Wolf and Fox are besties though they often fight, a fabled pair of strength and wit, keen to out-survive the other. Through the village at night they haunt the cellar for goods, howl to chill your bones but ready for the arms of women with clubs. Here they are, posing vintage, the starting pack of a woodland creatures series soon to come.
 

  

What you need to know

Skill level: easy to moderate.

Size: About 10”/25 cm from top of head to tip of feet.

Yarn: BLACK, DARK and LIGHT GREY - Light Fingering / 3 ply

Hook: I used 2.50 mm for extra tightness.

As you will probably see, this pattern is very similar to the instructions on how the Fox is made. 

Do not join rounds. Mark the last stitch of first round and move the marker up with each round.
