Crochet Wall Hanging Pattern - Baby Fox Nursery Decor: Pattern Overview

Project introduction

This is a pattern overview, not a complete crochet tutorial. Little Crochet Farm designed this baby fox wall hanging as a colorful, flat tapestry with separate crocheted features. The web pattern is available free, and its creator also offers an ad-free PDF with detailed instructions and a photo tutorial. For the complete chart and the designer’s directions, start with the Original designer’s pattern and instructions.

The project combines colorwork with small shaped pieces, then brings them together as a hanging. The notes below help you understand the materials, gauge, chart approach, and finishing plan before you visit the original pattern. Follow Little Crochet Farm’s source for the full instructions, especially for the chart and the less common stitches used on the tail.

Crochet Fox Wall Hanging Pattern Overview

The fox is formed on a crocheted tapestry, with separate ears, a snout, and a tail attached afterward. Color changes give the animal its distinctive appearance, while the wooden sticks provide the finished piece with its wall-hanging format. It is a compact project, but the charted colorwork and separate components make it useful to review the construction plan before beginning.

The main panel is worked from a chart, while the smaller parts are crocheted separately and sewn in place. Little Crochet Farm’s instructions include exact chart and component directions; this overview intentionally summarizes the design rather than restating those steps. Keep the original pattern open as your reference for interpreting chart rows and finishing details.

List of Materials

Gather the items named in the source before starting. The designer’s sample yarn is Mondial Merino, while the yarn choice is otherwise described as DK. White yarn is also specified for the chart. The source does not give yarn quantities, so use its linked pattern for any further material details rather than estimating from this overview.

• A 3 mm crochet hook, the metric size specified by the designer.
• DK yarn in light pink, red, beige, and brown, with white yarn for the chart. The sample uses Mondial Merino.
• A sewing needle and scissors.
• A little hypoallergenic polyester stuffing.
• Two round wooden sticks, each 38 cm (15 inches) long.

No stitch marker is included in the source’s materials list. A sewing needle is listed for assembly. The source uses both “light” yarn wording for the finished project and DK yarn in its materials and gauge notes; consult the designer’s page if you need clarification about yarn selection.

Finish size

The finished hanging is approximately 30 cm wide by 38 cm long (11.5 inches by 15 inches), using the 3 mm hook and the light yarn described in the source. Treat this as an approximate finished measurement, not a guaranteed size. Yarn, tension, and individual technique can affect a crocheted piece, so use the designer’s pattern as the project reference.

Gauge

Little Crochet Farm gives a gauge of 20 single crochet stitches and 23 rows in a 4 by 4 inch (10 cm by 10 cm) square, using DK-weight Merino yarn and a 3 mm hook. Gauge is especially useful to check when matching the stated finished size matters. The pattern source is the place to consult for any gauge instructions beyond this overview.

Construction Overview for the Chart

The main tapestry follows a chart read from left to right. Odd-numbered rows represent the right side, and even-numbered rows represent the wrong side. The source calls for turning after each row and chaining 1 before beginning the next. Its colorwork notes specify two separate light pink skeins for rows 5 through 75.

For red and brown sections, the designer allows either separate skeins or carrying the strands beneath the work. On even rows, color changes involve bringing the yarn to the front. These details can affect how the back of the fabric looks, so refer to the original chart notes while working rather than relying on this brief summary.

Save it for later!

Bookmark the designer’s pattern page or save it to a crochet reference board so the chart and finishing information are easy to find when you are ready to work. This article is an overview only; the source page contains the instructions needed to make the project.

Fox Wall Hanging Construction Overview

The design has two ears, one snout, and one tail, all made separately from the charted panel. The ears and snout use brown yarn, with red added to the ears. The tail moves through brown, beige, and red sections. The original directions also describe special colorwork stitches in the tail, so use the linked pattern for their exact placement and execution.

Ears

Make two matching ears. Each begins with brown yarn and changes to red as the piece widens, ending with a plain round. The source describes folding each ear in half and sewing it closed, with a yarn tail left for attaching it to the tapestry. Beige embroidered lines are part of the final ear detail.

Snout

The snout is a small, rounded component worked in brown yarn. Its source directions shape it outward from a magic ring, add a plain final round, and leave a tail for sewing. This overview does not reproduce the round-by-round counts; follow Little Crochet Farm’s pattern for the precise shaping and assembly placement.

Tail

The tail starts in brown, changes to beige, and then continues in red. Its shape expands and later narrows, with the source adding stitches that reach into lower rounds in the beige and red colorwork sections. The finishing note says to fold the tail in half, using the pointed edge formed by the fold to establish its direction when sewing it onto the hanging. Refer to the original instructions for exact rounds and stitch placement.

Wall Hanging Chart

The chart section starts with white yarn and a chain of 61, with the first chain skipped before beginning. The chart itself is essential for the fox motif and its color changes. Use the designer’s original chart and row notes for the full design; this overview does not provide a replacement chart or row-by-row directions.

Final Details

The source places the ears at rows 71 to 76, the snout at rows 45 to 50, and the tail at rows 16 to 20. It also calls for beige straight-line embroidery inside the ears. Once the features are attached, sew the tapestry onto the wooden sticks. Check the original instructions for the full assembly guidance.

Congratulations!
