JoJo The Clown Knitting pattern – 53cm / 21ins

Oh how cute coco the clown, a knitted toy
This knitting pattern is easy to follow and requires basic stitches and knowledge required
With the clear written instructions comes lots of close up photos to cross reference instructions, if you need them

WHAT YOU NEED  Suggested yarn is Stylecraft Special DK or any synthetic of cotton yarn ( note depending on the yarn and needles used will either make your toy smaller or larger)

YARN:
Hands and head = PINK
Legs and trimmings = WHITE
Hat and trousers = RED
Shoes = BLACK
Top = GREEN and LIGHT GREEN
Hair = YELLOW
Trim =  BLUE

– CROCHET HOOK: 3.25mm – 35cm long single pointed knitting needles
– Yarn Needle
– Toy stuffing (Preferably the polyester small round ball type)
– Scissors
– Pencil or non toxic fabric paint for cheeks
– 4 x 5mm white or gold buttons

TENSION/GAUGE: The gauge of the sample was 27sts and 38 rows over 10cm (4 ins) in stocking stitch using 3.235mm knitting needles. However, gauge is not necessary as it does not matter what yarn or hook you use it will come out in balance, just one word of advice, I use a smaller size needles than normal when working toys, especially the body, so that stuffing does not show through & the toy shapes better

FINISHED TOY : Using the above yarn it measured from top of head to bottom (standing), approximately: 53cm(21ins) high
