Free pattern: Felted fox pillow

Nicole from The Felted Fox made this felt fox pillow was made as a special gift for a child. Actually, she made two of them – one for each of her cousin’s two daughters who live in Norway, where you can find red foxes like the one she put on the pillows. The fox is printed on to felt using a freezer paper stencil method. The stylized fox is done as a line drawing, with red hearts for accents. She shares the tutorial and the pattern she used to create the stencil.
