- Round 2: inc in each st (12).

- Round 9–end: Continue in sc around (12) until the tail reaches your desired length (approx. 22–25 cm for the upright curl).
👉 Do not close the end yet.
🛠 Preparing the Wire
- Cut a piece of wire slightly longer than the crocheted tail.
- Bend the ends into small loops (so they don’t poke through).
- Wrap the entire wire in yarn, felt, or pipe cleaner to soften it.
- If you want the curved heart-like shape, bend the wire into that shape before inserting it.
🐾 Assembly
- Lightly stuff the tail with a little fiberfill (optional—don’t overstuff, or it won’t bend well).
- Insert the wrapped wire inside the tail.
- Continue crocheting until the tail is fully closed. FO (fasten off) and leave a long yarn tail for sewing.
- Sew the tail firmly to the back of the cat’s body.
- Bend the tail gently into the final shape.
💡 Extra Tips
- If the toy is for children, make sure the wire is completely covered and secured. You can glue felt over the ends before inserting.
- For a softer but bendable option, you can twist two pipe cleaners together instead of wire (works better on smaller dolls).
- If you want both cats’ tails to form a heart shape together, make the wires inside each tail curve toward each other symmetrically before sewing them on.
🧷 FINAL ASSEMBLY
- Attach arms and legs securely to body
- Sew head to body
- Curve and secure tail tips into a heart shape between the two cats
- Add accessories (bow tie, flower, collar)
- Position them sitting close for a romantic look!
