Grinning Clown with Ruffled Collar
This grinning clown portrait is full of personality. Tufts of red hair frame a painted white face with a wide smile, while a little blue hat sits jauntily on top. A big ruffled collar in golden yellow and a blue costume finish the look with a playful, slightly spooky edge.
It suits stitchers who enjoy characterful subjects and a bold palette of blue, red and yellow. The shaded face and the layered folds of the collar give plenty to enjoy as you work. Framed for the wall, it makes a fun statement piece, and it would be a memorable gift for a fan of circus nostalgia or a Halloween lover.

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.
