Amigurumi Crochet Fox in a Skirt Pattern

Legs (make 2)

1. 6 sc in MR
2. (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3-7 (5 rounds). 9 sc
Cut the yarn, crochet the second leg, then chain 5
8. Start joining the legs. I do it this way: join with sc, then 8 sc, reach the chain + 5 sc, around the other leg 9 sc, along the chain 5 sc (28)

This method is easier for me so I do not get confused. A small hole remains, and I sew it up when assembling the toy. Or do it however you prefer. You should end up with 28 stitches total.

Dress-Skirt

Amigurumi crochet fox in a skirt. Dress-skirt

I gathered a regular thin ribbon into a zigzag using a needle and thread. The length should match the fox's chest circumference. I secured it that way. Then I crocheted a long strip of chains, keeping in mind that we will also tie the dress in the back with it (you can make the strip a little thicker by using sc).

Then I sewed the strip to the ribbon with tiny invisible stitches, covering the zigzag line made earlier with the thread.
