Crochet Humpty Dumpty Egg

This happy little Crochet Humpty Dumpty Egg is made using a modified version of my Easter Egg pattern. He certainly doesn't fit in to an Easter decorating theme, but he does make a cute baby toy, baby shower decoration or gift topper.

    Many years ago someone gave my new baby a humpty dumpty made of fabric and it was one of his favorite toys. I think this would make many a baby happy, especially with the happy face !

    Truly, this is the sweetest, most handsome, and well dressed Humpty Dumpty that I have ever laid eyes on! Even with those well documented instructions though, I will let you do the crocheting and I will be happy to do the admiring. Never mind the bit of jealousy that I feel in my heart:)
