C2C crochet fox pattern

ByMelissa Hassler

This C2C crochet fox pattern is such a fun woodland project! The sweet fox face makes an adorable pillow, but you can also use the panel for a blanket, tote bag, or wall hanging. If you love cute animal crochet patterns, this one is a cozy little project to add to your list.

This panel is one of 12 animal designs included in my crochet woodland baby blanket pattern.

C2C crochet fox pattern details

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, sizing, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Skill level

Advanced beginners. This pattern is made using the C2C crochet method and it involves color changes.

Materials needed

  • Crochet Hook Size: G-6 4 mm
  • Yarn: Worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver in white, black, buff and cafe latte.
  • Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.
  • Scissors: Use scissors to fasten off your yarn.
  • Stitch markers: Optional. Use these to help keep track of your stitches. 

Finished size

The finished panel measures 14 x 14 inches (36 x 36 cm).

Gauge

8 blocks (ch 3 + 3 dc) = 4 inches (10 cm)

Crochet abbreviations

  • dc = double crochet
  • sc = single crochet
  • ch/chs = chain/chains
  • st/sts = stitch/stitches
  • sl st = slip stitch

Pattern notes

  • The panel is made in the C2C technique. You make “blocks” in diagonal rows starting in the bottom right corner and ending in the top left corner.
  • Each block is made of a chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
  • Chain 6 to start a new row and chain 3 to start a new block.
  • You can follow the graph or the written pattern.
  • The written pattern tells you how many blocks to make of each color and in what order.
  • ↙ You are working on the “right side”.
  • ↗ You are working on the “wrong side”. 
  • The pattern is written in US terms.

After you finish the last block you are going to continue crocheting around the border.

Adding a border

Ch 1, in the side of each block you will make two sc and in each corner you will sc-ch 2-sc.

Pillow instructions

To turn your fox panel into a pillow, make a second panel using the same pattern, but without the color changes.

Place the panels with the wrong sides together and the right sides facing out. Using a tapestry needle, sew around the single crochet borders. Sew three sides together, then add a pillow insert or fiber fil. Finish by sewing the last side closed.
