Clever Fox Sweater

This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene. I love the imagery of a determined little fox. And when my boys were small they were most certainly determined about things like snacks, story time and the idea that they absolutely, definitely, 100% did not need to wear a coat no matter what I said about the weather. If the little ones in your life are just as determined about coat-wearing, perhaps you can be the clever one and talk them into a sweater, instead?
