Wrap this foxy friend around your neck and they will help you stay warm while keeping you company on your daily travels. My Clever Companion is reminiscent of the fox fur neck pieces in vintage clothing, but so much friendlier that you might leave him on even after you take off your coat. There is even a small hidden pocket, just the right size for your metro card or some money for lunch! He (or she) is perfect for offering advice on a city shopping trip, or whispering secrets to on a woodland hike.

Completely adjustable as to size, the actual yardage is 160 - 200 yards of aran weight yarn in Main Color (Orange), and 25 - 30 yards of Contrast Color (white) depending on size, plus a little scrap for his nose.

Pattern contains instructions for customizing the size, complete explanation of the 2 simple crochet stitches used to create the pocket, and a photo tutorial for picking up the stitches to create the ears.
