13: (dec)*9, (dc)*1 - 10
14: (sc dec)*5 - 5
Finish off, leaving a long tail.

Ears: The placement will depend on your taste of how far apart you want them to be.
With the head facing towards you, counting down the center of the nose, count straight back to the desired row (about row 11) then count to the right and left 5-6 stitches to place your hook (this will be the outer edge of the ear).
For left ear: work with the face toward you
1: With your yarn already looped onto your hook, insert it into the spot you want to start and sc 3.
2: turn, sk 1st stitch (don't ch), tc in next st, sl st in last st, then sl st in head. Finish off.
For right ear: turn the head around so you're working from the back side then repeat the instructions for the left ear.

Body: (I don't remember exactly what I did - something like the following...)
*The increases might be a little confusing since I switch back and forth between dc and sc, but for this pattern if you have been doing dc, the increase will be a dc increase and if you have been doing sc, the increase will be a sc increase.*

After the tail is finished, add the "fur". I used mostly reddish/brown, but used some white for the tail tip.
I just cut the strands of thread into approximately 1” strips. Insert the crochet hook, pull the thread partway through, then pull the ends through the loop. Pull tight.

After I finished adding the fur, I brushed it vigorously with a hairbrush to fray it a little.

Assemble the fox, add the keychain ring, and embroider eyes, nose, and a smile!

Airplane Crochet Patten

This airplane has a nice little seat to add a rider!

The only thing I'd try to change if I made the airplane again is make the decrease rows of the nose (rounds 14-17) and seat (rounds 8-11) tighter so they don't bulge inward. On this "model", a lot of the seat is filled in by the decrease rows.

*UPDATED* Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern

I made this dog and pattern a while back, but in the original post, I noted some changes I'd make if I ever made the dog again. I made another dog and here's the updated pattern. (I did leave the old pattern on the blog, but only for reference. This pattern is much better.)

One thing I did with this puppy is I gave it hinging legs so it could sit down (I used buttons for the hinges).

Dog Pattern:
Using Size 4 yarn and a size G/6-4.00 MM hook

Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.
Dec - For this pattern it always means sc2tog.
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sc2tog - sc 2 together
BLO - back loop only
FLO - front loop only

Finish off.

Waist:
3: ch 29, sl st across the 9 dcs of row 2, ch 6, (making sure the chains aren't twisted) join the chains together with a slip stitch.

15: ch 2, dc 11, (only crochet in back loop of ch so the other leg can be crocheted in front loop) dc 7 across chain, dc 11
16: ch 1, sc around - finish off

Second leg: I started mine in the middle of the inside part of the leg so the seam wouldn't show. However, you could start anywhere on the leg and adjust the pattern accordingly.
1: working in the front loop of the chain, ch 2 in middle (4th) stitch (this counts as your 1st dc) then dc around - 29 (in the 5th dc - the 1st st in the back of the pants - I noticed a hole between the legs. So I made a dc2tog going through the st of the other leg and went on. I did the same for the front leg join.)
2: sl st 4, 22 dc, sl st 3
3: sl st in 1st st & ch 1, sc 29 - finish off

Straps: with the back of the dog facing me, I did the right strap first. I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 13 & 14. For the left strap, I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 14 & 15.

Attach yarn & ch 20
Starting in 3rd ch from hook & working in back of chain: 6 dc, hdc, 9 sc, attach to next stitch in overalls.

Sew buttons onto front of overalls.
