Once you meet the neck, SlSt in the next 2 st (Pic 5). Then working on the body, repeat *Ch 2. On the body, SlSt in the next 2 st* down the body (Pic 6). Stop repeating when you meet the tail (Pic 6).

Once you’re on the tail, Sc down the tail. At the tip of the tail, Sc into the tip 2 times. On the other side of the tail, Sc down the other side of the tail, but not completely (Pic 7). We will need room to insert a pipecleaner. Fold a pipecleaner in half (Pic 8) then twist the pipecleaner together (Pic 9). Bend the sharp point of the pipecleaner up to make both ends dull (Pic 10). Insert the pipecleaner into the tail (Pic 11). Continue Sc down the tail. Stuff the part where the tail meets the body.
