INTRO

This stuffed yeti toy is replete with all of the wintry touches—colorwork sweater, hat, mitts, scarf and a mug of hot cocoa or tea—while also representing the abominable monster that it is with knit horns and an embroidered toothy grin.

Yeti is worked from the bottom up and in the round. The arms, feet and horns are picked up and worked in the round, and the ears are picked up and worked flat. The scarf is knit separately and worked flat, and the mug is worked separately and in the round. Colorwork chart for the sweater includes written instructions.

This pattern accompanies the Yeti’s Snow Day Mitts pattern.

YARN AND YARDAGE

This pattern is intended to use up the yarn leftovers from the yarn called for in the Yeti’s Snow Day Mitts pattern, or vice versa. For the sake of consistency, MC, CC1 and CC2 are labeled the same for both patterns, although in this pattern CC2 is actually the first color used.

Please note that with the 10% buffer, CC1 and CC2 yardage exceeds the total amount listed on each mini skein label when working both the Abominable Yeti and Yeti’s Snow Day Mitts projects. However, both samples were worked without running out of yarn. If you plan to work both projects, it is recommended to keep your yarn tails as short as possible and to keep an eye on your yardage throughout.*
