Cord Portion of the tail Make your standard I -cord using size 7 (don't worry about gauge) double point needles, Cast on 4 stitches onto the needle. Make this as long as you want, then cast off. Use a safety pin to attach the tail to your clothing. If you put the safety pin on the inside of the clothing, no one will see how the tail is attached.

Felt your gauge swatch (or purchase felt); cut it into a triangle shape. Find the center of the largest side of the triangle. Attach your I-cord at this spot with yarn; weave the ends of the "yarn thread" into the I-cord.
