Finish Yeti

After all parts are finished we only need to put them together. First you should do this with pins, so later everything will fit well.

You will start with sewing the arms. Fold them flat and sew them with the opening horizontally around the 17th round. Each arm has a distance of 4 stitches to the outer edge of the eyes. For sewing you can use the thread ends.

Next also the legs will be folded flat and sewn around the 34th round at the bottom of the body. The legs should have a distance of 3 stitches to each other and you can use here the thread ends as well.

Next the horns will be sewn with the opening facing to the head. They sit on the left and the right side of the eye mask between the 5th and the 9th round. Sew them once around and fill them before you are at the end.

Now you can tie on the claws at the arms and the legs. Maybe the Tutorial to tie on small parts will help you. On the arms the claws sit at the 1st and 2nd round and make a bow on the outer side. At best you start with the middle claw and then you can add the outer claws. At the legs the claws sit on the upper side of the 5th round, but here you need 4 and so you need to place the first both on the sides of the middle.

Then you embroider two teeth with white Darning Yarn making some vertical stitches. Then you embroider a line as mouth with black Darning Yarn.

Finished is your self crocheted yeti. I hope it will make you happy!
