A speedy, satisfying make for instant gratification.
A great first amigurumi — small, fast and only basic stitches.
A tiny, pocket-sized fox keychain with pointy ears and a friendly face — a quick, giftable make.
This little fox is worked as one small ball with attached ears and an embroidered face, finished with a keyring so it can ride along on your bag or keys.
It's the ideal scrap-buster and a brilliant introduction to amigurumi in under an hour.
