Cat Tail
Start with grey yarn, use H-hook
For a video on how to do the crochet loop stitch:
Round 1: Ch 8, join. For the loop stitch on the tail, you continue to work the stitches from the inside so that the loop stitches (wrong side of your work) face outwards (see picture). Make each loop approx. 1⁄2 inch from hook, about the width of your finger.
Round 2: Continue to work the loop stitch until your tail length reaches approx. 6 inches. Change to white yarn and continue the loop stitch for 1 1⁄2 more inches. Fasten off.
Cut all the loops so they are now strands of yarn. Use your brush to pull the fibers apart. Hold the base of your work firmly to prevent stretching the shape of the piece. If you brush too closely to the base, you may change the shape of tail or break the base yarn. **It is very important not to brush too close to the base of your stitch!!! It could cause a hole in your piece if you brush too close the center of the tail. Many of the fibers will come off/shed onto your brush, that’s okay, just discard them. You will now have a very fluffy piece.
