Humpty Dumpty Pattern

I’m happy to present my Humpty Dumpty pattern to you all! This seems an ideal time of year to release an egg doll seeing that Easter is just around the corner! 🙂 But of course this little guy is the beloved character from the classic Mother Goose nursery rhyme, and can be enjoyed year round!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

When made with the recommended materials, this doll is just under 4inches/9cm high from his head to the floor, not including his hat
