Introduction
Crochet Fox tutorial is a series where we learn how to crochet a cute little fox. In this second part, we will focus on crocheting the legs of the fox. With step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow techniques, you'll be able to create adorable fox legs in no time. So let's grab our crochet hooks and get started!
Crocheting the Upper Legs
To crochet the upper legs of the fox, we will begin with a magic ring and black yarn. Start by making six single crochets in the magic ring. Next, we will make the upper leg by chaining one and then making five single crochets in the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch, making sure the first stitch is not in the chain.
In the next round, we will increase the number of stitches. Make two single crochets in each stitch around, resulting in a total of 12 stitches. For the third round, we will increase again, but not as much. Make two single crochets in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet in the next five stitches. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, resulting in 14 stitches.
For the following four rounds, make one single crochet in each stitch without any increases or decreases. This will maintain the same number of stitches at 14. After these rounds, it's time to switch to orange yarn.
Crocheting the Lower Legs
To crochet the lower legs, start with a magic ring using black yarn and a four millimeters crochet hook. In the first round, make seven single crochets in the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch, marking the beginning of the round.
In the second round, increase the number of stitches by making two single crochets in each stitch around. This will result in a total of 14 stitches. In the third round, increase every second stitch by making two single crochets in the first stitch and one single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round, resulting in 21 stitches.
In the next round, there will be a slight change. Make one double crochet in the next three stitches, followed by one single crochet. Repeat this pattern three times in total. Afterward, make one single crochet in the next nine stitches, resulting in 21 stitches at the end of the round.
For the next two rounds, make one single crochet in each stitch without any increases or decreases. This will maintain the same number of stitches at 21. After these rounds, switch to orange yarn.
In five rounds, make one single crochet in each stitch, maintaining the same number of stitches. After these rounds, it's time to make a slight increase. Make two single crochets in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet in the next six stitches. Repeat this pattern once more, resulting in a total of 15 stitches.
In the next round, increase three times by making two single crochets in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet in the next four stitches. Repeat this pattern twice more, resulting in 18 stitches. For the following two rounds, make one single crochet in each stitch, maintaining the same number of stitches at 18.
To shape the leg, decrease at the beginning of the round. Repeat this pattern until there are only eight stitches left at the end of the round. Close the hole using the same technique as before, and your upper and lower legs are complete!
