Adding the Tail Flame

  1. You can use red and yellow yarn to create flame decorations for the tail:
    • Cut small pieces of yarn (red and yellow).
    • Attach them to the tail using loops: Place a loop of yarn on your hook, insert into the tail’s stitches, and pull the loop through, then pull the two strands through the loop.
    • Position red yarn in the middle and yellow yarn around the edges.
  2. Unravel the strands of yarn to create a "flame-like" texture by opening the twists. You can also brush the yarn with a bristled brush (like a cat brush) for a fluffier effect. Alternatively, cut flame-shaped felt pieces and glue them onto the tail.
