Patterns!

Well, this is, like, the first pattern I've ever made, and it's really small. If you follow the directions. Anyway, I'm really lazy (I get bored of projects easily), and I didn't want to check it, so it should work relatively well. Comment with any issues, please!
:D Oh yeah, it's a mini monkey. I gave mine to a guy at school, because he gave me an eraser (unfair trade :P), and I forgot to take a picture. Bummer. Whateves, maybe I'll make another and take a picture. And PLEASE send in pictures of your own if you make one. They're small and quick, so I encourage trying it!

TAIL

Cut 3 (or more) strands of any color(s) 8-10in long, and loop them in half. Stick the crochet hook through a stitch near the bottom of the back of the body. Hook the strands onto it, and pull it back through the stitch. Pull the loose ends

through the loop of the strands. There should be double the amount of strands. I braided the tail.
