Introduction
Say hello to the Skatepark Fox—a street-style amigurumi with a red beanie, black-and-cream checkerboard hoodie (with a real front kangaroo pocket), light gray jogger pants with cuffed hems, white-lace high-top sneakers, a slim brown sling bag, and a mini skateboard prop. The fox body is burnt orange with a cream muzzle and white tail tip; ears are orange with cream inner panels and dark brown rims. All proportions, colors, and placements below are written to match the photo exactly.
Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
