How to Crochet a Fox Blanket Tutorial

By:

Happy Tuesday!

I am happy to finally release the blanket I have been working on for several weeks now!  If you follow me on Snapchat you have seen me working on it.  I made a video showing you all the steps on how to make this Like a Fox Blanket from Yarnspirations.com!  You can get your free pattern HERE!  Full video tutorial is down below in this post.

 

 

Materials:
6 balls Bernat Softee Baby Chunky in Creamsicle
1 ball of Bernat Softee Baby Chunky in Cream Puff
1 ball of Bernat Softee Baby Chunky in Nighty Night
L/8 mm crochet hook
H/5 mm crochet hook
yarn needle

*Refer to your Free pattern HERE for full instructions.

 

 

I love how in this photo he looks like a little fox exploring in the grass… It’s just the cutest!!

Here is the full video tutorial.  The video is quite long at 50 minutes, and it shows you Every.Step.Of.The.Way.  I would say this is an experienced beginner project because it utilizes several different stitches, but I show you them all in real time, so have no fear ;).  None of the video is sped up, but I do jump ahead if I have already covered something. I will also include the timecode with the steps broken down so that you can jump straight to the spot you need to.

  53. Oh deer blanket is my favourite. I’m expecting a new niece or nephew any time soon and this would be perfect to keep baby all snuggled up. I’ve never knitted anything baby wise as I can’t have children on my own. So I try to be a great auntie to my brothers growing brood.

  54. I wish I had that fox blanket pattern a few months ago! It is soooo much cuter than the one someone had me make!

    Dotty the Fawn is my fav stuffie of the bunch.

  56. It is so hard to choose, but I love the raccoon hat! I can just see it on my grandson! I am just getting back into crochet and knitting and have been having a blast with your easy patterns. Thank you!! Kat

  57. The racoons are SUPER adorable! You don’t see many patterns for racoon-type things…people normally associate them with garbage and rabies!

  58. They are all so cute! I like the Squirreled Away Blanket best. With that texture, it looks so cozy! Thank you for the free patterns!

  77. I like the little fawn and racoon but I really wish I could find a pattern for a cougar cub.

  83. I love rocky raccoon! This looks like an awesome project!! Do you think this is would work for an eight year old? Would I have to make it longer?
