Tail: 

Using yarn tail left over from sewing body closed, move into desired place and make a loop through one of the stitches with it. Ch 10, turn, skip the first chain and sc in each chain to end. Secure and hide yarn tail into body. 

Tie two pieces of yarn through the bottom of the tail and then frayed them with a needle. Then cut to desired length.

6. FO leaving yarn tail to attach to body. 
7. Fold over the the edge of the ear on the top  (where the yarn tail has finished off/where the single crochets are) and tack into place for shape. Then sew to body
