ITH stands for "In the Hoop" and refers to embroidery machine files that stitch a 3D project like this one. 

 .ZIP file Includes these machine embroidery file formats: DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PES, SEW, VIP, VP3, XXX

Sizes: one size only, 11” tall when completed*

Number of Hoopings: 3 per Yeti

• 6x10" hooping for body
• 5x7" hooping for hands and feet
• 4x4" hooping for head

If you don’t have a 6×10 hoop, there is a sewing template for the body so you can stitch that on your sewing machine, while your embroidery machine stitches the tricky bits like hands (5×7) and head (4×4).

* Finished size may vary depending on your assembly and stuffing
** Please refer to the image with design thumbnails for exact design measurements to verify your hoops are large enough.

These Yetis are designed as ART dolls for holiday/home decor, not play dolls for small children.   Please do not insert wire armatures into dolls intended for small children.  With all that being said, you CAN assemble your Yeti without the wire armature for a soft and floppy version. 

Skill Level: intermediate to advanced depending on which pattern options you choose. (see photos)

Estimated time to complete: 2-4 hours depending on skill level & embellishments
