This is the 4th piece of the Cheshire Cat costume. It is a very simple pattern. There is no video tutorial since this is a continuous repeat pattern. This particular tail was made for the Cheshire Cat costume, however, this can be modified to be crocheted for any type of tail for any costume! The length can be changed to accommodate any size. It can be made short or long.
Enjoy this pattern and leave a comment!

You are hilarious. Really made me smile when I saw the photo. I just might try those hand warms. Lol
I love this , I will be making these for my daughter to uses this October thank you for creating such beautiful things
Hey I was just wondering if you would be able to make a video on how to make the tail, I tried to follow the written pattern but it got a bit confusing to understand what I was to be doing when I got to the length I wanted it to be.
I’m sorry it got confusing. Unfortunately I do not have a video tutorial. When I finished, I just sewed up the back and then pinned it to an elastic band that fit around my waist. I hope you aren’t too confused and are able to make it. The whole outfit is awesome. ~Nadia

Hi, can you clear up how to start off the tail? I am a bit confused. How many do I initially chain? Also, at the end of each round, do I slip stitch to the beginning of the round to create the circle shape?
