Assembly & Face Sculpting / Finishing
Jointed head option (English)
1:After crocheting the body up to Rnd 23, place the joint (disk + screw) inside the neck.
2:Crochet the head separately (use Head Rnds 1–15 above; optionally add 1–2 plain rounds if you want extra height). Pass the opening at the base of the head over the joint screw.
3:Continue the body with Rnds 24–32, decreasing around the joint screw to close the neck completely.
Sculpting (eye pits & muzzle)
Head back opening = Point 0.
Points 1–2 and 3–4: at about Round 7 on both sides of muzzle, 2 sts apart.
Point 5: 1 round below MR; Point 6: 5 rounds below MR.
With strong thread & long needle:
Go 0→2, enter at 1, exit 0. Tighten, knot. Repeat once.
For left eye: 0→3→4→0.
For muzzle: 0→5→6→0. Tighten, knot, hide tail inside.
White eye spots (optional)
With white yarn: MR, 8 sc, close; sew over eye sockets.
Ears
Shape pairs (inner+outer) and sew to head.
Limbs & tail

b: Sew arms.
c: Sew tail.
Face
Embroider a black line on muzzle; glue ready-made nose (or embroider).
Glue/attach eyes.
Embroider eyebrows.
(Fluffing) Brush gently with pet brush/Velcro before sewing parts if you want a fuzzier look.
Done! Your Little Fox is ready. 🦊
