Ever since Giggles the Creepy Clown Cat came to town, things have seemed a little off. First, all the balloons in town deflated. Then, some people reported hearing the faint sound of circus music following them at night. Now, some of the townspeople seem to be missing, but no one can quite remember who. Giggles says that if you just follow him back to his circus, everything will be okay. You’ll purr too…

This 17-page crochet pattern contains all of the instructions and photos you will need in order to create your own clown cat, complete with two different balloons: normal and skull. There is also an additional 8-page printer-friendly version of the pattern included. The head, body and legs are all crocheted as one piece and the ruffles are crocheted on, so relatively little sewing is needed!
