Add a fox chocolate orange cover to Sarah Neal's winter knitting pattern collection

This week, we're adding a delightfully festive fox to our collection. He’s holding a sprig of mistletoe and has a perfectly colour co-ordinated scarf. There’s some stranded colourwork involved on his chest, head and ears so read our info panel to help with this technique. We also show you how to work French knots. This charming design will bring a touch of whimsical woodland magic to your treats and really ups your Christmas wrapping game. Download this Christmas knitting pattern today.

Double-pointed needles are only required for i-cord
