Rudy the Fox Free Crochet Pattern

If you have enjoyed crocheting my cute Coco the Rabbit and Zelda the Zebra, you should not miss the fun project I'll be sharing today.

A lovely Fox, named Rudy, is the new character based on the same design...a chubby figure and a nice and soft scarf.

I made the infinity scarf with the Tunisian technique that allows you to obtain a wonderful knit-like look! Have you ever tried the Tunisian Simple Stitch?

Here on the blog you'll find the written instructions on how to work the scarf, but if you are new to this technique you can find many explanatory step-by-step pictures on the PDF version listed on my Etsy page.

3. Insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over (wrap the yarn over your hook) and pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook. (This adds one loop onto your hook)

Repeat steps 3 for each chain across. When you are done you should have 5 loops on your hook.

Now let’s finish this row of Tunisian simple stitches by working in the other direction.

4. Yarn over (wrap yarn over your hook), pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook. (There should still be 5 loops on your hook)

5. Yarn over (wrap yarn over your hook), pull the strand of yarn through the next 2 loops on your hook. (There should now be 1 less loop on your hook)

Pull the strand of yarn through the first loop on your hook (This adds one loop onto your hook).

Do the same for each stitch across. When you are done you should have 5 loops on your hook.

Rep 3-6 until you reach a total of 90 rows. Once you have completed the last row, ch1, turn and then work one extra row of sc stitches, F/O and leave a long strand of yarn to sew the first and the last rows together.
