Xaver the Bavarian Fox, knitting pattern

Xaver the Fox lives in Bavaria, the beautiful southern part of Germany. His sense of tradition is very strong, so you will rarely see him without his trademark jacket and the hat with the gamsbart. Sometimes you can spot him in the forests explaining the plants and animals to his young nephew Alois. Xaver loves these strolls, but even more he loves the beer gardens – after a long days walk, he enjoys a wheat beer and a pretzel more than anything else in the world!

**With the purchase of the Xaver pattern, you will get the pattern for the small fox Alois for free.***

More information:
Xaver will need some time to finish, but because you need only basic technical skills, he is suitable for beginners with some patience. Xaver can be worked completely flat, but I threw in the instruction for the limbs and tail to work in the round.

Choose any yarn you like or have left over – Xaver will be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn. If you knit Xaver for a child, make sure the yarn is robust, washable and doesn’t pill too much.
The pattern will lead you step-by-step through the knitting and sewing, including loads of detail photos and charts. Additionally, you’ll find instructions for the more elaborate techniques used like intarsia.

Happy knittin whishes
