Notes

After the long legged fox was a huge hit with Leo, decided to have some fun with this pattern and make him a cyclops monster using the fox as the base pattern. Using a 4 weight yarn (made fox with 3, sugarwheel cotton) He is 17” tall before adding the curved horns which add an additional 2” making this a decent doll size.

Legs make 2, crochet around size 3 pink foam hair roller.
6 sc in mr. Increase ea st on 2nd round to 12 st and then continue with 12 up legs.
Starting with bright / print
6 rounds bright
2 rounds citrus / green
4 rounds bright

Continue with changing colors @ 4 & 3 rows stopping after last 4 rounds of bright/ row 40. Bent foam rollers inward at top of legs and taped together at the bottom of body space created by chains between legs.

Body https://amigurumi.today/long-legged-amigurumi-toys-free-c...

Body made like long legged fox. Before stuffing body, inserted large foam roller in body and into neck and head for support.
Did not finish off and continued on with neck, making head in reverse and finishing off at top of head so that body and head are one piece.

Foam rollers

Use 2 pieces of duct tape. over top of plastic cap and then around side on both top and bottom of rollers to secure wire inside from slipping out. Arm rollers needed to be cut shorter to fit. Used a pair of needle nose pliers to curl inside wire and replace plastic cap.
