BOW TIE

Detail 2 (knot):

JOINING:

• Attach the ears between Rnds 2 and 6 of the head.
• Attach the muzzle between Rnds 10 and 16 (or as you wish).
• Attach the eye-patches right above the muzzle.
• Attach the arms between Rnds 15 and 16 of the body.
• Stitch the fox with vertical stitches in off-white (front part of the ears and the tummy. I tried to stitch the muzzle as well, but it was too much) and orange (the back of the ears, the tail and the terracotta part of the body). One stitch should be 1 or 2 sc tall.

 

Embroider the eyes with the French Knots, and the nose and mouth with the Satin Stitch.

Sew the knot of the tie to the main detail and sew the tie to Rnd 18 of the body.

Or you can simplify the fox omitting the black details and most of the colour changes, and get a cute Foxy too.
