I recently had a message from someone who was having problems making the arms for the Yeti from my Yeti and Bigfoot pattern, They are made from the fingers upwards and the technique can be quite fiddly to get to grips with. Otherwise the pattern is quite a straightforward one for people fairly new to making amigurumi, so I thought it would be good to try to make the arms easier to crochet.
So, the pattern now includes the additional information on how to make the arms from the top down, which makes the fingers much easier to crochet. I still slightly prefer the way the original method looks, but there's not very much in it. If you've already bought the pattern you should be able to download it again and get the new version of the pattern. Contact me on the site where you bought it if you have any problems with this.
Let me know if you have any questions about this post.

ReplyDeleteAny ideas how to turn it into a puppet?
ReplyDeleteIt would depend on what kind of puppet. If you want to put your hand inside you could work up until the last few round, when the hole at the bottom is still big enough to put your hand in. Then keep working rounds at the same size to make a sort of sock that you push up inside. Before you do that, stuff the body a bit, leaving space for the 'sock', and decrease down to 6 stitches. THen you can push it up inside. This is just a theory, I've not tried it! You could attach thin sticks to the hands to be able to move those around.
