Get ready for the Fall’s and the Woodland’s theme craft! Please meet Mr. Furu, the Fox Amigurumi, the latest edition amigurumi crochet pattern in Craft Passion’s library.
Mr. Furu, the Fox Amigurumi measures about 10 inches tall. It was crochet by using a 3.5mm crochet hook in the colorwork of orange, white and black Acrylic yarns. Unlike normal amigurumi crochet method, the pattern of fox amigurumi calls for “Split Single Crochet Stitch“, some may know it as “Crochet Knit Stitch” or “Waistcoat Stitch” where the hook is inserted in between the legs of the next stitch. By way of using Split Single Crochet Stitch in this pattern, it will keep the colorwork vertically straight throughout the round. (Warnings: Please do not attempt to crochet it with normal single crochet (US terms), it won’t work in the correct proportion in size, shape, and colorwork.)
While I was working on the sock pug puppy’s pattern & tutorial (my previous post), suddenly Freddy the Felt Fox appears in my mind, it just popped up without any warning. Seems like it was beckoning that I need to get another fox design develope soon. More than a week later, and after lots of unraveling of yarns, this Fox Amigurumi named Furu was done and I really love how it has turned out. I added a doll’s wired glasses and it immediately resembled the look of a cool academician. Therefore, I gave it the name Furu, F from fox, URU from “guru” (which means teacher).
I always have this wonderful chain of thought of “what’s next” to create while working on the existing craft. At times the new idea really carried me away from the current work-in-progress. I need to work on the new craft design (before the inspiration vanished from my brain) as soon as I completed the current craft. For this reason, processing and compiling all the info and updating of new pattern & tutorial at Craft Passion was adjourned, opppsss… I need more hands to be more consistent in updating. HELP!
Happy crochet and hope to see your Mr. Furu Fox Amigurumi soon.
XOXO~
I’m working on the furu fox, and I’m just learning the ssc stitches, but the only thing I’m having a problem with, is where is has (ssc 3, inc)does that mean to increase with the ssc, or a regular sc?
Yes, the “inc” is increment with ssc stitch, in other words, it is 2ssc in a stitch.
Really nice pattern I’m almost done <3 I was wondering, for the head it says :
R13 – R17: sc around. {48}
do you really mean sc or you mean ssc and there's a little mistake in the pattern ?? Because I'm looking at mine compare yours and it looks more like ssc, we really can see the difference between ssc and sc on my head !
Yes, it should be ssc around, thanks for pointing out the error, I have got it corrected. Sorry if you made the head with the wrong instruction.
merci beaucoup pour le partage. le renard est tres beau.

Thank you so much for sharing. the fox is very beautiful.
Love this pattern but what weight is the yarn. I tried worsted 4 ply with 3.5 hook & his head was almost 7″.
It is similar to light worsted yarn or sport yarn. The head vertical height of my Mr. Furu is about 4.5″ tall. Please remember to use SSC stitch to crochet this amigurumi, the normal sc stitch won’t work for this pattern.
When there are brackets would I just do the follwing stitches in ssc?
Hi Alice, can you show me which instruction are you referring to? Just want to make sure before I answer your question correctly. Thank you.
Love the fox and the new stitches look awesome. I am also very impressed with your willingness to be so helpful. I started with Sharon from Amigurumi she like you care so much for us followers and make crocheting fun and easier than some others out there. .she posted this fox of yours.
Thank you so much, Sandi, for loving it and sharing in your network.

Hi, could I have the pattern in Spanish?
I had never heard of the split stitch, but now I’m eager to try it and make your Mr. Furu! Thank you so much for the free pattern.
I’m teaching 2 little girls to crochet, do you have, or can you recommend any simple amigurumi for them? We are still working on single crochet, but I think they would love to make something other than pot holders!
Glad that you love Mr. Furu 🙂
You may try some simpler amigurumi patterns in the Toy | Amigurumi category. To be particular, the following patterns are suitable for beginners to try on:
1. Hen & Chicks
2. Big Apple
3. Owl
4. Polar Bear
5. Piggy Buns
6. Baby Chick
7. Koala
Furu is adorable! And, I really like how that split single crochet stitch looks. I’ve never tried it before, but I think I need to practice it (probably on a washcloth) so I can make a Furu for myself. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations!
Hi Cindy G, Glad that you would try on your first ssc on Mr. Furu. Would love to see how it turns out after you have it completed.
