Halo
Ch 20, join, sc in ch, (ch 2, sc in next ch) around. Join with slip st. break thread
Shaping: I recommend Aleene's fabric stiffener You will need a stryofoam cone (I use a 2" tall cone, plastic wrap, a small amount of cotton, and 6 stainless steel pins. You may either place angel in a plastic bag with stiffener, soak, and squeeze out excess, or pin and shape, and with a clean white cloth or sponge, saturate after pinning. I prefer to pin my projects, and then wet them, using a natural sponge.
Wrap mold in plastic wrap. Place skirt over it, and pin, pulling points down. Roll a small amount of cotton in a strip of plastic wrap, thread thru wings. Shape the points of the wings, rounding the wings slightly, and having the center point "centered" on top.
Shape the halo into a circle, using a pin point to pull loops out to points. Lightly moisten head. You do NOT want to soak this, just moisten lightly with stiffener to give it a coat. Let dry thouroughly (usually 8 hours) gently remove from form. Excess stiffener will dry clear, and can be removed with a clean toothbrush. To hang, run a length of elastic cord (silver or gold for ornaments) thru head, to form loop. Place halo over loop, and hot glue into position on head..

Using LC thread Make border as for front. Fasten off.
Thread a sewing needle with LC. Stitch front and back together leaving about 1-1/2" to 2"
opening at top.
POTPOURRI HOLDER: Sew a little case (about 2" - 3" square) out of light weight material or
crochet one out of white thread. Sew three sides closed. Fill case with potpourri and sew fourth
side. .Insert the little case into the pouch.
TO DECORATE POUCH: Loosely thread ribbon in and out of Rnd 5 of the pouch. Pull up ends
at the top so that they match. Make a bow close top the pouch face and then another one closer
to the ends of the ribbon. This will allow the pocket to be dangled from a doorknob.
Using a small sewing needle and LC thread, make three strings of beads alternating silver/gold
and pearls. Sew the strands to the bottom of the pouch.

"SPIRAL CLOWN
This wonderful crib toy can sit quietly in a corner or hang as a mobile. If
you put him on an elastic to hang, he will bounce up and down when given a
slight tug. Anne Lane's clown is made with red and white yarns, but this
might be a good time to let your imagination run wild. Combine all the
colorful scraps in your yarn baskset and make each one differently.

black embroidery floss; polyfil stuffing

sc on rnd 14). Stuff head firmly before opening becomes too small.

length of yarn for sewing
Body Half: Make 2. With red and H hook, ch 11.
Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd-last ch and in each remaining ch (10 sc). Ch 1 and turn
Rows 2-12: Work even on 10 sc. Ch 1 and turn at end of each row. End off
at end of row 12.
Neck Ruffle: With white yarn and H hook, ch 15.
Rnd 1: 2 dc in 3rd-last ch, 3 dc in each remaining ch.
End off, leaving 12-inch length of yarn for sewing.
Hat: With red and 00 hook, ch 2

Finish:
Twist arms and legs spirals until curled and sew together at 8th spiral.
These first 8 spirals form arms, the longer spirals are legs.
Sew head firmly to arms and legs at joining point. Next sew body half
p0ieces together with several overcast stitches at middle of bottom edges.
Sllip over legs and up to neck. Sew shoulder seams. Sew side seams from
bottom to underarms.
Place neck ruffle around neck. Sew ends together and sew neck ruffle to
bottom of head. Sew hat to top of head.
With black embroidery floss, make 2 crossed stitches for eyes. With red
embroidery floss, embroider a nose and a smiling mouth.
If you want a jingly clown, add small bells to the ends
of arms and legs"
NOTE for the 1990's: Re: current baby/crib safety guidelines, I would not
attach little bells to the arms and legs where they could be bitten off
(maybe put them inside the body instead). Also, if attaching with elastic, I
would keep the elastic really short so it couldn't get wound around any body
parts. Would probably also be a good idea to wash the clown in baby laundry
soap before giving.
