There is an epic battle going on in the crochet animal kingdom.
For the last few years, owls have reigned as the most popular animal for crochet patterns. You’ve seen them on baby hats, pillows, afghans and more. They’re adorable, have a simple shape, and they simply don’t give a hoot. But a rising star is challenging the owl’s prominence in crochet patterns: the fox.
Foxes are sneaking their way to the top (in true fox style) with their bright eye-grabbing color and cute pointy faces. Just like the owl, they match fall decor awesomely. We’re seeing fox baby hats galore!
It’s time to decide: Are foxes going for the crown? Or is there room for two top crochet animals? Check out our favorite fox and owl patterns, and make your decision on which critter is best. Then, vote below! We’ll close the poll Tuesday, September 23.

Owls, because they are mysterious and they look cute
I simply love them!
I love owls. I had a collection of small owls that my father picked up when he was a trucker. I lost them all in a flood. I hope to make some owls to sit around my new home.
BTW…I like the foxes too. 😉
Although I like the workmanship of the foxes, they are all the same color. The owls can be done in many different colors and still look cute. I can’t say that this is the cutest owl pattern.
Would love to make the owl cozy for my 2 great grand daughters. One has owls hand painted on bedroom wall.
BOTH!!!!!
Owls forever!
Foxes!
It’s all in the name 🙂
Owls all day
