After I completed my dinosaur tail I had another idea for a tail – a dragon one, so I got cracking and completed one!
I’ve still got a few more ideas for tails too so hopefully won’t be long until another pattern will appear!
The pattern for this is available over on my Etsy and Ravelry shop along with my dinosaur tail, and if you would like to make both there’s a double pattern available too. You can complete this in any colour combination, and add on more or fewer back spikes if you prefer. It can also be made to fit any size from baby to adult.

Oooh I think I like this one better than the dino one but I know which one my boys would prefer!

I really like this one – I think it’s the colour combination, am looking forward to making it in some different colours

I’ve just seen your pattern bundle! Do you mind me asking how much yarn approximately I’d need for a 6 year old size?

No problem, per blanket for that size I would say roughly about 3-4 balls of each colour (it’s worked in 3 strands, one of each colour at a time) for the tail, then one extra ball in the colour you choose to make the spikes in. You might get away with a little less wool but it will vary depending on how long you want it to be. Hope that helps – just let me know if there is anything else

There’s a couple used on this one: sc crochet stitches along with some decreasing sc stitches, htr (UK half treble)/ hdc (US half double), and trb (UK treble)/dc (US double)
Crocheted in the round.
