Introduction

Meet the Baby Fennec Fox Boba Barista—a petite café cutie with oversized ears, a pastel-pink visor, a mint apron-dress, a straw-tone crossbody coin pouch, two mini boba cups, and a tiny “MENU” board. This pattern is drafted directly from the photo so your finished amigurumi will match the look precisely: same head-to-body proportions, eye spacing, ear angle, and accessory shapes.

The instructions below include exact stitch counts and assembly placements to lock in the recognizable, photo-accurate expression.

Assembly

Face & Head

1. Pin muzzle centered between eyes so its top edge just kisses the lower eye rims; ladder-stitch ¾, insert a pinch of stuffing, close.
2. Lock safety eyes firmly.
3. Add blush with thread or pastel on the cheeks.
4. Attach ears: Place flattened ears with bases spanning Rnds 4–7 from the top; tilt 10–15° back; sew securely along base curve. The inner-ridge strip should face forward.

Body & Limbs

1. Legs: Sew to the body base at the front, 2–3 sts apart; ensure they are level for standing. Add sole weights if desired.
2. Tail nub: Sew at back-center base to act as a third support point.
3. Arms: Attach at Rnds 14–15; angle the left arm slightly forward (to hold a cup). The right arm hangs relaxed.

Dress-Up & Final Join

1. Slide on the apron-dress; check that the waistband sits at mid-body and the skirt hem matches photo length. Secure shoulder straps to the bodice front.
2. Join head to body with the long body tail; position head with a slight downward nod for the cute expression. Add stuffing to the neck cavity as you close.
3. Visor: Place so the brim frames the eyes, covering about ½ row above the eyes. Add 2–3 hidden stitches behind the ears to keep angle.
4. Coin pouch: Drape strap from right shoulder to left hip; stitch both ends to the dress/body.
5. Props: Tack a boba cup into the left hand (and optionally to the body). Place the second cup and MENU board near the feet for display, or stitch lightly to a removable base.

Finishing Touches / Tips

• Expression lock-in: Maintain 12-st eye spacing and keep the muzzle’s top touching eye bottoms—it guarantees the same baby face.
• Fabric density: If you see stuffing, drop to a 3.25 mm hook. Dense fabric makes the cheeks round and the ear edges crisp.
• Ear shaping: After sewing, pinch the lower third to create a soft concavity; add one tack stitch if needed.
• Visor curve: Hover steam (don’t touch the iron) and press with your palm to set the brim curve.
• Cup realism: Use FLO/BLO transitions to give the cup a distinct lip; keep pearls in the lower half.
• Child safety: For under-3s, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes; secure all small props firmly.
• Palette swaps for US audience: taro-purple cup, matcha-green cup, or strawberry-pink cup; visor colorways for holidays (peppermint stripe straw at Christmas, pumpkin-orange visor in fall).
