Yippie K'Yeti

Introducing Yippie K’Yeti, the jolly yeti who’s ready for a Halloween adventure! This delightful character has packed his little knapsack and set off to join his fun-loving cousin, Bigfoot, for a memorable vacation in the west. With his charming personality and festive attire, Yippie K’Yeti is fully prepared to celebrate the spooky season—his Halloween look is already sorted!

Standing at a cute 15 cm tall, Yippie K’Yeti is an engaging and easy to medium knitting project, perfect for knitters looking to add a whimsical touch to their Halloween decorations. Crafted using 2.50 mm (US 1.5) double-pointed needles (dpn), he is made with Scheepjes Softy (479) in a warm beige shade (with an added glow-in-the-dark strand of DMC E940 for a magical touch), as well as Rowan Felted Tweed in colors (157) camel and (175) cinnamon for his adorable knapsack.

One of the best parts of creating Yippie is personalizing him! Use your favorite scraps of yarn to make a variety of unique and smaller features, allowing your creativity to shine.

This knitting pattern incorporates both flat and round techniques, along with redistribution of stitches, which is clearly explained through detailed schematics. Additionally, it features i-cord knitting, making it a versatile project that will enhance your knitting skills.

As an exciting bonus, Yippie K’Yeti has a little nighttime surprise: HE GLOWS IN THE DARK! Thanks to luminescent yarns available from popular brands like DMC and Gütermann, Yippie will bring a twinkling charm to your Halloween festivities.

This year, consider giving Yippie K’Yeti a cozy and safe home, or even take him trick-or-treating for an extra dose of fun and spirit! This pattern is not just about knitting; it’s about making memories. So gather your supplies and start crafting your own jolly yeti today. HAPPY HALLOWEEN from all of us! Viv
