About This Mr. Fox and Tree Stump House Amigurumi Pattern

This comprehensive pattern brings together the magic of amigurumi character design with functional home décor in an absolutely charming way. Mr. Fox is meticulously crafted with detailed features including a sweet muzzle, perky ears, and a fluffy tail, all dressed up in his handmade jacket, hat with pom-pom, and messenger bag. His tree stump house is equally impressive, featuring a removable roof with tree rings, decorative windows with copper frames, a welcoming red door, adorable mushrooms, flowers, and even a personalized sign.

The pattern uses size 10 thread and a tiny 1.5mm hook to create miniature perfection with incredible detail. Both projects work together to create a complete woodland display that captures imagination and showcases advanced crochet skills.

Why You'll Love This Mr. Fox and Tree Stump House Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern challenges you to work with fine thread and tiny details while creating something truly magical and displayable. The satisfaction of seeing Mr. Fox come together with his coordinated outfit and accessories is incredibly rewarding, and building his little tree stump home with all its charming imperfections feels like creating a real woodland cottage. I appreciate how the pattern encourages embracing those little irregularities that make handmade pieces special, and the combination of amigurumi techniques with structural elements like the double-walled house keeps the project engaging from start to finish.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color variations for this pattern to create different seasonal versions of Mr. Fox and his home. Try making a winter fox with white and blue tones, adding tiny snowflakes to the tree stump and a cozy scarf instead of the messenger bag.

For a festive touch, I've created an autumn version using burnt orange, deep reds, and golden yellows, decorating the house with tiny pumpkins instead of mushrooms and adding fall leaves around the base.

You could also personalize the door sign with different names or messages, turning this into a truly custom gift. I've made versions that say 'Welcome,' family names, or even holiday greetings.

The mushrooms can be replaced with other woodland elements like tiny toadstools in bright colors, acorns, or even small stone-like beads for a different aesthetic.

Consider adding LED tea lights inside the tree stump house by creating a small opening in the back - this creates a magical glowing effect perfect for nighttime display.

For advanced crocheters, try adding windows that actually open by creating tiny hinges with thread, or make the door functional with a small wire mechanism.

I've also experimented with making multiple foxes in different outfits - imagine a whole fox family with different accessories and clothing styles living in and around the tree house.

The pattern works beautifully as a centerpiece for fairy garden displays, so consider creating additional elements like tiny benches, a garden path, or a small pond to build an entire miniature woodland scene.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to stuff the head firmly enough before closing, resulting in a floppy or misshapen fox face that cannot support the features properly ✗ Not working tightly enough in Round 1 of the arms, causing gaps and holes that show stuffing and look unprofessional on the finished piece ✗ Skipping the plastic reinforcement between the tree stump walls, which causes the house structure to collapse or become wobbly and unstable over time ✗ Placing the fox's muzzle too high or too low on the head, throwing off the entire facial proportion and making the character look unbalanced ✗ Not checking that the roof fits snugly before fastening off, resulting in a lid that either falls off easily or won't fit onto the house at all

Infos :

Make 2 circles. After you make the first one, fasten off and weave in the ends. NOTE: The second circle will be used for the top. An option is to add tree rings. You can do it two ways - one is to crochet in the BLO of all the rounds and the other is to use the back stitch and sew them after you finish the second ring but before attaching the top part to the bottom. I chose to sew them. Instructions are on the next page. Join rounds with a slip stitch

Round 14 :

Infos :

NOTE: The roof needs to fit snug. If it doesn't seem big enough, add another round of increase (Round 15: (13 sc, inc) x 8 - 120 sts) and then it would be Round 16 where you sl st to connect the top and bottom (next page). Fasten off and weave in the ends of the first ring. Trace it on a piece of plastic or cardboard and cut it out. This will be inserted between the top and bottom later. The instructions for the second circle are on the next page. Do not fasten off. If you have decided to sew the rings using the back stitch, you need to do so now before crocheting the top and bottom together. I sewed rings in every space between rounds. You can choose to do every other space. When finished, hold both pieces together WS of both facing in and the RS of both facing out. The top piece (the one with the rings) will be at the bottom while crocheting. Crochet in the BLO of the tree ring piece and in the FLO of the other piece. When halfway through, place the plastic piece inside and continue

Round 15 :

sl st in 111 stitches

Info :

When you have 1 stitch left, ch 5. Crochet in the back bump of the chain. 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and 1 sc in next 3 chains. The roof (lid) should fit snug on the trunk.

Assembly Instructions

  • Muzzle: Sew the top (where hdc and dc were worked) between Rounds 5-6 and the bottom between Rounds 11-12. Stuff firmly before finishing, then create a small triangle above using the tail by sewing only the dc stitches
  • Nose: Create a small triangle with black thread and fill it completely by sewing back and forth until solid
  • Ears: Attach at an angle with the top sewn between Rounds 2-3 and bottom between Rounds 6-7. If ears lean forward, pull them back by stitching through the round above the attachment point
  • Tail: Close the opening by sewing across, then attach to the back of the body approximately 3 spaces above the legs
  • Chest: Using Natural color, work 3 cross stitches on Round 14 of the body and 1 cross stitch on Round 15
  • Hat Assembly: Sew only the first 2 rows of back and front pieces together on both sides, then sew only the top rows together. The holes left should fit the ears. Sew brim around and attach pom-pom on top
  • Tree House Door: Sew the bottom of the door to the front loops at the bottom of the tree stump
  • Windows and Decorations: Sew windows about 5 stitches apart on each side of door, 2-3 rounds below the top. Add mushrooms at the back on different rounds, sew flower stems and glue flowers on top, then add grass pieces around the base

Important Notes

  • 💡This pattern uses very fine thread (size 10) and a tiny 1.5mm hook, requiring patience and good lighting for detailed work
  • 💡The tree stump house requires structural support - don't skip the yogurt container plastic pieces or the house will collapse
  • 💡Work tightly, especially on the first round of the arms and when crocheting the double walls of the house
  • 💡Embrace imperfections in the tree house décor as they add to the charming, handmade woodland aesthetic
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before final sewing to ensure proper positioning and proportion
  • 💡The 3mm eyes look better than 4mm for this small scale - test fit before permanently attaching
  • 💡Make sure spaces for arms and legs align properly or the fox won't sit or stand correctly

FAQs

Can I use regular yarn instead of size 10 thread?

While you can adapt this pattern to regular yarn with a larger hook, the final result will be significantly bigger and may lose some of the delicate detail that makes this pattern special. If you do substitute, use a tight gauge and adjust your hook size accordingly.

Is the tree stump house sturdy enough to play with?

Yes, if you follow the instructions carefully and include all the plastic reinforcements. The double-wall construction with yogurt container supports makes it quite sturdy. However, it's best suited as a display piece rather than a toy for very young children.

Do I have to make both the fox and the house?

No, these are two separate patterns that work together. You can make just Mr. Fox as a standalone amigurumi character, or create the tree stump house on its own as a decorative storage container or display piece.

How do I keep track of rounds when working in spiral?

Use a stitch marker or contrasting thread to mark the first stitch of each round. Move the marker up as you complete each round to avoid losing your place, especially important when working with fine thread.

Can I modify the fox's clothing and accessories?

Absolutely! The jacket, hat, and bag are separate pieces that can be customized. Try different colors, add embellishments, or create entirely new outfits. Just ensure new pieces fit the scale of the tiny fox body.

What's the best way to add the tree rings to the roof?

The pattern suggests either crocheting in back loops only for each round or using backstitch embroidery after completing the circle. The backstitch method gives you more control over spacing and appearance.
