Amigurumi Ruffles the clown

This is a toy that measures 12 inches tall and 7 inches wide (at the widest point)

This little clown isn't scary at all :) I found that most clowns looked scary and I wouldn't want my child to have them as a constant companion, with this little guy you won't have any worries about that. He would make a lovely companion to hug and to hold.

There aren't too many choices of dolls for little boys, so I think this may fit the bill, even little boys needed a cuddle companion :)

tools required:
yarn, small amount of yarn or embroidery floss for the mouth, 4 mm hook, polyester stuffing, 12 mm safety eyes, tapestry needle, 2 decorative buttons and a stitch marker.

Gauge is not important.
