February is almost here and always has me thinking about spring! Miss Flora the Fox here is bringing me all the joy of fun bright colors while I wait for more sunshine.
The ears and the tail are my favorite detail! And you bet she is made with the legs, body and head as one piece. She was such a fun project that I think she needs some more forest friends to join the blog in the future!
If you're new to amigurumi head over here for some tips and tricks to help along the way. She's a great beginner pattern with easy sewing.
