Hair & Tail

Do the same for the hair and tail (just different locations).

1. Cut 3 pieces of yarn 3-4 inches long each, fold each one in half.
2. Insert a hook into the area where you want the hair/tail, pull one folded yarn piece halfway through, then pull the 2 yarn ends through the pulled through loop, and pull to attach the yarn tightly.
3. Repeat this step 2 more times such that you have 6 pieces of yarn standing up per hair or tail then trim depending on how long you want your hair or tail to be.

Now your Baby Chick Amigurumi is complete!
