Circus Clown
This Circus Clown cross stitch pattern captures all the vivid character of a classic circus performer, with a striking red-and-white costume, bold ruffled collar, and a wide painted grin framed by a jaunty red hat. The rich, contrasting colours make it a genuinely eye-catching piece to stitch.
Whether you are a fan of vintage circus artistry or simply love a design full of personality, this pattern is a wonderful choice. Finished and framed, it makes a playful addition to any wall, and would delight anyone who appreciates a little theatrical charm as a gift.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
