The fox
critter hats are ever so popular. I
really do think they’re the cutest things!
My favorite pattern to use is by Theresa Grant. You can find it here.
But, I like
things in sets. If there’s a top, there
must be a bottom, right? So, I decided
to add some shorts from my favorite go-to pattern by Veronica’s crochet. You can find that pattern here.
However,
every good fox needs and even better tail. I looked and looked and looked for one and was
unsuccessful. So, what do you know, I
made up my own.
