1.Start the thread on the hook. Select a small bunch of fox squirrel tail hair from the tip of the tail (needs to be long enough to weave).

2. Trim the ends of the hair even.

3. Tie in the hair by the trimmed tips, securing it all the way to the bend of the hook.

4. Tie in two strands of orange embroidery floss to the far side of the hook, securing it all the way to the bend.

5. Make a wrap of hair around the hook. As it comes around the bottom of the hook, loop the floss around the hair as shown.

6. Clinch the floss against the bottom of the hook then repeat Step 5.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have a complete, woven body with the floss on the bottom.

8. Tie off the floss and hair. Trim the floss and secure the hair to just behind the eye of the hook.

9. Flare the hair back with your thumb and index finger, trying to keep it even on all sides.

10. Hold the hair in place while you build a head. Whip finish and cement the head when you are finished.

11. Trim the hair a slightly past the bend of the hook.
