The pattern is mostly mine except for the ears. I wanted to see how ears work first before attempting to make one up myself. The number in parenthesis is how many stitches you should have in the row.

Materials:
3.5 mm Crochet Hook
4 ply yarn (I picked gray for the body, creamish color for the face and black for the ears and feet.)
Stich marker (I used a bobby pin.)
Sutffing
Black Felt
White Felt
Scissors
Super Glue
Instructions:
Body
Hint: Start with the cream color for the face
R1: Create a magic circle (6) (Now, each row will be in the round.)
R2: *Sc, Inc* til end of row (9)
R3: *Sc, Sc, Inc* til end of row (12)
R4: *Sc, Sc, Inc* til end of row (16)
R5: *Sc, Sc, Sc, Inc* till end of row (20)
Incorporate the black yarn only for the ear part. Otherwise, continue to use the creamish color for the rest of this row.
R6**: 7 sc, (sc into front loop of st above eye, ch 3, skip 1st ch, 2 sc [down chain], sc into f.l. next head st of rnd; turn [work up ear], sc, sl st; turn [work down ear], sl st, sl st into f.l. of next head st) 3 sl st in f.l. of next 3 sts in round; repeat parentheses once, 7 sc
**R6 is where I made the ears. I used the ear pattern from Falwyn's fox pattern (Click here for pattern.) She also has a video tutorial on how to do the ears on her blog as well.
Switch to the gray color.

Super glue the paws onto the body.
