How to Crochet No-Sew Mini Fox Plushie (Written Pattern)
In this post, I will share a quick written pattern on the cutest mini fox plushie I have ever seen. About 8.5 cm tall, this fox plushie is detailed yet no-sew and designed beautifully than any other creator.
I instantly fell in love with the fox head, with even the fuzzy cheeks and the glittery eyes that reflect a nice, life-like feel. Only the tail is crocheted separately, but then joined to the body as you work.
