For the sunset colors and circus theme Wheelie Wednesday I crochet a circus clown using various colors of sunsets I see. Yellow, orange, gold, and red. No pattern, just created a clown that reminded me of the spirally clowns of my youth. Bernat scraps and size 6 hook.

Sunset Circus was hard for me! I finally decided to make a dancing bear. I used sunset colors on various decorations for him. Doll shoes were glued on for "tap" dancing.

• I made a clown using the Spiral Clown pattern by Mangolemmon on Ribblr.
• It was made using Red Heart Unforgettable yarn (weight 4) with a 4mm hook for arms and hat and 5mm hook for the legs and ruffle. Along with this the head was made using Caron Simply Soft (Weight 4) and a 3.75mm hook.
• My husband is not fond of clowns but really liked this one for some reason.
