orange part with the orange yarn. When you get to
the white part, change color and use the white beginning tail. Sc around with white. Fasten off when
you get to the orange. I did not slip stitch to join to the orange. I sewed the first orange and last white
stitches together. Weave in all ends, except for the one you will use to sew the tail in place.
