Tips for Circus Stripes
The circus tent’s bold stripes are worked with simple color changes: alternate red and white every few rounds, keeping the yarn twists neat inside. The peaked roof comes together with regular decreases, topped with a tiny flag made from a scrap of yarn on a mini pole. A little embroidered entrance flap at the front invites everyone to the show.

Care Instructions
Hand wash your circus tent gently in cool water with mild soap, press softly in a towel, and air dry flat, reshaping the peaked roof while damp. The tiny flag appreciates gentle handling, and flat storage keeps the bold stripes crisp between shows.
