Crochet Humpty Dumpty Egg

By Lorraine

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.

Crocheted Humpty Dumpty Egg Pattern

NOTE: When working in rounds, I mark the end of each round with a piece of contrasting yarn and move it as I complete each round.

 
4-ply yarn in white, blue and red and very small amount of yellow for the bow
G or H crochet hook
2 small beads for eyes (or black yarn to make French Knots for the eyes)
Fiber fill
 
EGG BODY
Starting at the bottom of the egg with blue yarn:
ch 3. Join with sl st in 3rd ch from hook to form a ring

Rnd 13-15: change color to white. work even (33 sc)

    A friend of mine loaned me a Humpty Dumpty to see if I could make more just by looking at it. But I didn’t know how to do the arms and legs until now. Thanks so much for the pattern.

    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:)
