Important Note: This is a colorwork amigurumi using Split Single Crochet / Knit Stitch / Waistcoat Stitch method. Please DO NOT attempt to convert it to normal Single Crochet.

Why use Split Sing Crochet instead of normal Single Crochet?
Please take note that this amigurumi pattern is using Split Single Crochet (SSC), some may know it as Crochet Knit Stitch or Waistcoat Stitch. Unlike the normal Single Crochet, SSC inserts hook in between the legs of the next st. In colorwork amigurumi where stitches are crochet in the continuous round, SSC keeps the colorwork vertically straight throughout the round. It is because the hook is inserted in between the legs of next stitch, but if you are using normal Single Crochet, the colorwork will lean to the right or left depending if you are right handed or left handed.

How to change yarn color in colorwork crochet?
Follow the pattern to work on stitches in color A until the last yarn over, pull through the loop with the new color B. Leave the color A behind until it is time to work on it again. Continue to work in Color B until it is time to change the color back to A, on the last stitch in the color B, just pull through the color A on the last yarn over and drop the color B. Leave a decent length of the unwork yarn between the color change so that it won’t distort the shape of your amigurumi. Repeat this until you have completed the pattern.
Note: I don’t hide the unworked yarn between the stitches because it will cause distortion in stitch height, especially in SSC stitch.

Fox Amigurumi Assembly

Pic 1
This is how the inside of the colorwork amigurumi looks. You may leave the unworked yarn stranded as it is. If you have left a decent length of yarn between the colorwork, then you are fine to leave them as it is. If the yarns are too short, you may trim the yarn and knot them together as shown in Pic 2.

Pic 2
Personally, I prefer to neaten my lengthy unworked yarn stranded across the colorwork section. The clean interior is easier for stuffing and shaping.

Align the muzzle of the fox amigurumi with the marking between the eyes as shown in the picture. Pin, sew and stuff the muzzle to the head.

Next, position and pin the ears to the head. Make sure bother ears are aligned and in symmetry.

This is the top view of the head of the fox amigurumi. A better view of the locations of the ears.

Position all parts together. First, sew the head to the body, followed by the arms, legs, and tail respectively.

Mr. Furu, the Fox Amigurumi is done, put on his glasses and he is ready to go all out to the woodland.

You may sew the tail pointing upwards instead of pointing downward.
