happy new year!

Here is a crochet pattern for a murder drones nanite tail (it squeaks!) I made this in a murder drones induced haze, so it is probably 95% incomprehensible. keep in mind i am a beginner as well. Used medium weight yarn, and a US sized 2.5mm hook

STARTING WITH BLACK, BODY: r1: in magic ring, sc 6, sl st into first stitch. r2: ch1, inc in all stitches x6, sl st (12). r3: ch1, (sc inc) x6, sl st (18). r4: ch1, (sc x2, inc) x6, sl st (24). r5: ch1, (scx3, inc) x6, sl st (30). r6: ch1, BLO sc all throughout, sl st (30). r7-8: ch1, sc all, sl st (30). CHANGE COLOR TO YELLOW. r9-22: ch1, sc all, sl st (30). CHANGE BACK TO BLACK. r23-24: ch1, sc all, sl st (30). r25: ch1, BLO sc all, sl st (30). r26: ch1, (scx3, dec) x6, sl st (24). r27: ch1, (scx2, dec) x6, sl st (18). Stuff with polyfil and perhaps a toy squeaker. r28: ch1, (sc, dec) x6, sl st (12). r29: ch1, dec all, sl st (6). cut yarn and sew shut.

LONG PART OF TAIL, USE BLACK YARN: make an icord of 65 stitches, sl st, and sew to the topside of the body. Here's a good tutorial on how to make an icord.

SIDE THINGY, USE BLACK YARN: on the side of the body just above the black parts, insert hook into a side stitch and chain 3, then dc 14x along the side stitches, sl st, and then sew tail into body.

STINGER, USE GRAY YARN: (this gets messy) from slip knot, r1: ch 21. r2: dc atarting from third stitch from the hook x7, hdc x3, sc x6, sl st into the last two chains, r3: flip, sc4, hdc all to first stitch of r2. STINGER HANDLE, GRAY YARN: r3?: from the last stitch made on the stinger, ch 12. r4: ch1, flip, sc all, sl at into side stitch of stinger. sew handle securely onto stinger. Sew flat side of stinger onto the "side thingy".

NANITE TUBE, USE YELLOW YARN: from slip knot, ch 13 and sl st into last chain. leave tail and sew onto top of nanite body and tip of stinger handle.

FINISHED

Clip or tie onto belt loop and enjoy silly tail :)
