 DEER-FOX TWIG
Materials:
Yarn 55% cotton, 45% acrylic yarn ( 50g/160m/174yards),
Stuffing ( hollowfiber),
Crochet hook # 2,
Scissors, a large eye blunt end needle (knitting) for joining details, a long needle for
joining,
Buttons (d=1,5 sm=0,39 inch) and strong cotton thread for attaching legs.
Symbols:
MR – magic ring/amigurumi ring
sc – single crochet
ch- chain
sl st – slip stitch
inc – increase
dec – decrease
… - repeat to the end of the row
Crochet all details in the spiral, without lifting chains. Use a stitch marker or a contrast
yarn to mark the beginning of the row. I make “invisible” decreasing (in front walls of
a loop). As a detail gets bigger, stuff it with hollowfiber.

Stuff the head while crocheting. I start to stuff after I start to work decreasing. The
head should be stuffed tightly.
