• The yeti crochet pattern is made in the round.
• Round 1: Starting with the 7mm hook and using a strand each of the worsted weight yarn and fur yarn (so 2 strands total!) make a mr and sc x6 into the circle and pull tight when you are done (6). If it is difficult to make a magic ring, just ch x2 and sc x6 into the second ch from the hook. If you need help counting your stitches the stitch markers will be your best friend.
• The secret to working with fur yarn is to use a worsted weight yarn with it so you can see part of the stitch and feel it easier with your fingers by using a non textured yarn - the extra yarn is not noticeable once the pattern is completely made.
• Round 2: Inc in every stitch (12).
• Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18).
• Round 4: Inc, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
• Round 5-9: Sc in every stitch (24).
• Round 10: Dec, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18). Stuff with polyfill.
• Round 11: Dec, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (12).
• Round 12: Dec in every stitch (6). Fasten off the yarns and then Sew the bottom of the yeti closed.

Crochet Yeti Face:

• Round 1: With the blue yarn and 4mm hook, ch x6. Then starting in the second ch from the hook sc x4. Make 3 sc in the last stitch. Then sc x3 on the other side of the chain where it hasn't been worked in. Make 2 sc in the last stitch and sl st to the first sc you made in the round. This is the only time you have to make a sl st and is also the ending point for the other rounds.
• Round 2: Sc x3, inc x3, sc x3, inc x3 (18).
• Round 3: Sc x3, (inc, sc) x3, sc x3, (inc, sc) x3 (24).
• Round 4: Sc x3, (inc, sc x2) x3, sc x3, (inc, sc x2) x3 (30). Then fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
• Now it's time to add the eyes and embroidery.
• Insert the eyes between rounds 1 and 2 on the upper half of the oval.
• If you want: Add little half circles of white to the edge of the outer eyes for a more expressive look, and then take some yarn or thread and embroider a simple and cute mouth to the crochet yeti pattern. I personally made a smirk on my yeti but you can do it anyway you want.
• Sew the face to the yeti body. I chose to add my face to the upper half of the yeti body. To do this simply visualize your crochet Yeti in half and then sew the face to the upper half of the fluffy oval. You may need pins to hold it in place so you can test out the placement before sewing.

Hands and Feet:

• The feet and hands for the yeti crochet pattern are the same so make x4.
• Round 1: With the blue yarn and 4mm hook make a mr and then sc x6 into it. Pull tight (6).
• Round 2: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (9).
• Round 3-4: Sc in every stitch (9). Stuff with polyfill.
• Round 5: Dec, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (6). Once completed fold the opening in half and single crochet the opening shut by making 2 sc at the top going through both sides of the opening. Then fasten off and weave in the tail.
• Now to make the arms and legs!
• There are 2 different ways to make the legs and arms - you can crochet them directly into the body OR you can make them then sew them to the body so I will go over positioning first and then the pattern!
• The arms are placed an inch back from the edge of the face in line with the eyes. The legs are placed at the bottom of the yeti, in line with the eyes and edges of the face.

Arms:

• Either join directly to the yeti body or leave a long tail to sew.
• With the 7mm hook and both the worsted weight yarn and fluffy yarn ch x6. THEN SWITCH TO THE 4MM HOOK and sc into the hand in both sc spaces at the top. THEN SWITCH TO THE 7MM HOOK. Sc in each of the 6 chains. Then join back to the body. Fasten off and weave in the ends or if you choose to make it separately, sew the arm to the body.
• Repeat this for the other arm.

Legs:

• With the 7mm hook and both the worsted weight yarn and fluffy yarn ch x4. THEN SWITCH TO THE 4MM HOOK and sc into the foot in both sc spaces at the top. THEN SWITCH TO THE 7MM HOOK. Sc in each of the 4 chains. Then join back to the body. Fasten off and weave in the ends or if you choose to make it separately, sew the leg to the bottom of the body.
• Repeat this for the other leg.
• Once all the ends have been weaved in, your new abominable snowman made from my yeti crochet pattern is finished!
