Bright Blue (used for triangles on face)

Black (used for detail on leg ruffles, eyes, mouth)

Safety eyes

Gold 9mm (solid black will be fine as well)

Wire

I use 14 gage and I double it. The wire frame is used to make the clown posable and is optional

Wooden dowel

I use the one that comes in the fiber fill (used for head support)

Masking tape

I double my wire and put a layer of tape around it, if you purchase larger wire that does not need to be doubled, you do not need tape

Super Glue

I use this to secure the safety eyes, I do not use the backs. If you plan on using the backs or are not using safety eyes, you will not need glue. Because I do not use the backs I will not have a proper placement guide for you to use them however I will try to explain it if you chose that

Fiber Fill

One 16oz bag will be more than enough

Hooks

3.25 mm

3.5 mm

5 mm

Using other materials may result in a different size. Be sure to check your gage and adjust hook size to obtain the correct gage. Gage for different parts will be listed at the beginning of that section. My finished doll is approximately 21 ½ inches tall.

At this point make your wire frame. I took my wire and cut 21 inches of it, folded that in half. About 81/2 inches bend wire at a 90 degree angle, go about 21/2 inches over now and bend again to form the legs.

At the end of row 20, cut leaving a tail long enough to sew the sleeve together

Now fold it in half and sew the sleeve shut along row 20 and the row of chain spaces.

Fasten off all loose ends and slide the sleeve onto the doll. You will now crochet while sleeve is on the doll.

changing colors after each (dc, inc). You will be

doing three sts in each color. All the way around.

End with a sl st into the top of chain 3. Make sure

colors line up (108)

How you do this is, on the last dc of one color,

Yo, insert hook into stitch, yo, pull through stitch, yo pull through two loops on hook, now YO IN OTHER COLOR, pull through last two loops on hook. Do the next stitches over the tail from the precious color so it will be available to you when you need it next. This way you do not have to cut the yarn every 3 stitches. Use this same concept for the next row, modified for sl st and chain.

Row 5: in flo (ch 1, sl st) around being sure to match up

the color change. Cut and fasten off

Cut leaving a tail long enough to sew cap to head

Using cherry red yarn cut 8 inch strands, then separate the strand from 4ply to 2ply strands.

Loop the strands onto the hair cap around every stitch post on the cap and around the front loops of the border sc stitches.

Go back to the head and using needle sculpting create a bridge to the nose. Where you have the nose marked off go up one row and one stitch place outside of the nose, pull that to the other side in the same place. Do this for a few rows in a straight line to create the bridge of the nose.

Now sew on the nose at the bottom of the bridge between the cheeks. You can remove the nose stitch markers now.

Sew on the eyes at a slight tilt above the cheeks where the corner of the eye will be at the corner of the bridge you created. Don't forget to put one single line down at the bottom of the eye. If you didn't use the backs now remove the safety eye and put super glue in the hole and the safety eye back in. Sew on the triangles above each eye. Using black yarn, embroider eyebrows onto the face

Sew on the mouth adding a line (I went over it 3 times) that goes from the corner to a downward tilt.



Using the back loops from the boarder around the hair cap, sew hair onto the head, it will tilt so that it is higher in the back then in the front.

Now brush the hair and trim where needed to achieve the desired look!!!

Now insert your wooden dowel into the body behind the wire frame. Leave about 6 inches sticking out and place the head on. Making sure the head is straight, sew it to the body.

Congratulations, you have completed your clown. I hope you enjoyed making him as much as I did. If you have any questions please contact me and I will answer in a timely manner.
