FOX IN BED


My daughter saw a picture of a fox laying on a bed with a blanket and pillow on Instagram. She asked if I could make something like that for her. I told her that I could. The most difficult part of this was the bed itself. The one in the picture was wooden. I decided that to make my version different from the one on Instagram, I would crochet the bed. Of course, I had to make the fox before I could make the bed.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: Carrot, white, black, coffee, yellow, red, orange, green, aqua, blue, purple, and teal
E crochet hook
Polyester fiberfill
Tapestry needle
Safety eyes
4 wooden dowels
Poly Foam (cut to match the size the bed)
