Child Size Fox Hat – free crochet pattern

October 19, 2014 By Corina Leave a Comment

Child Size Fox Hat - Free Crochet Pattern

If you haven't already made the Fox Tail, you must check the Fox Tail Tutorial out right away! I used the same pet brush to fluff this basic medium weight beanie!  You do not have to fluff the beanie you make, it looked beautiful with clean stitches- My daughter is just asking for a fluffy type of fox costume. As much as I would love to make every piece of her costume with super fluffy yarn… it just isn't practical for me at the moment. Basic medium weight yarn is much easier to buy in the colors I need.
There will be more pieces to my daughters costume. If you want to make sure you never miss a post, make sure you subscribe! You can find the option to subscribe on the right side of this site. Thanks!!

-Attach the ivory pieces to the front of the ears. Be sure not to attach all the way through the ear.

This Step Is Optional – Using the pet brush lightly brush the ears.

Attach the ears to the head. *tip* One side of the ears will be at the bottom of row 3 and the other side at the top of row 6. Make sure you curve the ear.. the back of the middle of the ear should line up with  row 3.  I did not attach mine to the very center of the hat.. Iv'e noticed that the ears go back a little too far on the head when I do that, especially for a fox.
