About this pattern
Sahara is a fennec fox in sand and cream, and her huge ears are the star. You make nine parts, including a fluffy tail and a small black nose. She is a little different from the usual red fox, which is a nice twist for a desert-animal collection.
It makes a sweet baby shower gift, a birthday surprise or a little shelf friend, and you are welcome to sell the toys you make from it.

Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Sahara?
You need 3 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 70 g (120 yd / 110 m) of tan for the body, head, ears, arms, legs and tail, about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of cream for the muzzle and belly and about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of black for the nose. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (12 mm).
How tall is Sahara, and how many parts are there?
About 6.5 in (16 cm) tall. You crochet 9 parts (body, head, muzzle, nose, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 legs, belly and tail), 87 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Sahara together.
Is Sahara a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Sahara uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 9 parts and 87 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
