Young Flamsie, a new realistic fox pattern

I’m delighted to introduce you to my new little fox amigurumi, sitting in a fairy tale world. Meet Young Flamsie!

After finishing my last pattern, I originally planned to design something entirely different. However, Tippy’s face-shaping technique intrigued me, I wondered how it would translate to a fox head. When creating Flamsie, I struggled to balance those foxy cheeks with symmetrical colour lining. Without overthinking, I experimented with a new fox face design. To my surprise, everything clicked! The revised shaping widened the cheeks beautifully, and after a few tweaks, the light-coloured chin and cheek placement worked perfectly. Now that I’d reached this point, I decided to create a new crochet fox pattern.

The message from an Etsy crafter came to mind; she’d shared an image of an AI wolf and asked if I could craft something similar. We both loved the idea of that non-existent doll, and while I agreed to try, I wasn’t sure when. With this adorable fox head on my desk, I realized I could adapt the concept using a fox instead of a wolf. I couldn’t simply recreate the AI design, I’m too critical for that, and I had my own ideas about blending styles. So I set to work, crafting a version similar to Flamsie but stockier and more youthful.

This fox amigurumi features a slightly larger head, shorter body, and front paws, giving it a cub-like appearance. I also simplified a few elements to make this version even easier than Flamsie. Some crafters found attaching the front legs tricky, so I added extra photos to clarify that step.

Though I considered replacing Flamsie with this version, rest assured, Flamsie remains too popular to retire! Instead, I named this one Young Flamsie, letting you choose which design to make.
