Don’t let those fierce teeth fool you—even yetis have their soft sides! Yeti for Bed prepares for bedtime in red jammies and bunny slippers. The yeti’s body is knitted in one piece in the round, with arms added on held stitches. The head is also knitted in the round and sewn to the body. Embroidery details add charm to this cuddly fellow.
