Tips for a Dashing Ringmaster
The ringmaster’s grandeur comes from his costume: a bright red coat with gold trim suggested by surface stitches, tiny epaulettes on the shoulders, and a tall black top hat worked firmly so it holds its shape. A miniature whip or baton in one hand adds drama. Embroider a confident mustache or a warm smile to give your ringmaster personality worthy of the center ring.
