To make the hair, cut a  approx 8x3 cm strap of cardboard. Wrap your dark yarn around the thinner  side until your cardboard covers with yarn and then cut through one side. This way you'll end up with a number of 6cm long straps of yarn. Fold a strap in half and pull it slightly through a stitch where you want your hair to begin. Once you've pulled a small loop, pull both the remaining ends all the way through the loop. Just like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rnf7Ok24Mk#action=share

To make a tail, make a chain of 10sc and stitch all the way back again (2 rows of 10sc). Attach the hair just like when you did to make the mane.
