Think outside the fox
If you couldn't tell, we love foxes! We have made a few different felt foxes over the years, but this felt red fox is our first standing version. And it fits in perfectly with all of the other woodland animal stuffies that Krista has designed. Due to its construction, this is a great intermediate felt project. So if you're looking for more of a beginner project, you may want to try this felt fox stuffie instead.

We love helping you get creative! Our felt red fox would make a great handmade gift for kids — or anyone who loves foxes. If you are making this at home with little ones around, they can join in on the fun by crafting our pom-pom fox pals, this simple felt fox cup cozy, or a felt pinecone fox.
Crafting tip: For a more wintery version of this felt red fox, you could use white or gray felt instead to make an arctic fox.

How to Make a Felt Red Fox
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the fox pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
- Cut out felt according to pattern using a Cricut Maker (optional) or scissors.
- Sew the legs to the underside piece using two strands of white embroidery floss and a whip stitch, working from what will be the inside of the legs. Match and follow the curve of the leg openings, and ensure that the legs are facing the right way.
- Repeat this step for all of the legs.

Leave a CommentI can’t find the full tutorial for the fox. Is it supposted to be a video tutorial?
Hello Kelli! There is a button for the photo tutorial in the right column. It is our older version which is a JPG rather than a PDF.
The felt in the picture looks red, but the Oakwood felt looks very much brown through my computer screen. Is the Oakwood felt specifically what was used in the pictured fox? Thanks so much!
It is. The photos may be a bit off. I try to keep an eye on that when I photograph, but sometimes, the light just throws things off a bit.
Do you have to pay to join to download the felt patterns?
Yes, we are a membership site that offers these gorgeous projects for a super low cost.
Are your felt animals sewn by hand or machine? You have the cutest animals and I would like to try them. I know I have to become a member. Thanks!
Hi Teresa! They are all sewn by hand! We hope you become a member and try them out 🙂
Hi again. Thank you for providing the size. These animals are for a mobile and I noticed on another page you spoke about downsizing them. Am I right in thinking that you could do this through print settings and changing 100% to whichever smaller percentage you needed e.g 70%. Would everything be scaled so the animal still looked correct? Thank you!
Yes, you can print at a lower percentage to downsize and everything should all fit together for each project. Your project sounds adorable!
Hello. How tall and wide is this once made? How do you find the size of the other woodland stuffies?
He is about 4-5 inches tall depending on where you are measuring. You can look at the PDF file and measure height there, knowing you will lose a little with the sewing.
Hello Lia can I please ask is this pattern made by delilahIris as I bought an identical pattern there a few years ago and its identical 🙂 does she designs the patterns for you 🙂
No, it’s not. We design all of our own patterns. When it comes to creating animal stuffies, there are going to be some similarities in the construction because we are designing them based on real animals and want them to look as realistic as possible; however if you look closely, the pattern is not identical. We used our wolf pattern (which you can find here: https://liagriffith.com/felt-wolf/) to create this fox and made tweaks to make it look more like a fox.
