With that said, we’re so excited to introduce our latest addition to the Lia Griffith felt animal collection: this Handmade Felt White Arctic Fox! With its pristine fur and clever eyes, this charming little kit captures all the fun and whimsy of winter.

Become a MemberThis felt arctic fox is an intermediate-level project and would make a delightful challenge for our more seasoned crafters. Also, this project might be a fun opportunity for beginners to try something new. Once you're ready to begin, take a look over to the right for our list of tools and materials.
Stitches used: blanket, whip, back, and ladder stitch
Inspired by the resilient Arctic foxes that thrive in frigid climates, our felt creation pays homage to these creatures' adaptability and charm. The real Arctic fox boasts a beautiful white coat, providing excellent camouflage in the snowy landscapes they call home. We stuck to a stark winter palette of antique white and black to create our foxy friend. However, there's an opportunity for customization with your fox's jaunty winter scarf. We chose a chilly shade of blue, but feel free to match it to your decor or preference.
There's such joy and warmth in crafting during the holidays and creating a little token of the season's magic with your own two hands! Once you bring your adorable felt arctic fox to life, you'll have a cuddly companion to grace your winter decor or gift to anyone needing a snuggly friend. When you're all finished, share your new pal with our crafters' community or tag us on Instagram with #MadeWithLia — let's celebrate the winter wonder together!

Adding 8 extra tails will make an arctic Kitsune! (Nine tailed fox spirits from Japanese folklore!) I suggest attaching the tails while the plush is stuffed (makes it easier for me at least)
That is clever!
Corgis look a lot like foxes. Reduce the tail to a stump and shorten the legs, and what you have left is a white Pembroke corgi. Everyone loves corgis–especially those who live with one. You could make the ears in tan felt and add some tan and black applique (or fabric paint) to make a tri-color corgi.
That is a great idea! Two people on our team have a corgi!
