Francois the backpacking fox is the Wooble that everyone wants to get their hands on. Or should we say - everyone wants to get their hands to make. He's by far the most adventurous of the Woobles - both in spirit and in skill.
Since it takes a bit of oomph to make Francois, start with his wee lil' Wooble friend - a Weeble, as we so affectionately call them - Felix.

Customer Reviews
Full disclosure...I haven't made the backpack yet but I thought this kit was so adorable and that sent it over the top. Both foxes are great for practicing/learning color changes and tiny embellishments. I feel like the patterns on the intermediate fox makes it much easier to see that sometimes my rows must have shifted slightly but I enjoyed the process and the end results are adored for the kids they were made for.
Felix the fox was my first attempt at crocheting. I loved how simple the instructions were and that I was able to learn a few different stitches. After completing Felix the fox I felt ready to move on to Francois the fox, and even though there were new techniques I had to learn, and it was a more difficult pattern I am very happy with the result!
Had so much fun learning and improving my crochet with these kits!!
LOVED!
Oh how we love this adorable fox. My daughter made one and I am working on one now. If you are thinking of trying a Woobles pattern, please do! They are so much fun (and addictive). We've bought the little bunny, the fox, the big bunny, and the big bear. We have also made the free penguin pattern!
