Fox Chocolate Orange Cosy and Knitting Pattern

Description

The Fox Chocolate Orange Cosy is one of those projects that makes people smile the moment they see him. He has that charming cartoon style that feels friendly and full of character, with his bright ears, neat little paws and that lovely bushy tail. He fits perfectly over the new size Terry’s Chocolate Orange, which is a touch smaller than the older ones, and he sits snugly around it as if he was made for it. He’s knitted flat on two needles in DK yarn, so he’s a gentle, relaxing knit that suits beginners and experienced knitters alike.

He’s especially lovely as an autumn project. The sample is knitted in Stylecraft Special DK Spice, which is such a warm, autumnal shade, full of cosy woodland colour. It gives him that russet fox look that feels right for September, October and November. But he can also be knitted in white if you’d prefer an arctic fox. The pattern adapts beautifully, and the character still shines through no matter which colour you choose.

People love gifting cosies like these because he has personality. He’s the kind of design that gets picked up, admired and talked about. He makes a perfect little present for teachers, neighbours, friends and family, and he’s ideal for craft fairs and charity tables. Children adore him, adults smile at him, and knitters enjoy making him because he’s quick, cheerful and satisfying.

If you’re looking for a project that brings joy, this little fox does exactly that. He’s fun to knit, lovely to give and guaranteed to be loved. Add him to your needles and make someone’s day a little more cosy.

This little chap is proof that chocolate tastes better with a bit of foxiness.
