PHILIPPE THe YeTI BY:LaURen SYnoWIec
Materials:
·Yarn in White, Light Blue, Gray and a small amount of Dark Blue (I used Red Heart Brand) Amigurumi Size Hook- I use an E size hook because that is what works for me. I know most people use a size G Fiberfil Safety Eyes ?Small amount of Felt Tapestry Needle Stitch Marker
Notes:
Gage isn't important provided you keep the same gage all the way around. Philippe came out to be about 5 inches tall. The numbers in the parentheses () is the count you should have at the end of the row. Each row starts at the stitch marker. I sew everything on before connecting the head and body, I find this makes a neater project and makes it easier to attach everything. This project is worked in the Round Abbreviations: (this is done in the US style) sc: Single Crochet hdc: Half Double Crochet inc: Increase- two stiches in the same stitch hdinc: Increase using Half Double Crochet dec: Decrease by joining two stitches together clu: Cluster Stitch (yarn over, insert hook and pull a loop through, yarn over, pull a loop through so you now have five loops on your hook, yarn over, pull through all five loops) Blo: Back loops only Sl: slip stitch

I feel by connecting the facial features before finishing the project gives for a neater end effect. It is also a little bit easier for those who struggle. For the ears I used this fabulous Youtube video I came across one day: http: //youtu.be/Qtnlw9Apa A I enjoyed the technique. Stick on safety eyes (or sew your own) and embroider your facial expression you desire. I added a tooth with felt and clear tacky glue; I also used a tooth pick to push the tooth under the mouth for a nice look. I stuffed the horns a little as well.

Assembly:
Attach all the parts to the body (as seen in picture). I started with the feet, then tail, belly and arms. Feel free to make the arms longer or shorter based on your needs. I stuffed all parts but the Arms. I liked the flat look but if you want the fluffy look, go for it. When sewing the arms I tacked down the sides and the top so they would lay flat on the body. Once you have all parts on, attach body to head and you are done! I hope you enjoy your very own Yeti. Please do not sellthis product or claim it as your own design since I have posted it for free.
