Fox
Fox charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 24 by 23 motif made for playful kids' blankets, nursery pieces, and animal-lover gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
Work the fox in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the fox when you want a baby gift. It looks at home on a soft-toy-themed throw and a playful kids' blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a pet owner, the fox suits a get-well gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.0-by-5.8-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
