INTRODUCTION

You love clowns or you are just looking for something to celebrate carnival or a kid's birthday with? Then this Crochet Clown pattern might just be what you are looking for. The pattern includes detailed description and lots of step-by-step illustrations on 15 pages that guide you through the crochet process in order to create the 17.5 cm tall, beautiful Clown August.

Clown August includes a wire so that it can take on a sitting or any other position. It additionally includes lots of small details, such as a 2-layered flower, back pockets or a hair "clip".

Caution: this pattern requires the following special crochet techniques: working in back-loops only resp. crocheting in 2 layers (crocheting on the front-loops of back-loop rounds), tapestry crochet and bobble stitching. Due to the nature of crocheting and sewing small details such as the mouth, flower or back pockets, this pattern is rather suitable for more advanced crocheters, but it is doable for anyone who can master the special crochet techniques mentioned above.

The English crochet pattern is written in US Crochet Terminology.
