Happy April!

This month’s Mini tier pattern is Chuckles from Toy Story.

I think that clowns can be a very creepy if not done correctly, so I was worried how chuckles would turn out. Fortunately, I think that he looks more cute than creepy – and I hope that you agree with me!

This pattern is straight forward, with the exception to the shoes I applied my usual techniques that I have used multiple times in my previous patterns – such as with the hands, attaching the hair and a little thread contouring.

I did have to get a little creative when it came to the clown shoes. I wanted to be able to crochet it all as once piece, but in the end, it was just unnecessarily complicated. So, I opted to crochet the main shoe first and the attach the yarn and crochet the ball tip of the shoes afterwards. I am very happy with the finished look and didn’t feel that it was very complicated. I love that thanks to the feet my Chuckles can stand unaided – it makes it easier to take pictures!

There weren’t huge opportunities for mixed media in this project, but I still found a way to squeeze some polymer clay buttons in. Aside from the buttons the only other medium used is felt for the details applied to the face, shirt and trousers.

Chuckles measures approximately 5.25 inches/13.5cm tall and 6 inches/15cm wide.
