Meet the adorable fox baby!! Newborn props are always fun to make, because it is a creative way to add items to a newborn photo-shoot without having to have large props and the Fox Baby is no exception. I don't know what it is about woodlands animals but they are just adorable and when you make them with yarn and a crochet hook, they get just a little more adorable, if that is even possible! Newborn crochet props are a creative way to create a themed photo-shoot on the small side, you can always add larger props to bring the newborn photo-shoot together. The beauty of crochet is even with a small newborn prop, it can capture a theme. The Fox Baby would be adorable for a little girl or boy!
