Amigurumi Sleepy Fox

During weekends I like drinking coffee and catching up on my blog reading! Apart from reading and discovering new blogs I like browsinmg through the net always being on the lookout for inspiring things and new projects! So last weekend I discovered the German magazine PomPom focusing on crochet and knitting. I started reading away when I discovered a cute little fox hidden inside along with its instructions! I tried to make the fox but unfortunately the proportions didn't seem to work out for me! So I changed the pattern a bit in order to make it fit my own "needs"!
