Magic Ring:
A few inches from the end of the yarn, wrap two loops over your finger. While the loops still on your finger, insert the hook from right to left into the loops and pull the working yarnthrough.
Carefully take the loops off your fingers and chain one. This doesn't count as the first stitch.
Insert the hook into the two loops again and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through both loops. This counts as the first single crochet stitch. Continue for the rest of the stitches. Then pull the yarn tail to close the hole.
Color Changes:
When you get to the last stitch in the current color, insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and draw up a loop.
Yarn over with the new color and draw through both loops on the hook.

To make the tail jointed:
Insert the 6mm safety eye into the tail and push it through a hole on the 10th round. (The end should be sticking out on the side that is to face the fox' s back.) If the eye is sticking out/not completely in, use your hook to pull the yarn out of the way and then push the eye in more. Then sew the ends together so that there is no hole. Insert the end of the eye in the bottom center of the back of the body and place the washer over it. Then sew the head onto the body.
