Esme the Fox

Esme the Fox is one of the oldest and most loved members of Kerry Lord's animal menagerie and for more than ten years she has been a popular choice for fans of woodland wildlife in the UK and around the world. These fascinating wild animals are abundant in the UK countryside and also thrive in more urban landscapes, where they make the most of the wide availability of food and shelter. This crochet pattern is a great way to level up your skills if you are a beginner looking to challenge your colour changing technique. This pattern has been revised since the first edition of Edward's Menagerie. This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you've finished crocheting Esme the Fox, you'll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby! TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern.
