Assembly The Paws (make 2) Pentagons: 4 black
The Ears (make 2) Square: 4 Pentagons: 6 Hexagons: 2
Take 2 squares and 2 pentagons and sew them together as the picture above is showing. One pentagon on the front and one on the back. The purple lines show that these sides of the squares should be sewn together with the pentagon on the back, just as it is in the front.
Next is to sew on one hexagon on the front and on pentagon on the back. The left picture shows the front with the hexagon and the right picture shows the back with the pentagon. Don’t sew the hexagon and pentagon together with each other!
The Head Square: 1 (nose) Pentagons: 8 (2 white) Hexagons: 2 (eyes, marked with blue) Heptagon: 1 (white)
Red line: Shows how the front of the ear should fit together with the front of the head. As shown above.
Green line: Shows how the back of the ear fit together with the back of the head.
Blue line: Show which flowers the paws will be sewn on to. The picture on the right show how to sew on the paws under the body. The picture below show how the paws will be sewn together on the top.
The back Pentagons: 3 Hexagons: 5

Then sew on 2 hexagons in the middle of the tail. One in the front and one on the back. Marked with purple lines. Then take 2 pentagons and sew on to the tail, one on each side. Do the same on the back. The picture below on the left is before and the picture on the right is after.
Last take 2 hexagons and sew on to the tail. One in the front and one on the back. Sew the hexagons together where the purple line is. Don’t sew the hexagons together where they are marked with yellow. These sides will be sewn on to the body.
Assembly
The belly and the Back This will be the ”butt” of the fox. Tip: Start by sewing the two flowers together that are marked with the red line. Here you can see the yellow lines for the tail again. The remaining sides of the belly and the back will be sewn together with the head.
The body and the Head At the top of the chart we have the back piece and how it will be sewn together with the back of the head. Marked with purple lines on the picture of the fox. Notice also the yellow lines. This is where the tail and body will be sewn together. The same thing with the belly on the bottom of this page. It’s also marked with purple and also shows where the tail will be.
The eyes is made in 2 layers. Underneath there are a normal hexagon and in the middle of the hexagon you sew on a circle. Go through both loops of the circle and go down between each dc on the 6th row of the Hexagon flower. You might find it easier to make the eye lashes before sewing on the circle Circle: Rnd 1: ch 2
